Tips
  • Failure to complete calls results in City HP loss. Ensure City HP doesn't reach zero to save the city and earn an achievement.
  • Use special items and heroes like Malevola and Waterboy for healing during high-risk injury missions.
  • Pay attention to character-specific abilities and stat requirements for optimal mission success.
  • Some choices have lasting consequences, such as Invisigal rejoining the team or the option to recruit an ex-team member later.
Saving the city unlocks the option to let an ex-team member rejoin later. Failing the final battle removes this option. Achievements are earned for saving the city.
