Materia Combinations and Synergies

Master Materia Combinations and Synergies in Synergy's Dispatch Episode 8, strategically assigning heroes like Prism, Golem, and Punch Up to save City HP.

In Dispatch Episode 8: Synergy, your initial hero lineup is limited, requiring strategic deployment to manage incoming calls effectively. Your choices for Blazer's dialogue can influence relationships, and failing calls will deplete City HP, impacting your overall success and achievement potential. Understanding hero assignments for each job is crucial to maintaining city stability.

At the start of this episode, you will begin with only three heroes: Prism, Golem, and Punch Up. The remaining heroes will join later. Note that Invisigal may still be unavailable depending on previous choices (refer to the All Endings Guide if you need to ensure she is present for a good ending).

Here's how to assign your available heroes to the various jobs:

• Return to Crypto Night:
  • Punch Up
• Evacuation Order:
  • Prism (Aim for a Charisma goal of 7 to earn an XP boost)
• Capture Experiment 1067:
  • Golem (Requires someone with Mobility)
• Bomb Threat:
  • Prism AND Punch Up/Golem

A critical mechanic in this episode is the City HP. Each time you fail a call, you will lose some City HP. To save the city and earn an achievement, you must prevent the City HP from reaching zero.

For the Locate the Tracker mission, which involves a timed Hacking Sequence, follow these steps:

1. Go down to the Build path and proceed right towards the Antivirus.
2. Juke out the Antivirus and use the Build path directly behind it, as it is shorter than the top one.
3. Once the path is created, try to lure the Antivirus to the upper section.
4. Quickly loop around, go back down, and interact with the bottom Build path again. The goal is to cut the path and trap the Antivirus in the upper section to facilitate the next part.
5. Return to the second (upper) Build path and complete it as quickly as possible to build a path leading further west.

Regarding dialogue choices for Blazer at the beginning of the shift, some choices will be remembered:

• Go
• Just come back (+ relationship with Blonde Blazer)
• Stay

If you encounter issues with Invisigal, particularly if you cannot trust her after Royd leaves the room, you will lose mentor points. To ensure a good ending, it may be necessary to restart and consistently side with Invisigal throughout previous episodes.
