Learn how to leverage Synergy in Dispatch! Discover pairs, understand effects, and maximize your mission success chances. Your friendly guide to mastering Synergy.

Hey there! So, you're looking to get the most out of your missions in Dispatch, huh? Let's talk about Synergy. It's a super handy mechanic that can really boost your success rates, especially when things get tough. Think of it as giving your heroes a little extra pep in their step when they're working together. ### What is Synergy? Synergy is basically a special bonus you get when you send certain characters out together on a dispatch. It kicks in starting from the second dispatch in episode 3. After Robert has a little chat with the Z-Team about sabotaging each other, you'll get the chance to pair up specific heroes. These pairs not only help each other succeed but also stop sabotaging each other during the first shift. ### How Synergy Works When you activate synergy for the first time, you'll see a nice increase in your mission success chance. It starts at a 5% boost and can go all the way up to 15% at max level (which is level 3). How do you level it up? Simple: just keep sending those synergistic pairs out on missions together. The more they work as a team, the stronger their bond (and the bonus!) becomes. This is a lifesaver when the combined stats of your heroes aren't quite enough to guarantee a mission success on their own. For instance, if a synergy pair at level 2 only covers 90% of the required stats for a mission, their 10% synergy bonus (from being level 2) will bump that up to 100%, skipping the success check entirely. Pretty neat, right? ### Synergy Pairs Alright, let's get to the good stuff – who works well together? There are currently eight combinations that give you that sweet synergy bonus: * Golem and Invisigal * Prism and Flambae * Malevola and Sonar * Punch Up and Coupé Now, things get a little interesting after Episode 3, specifically during the Turnover mission. You'll have to make a tough call and let go of either Coupé or Sonar. Whoever you choose to let go will affect the next episode, Restructure. Their closest buddy (Punch Up or Malevola, respectively) will get a bit moody, maybe pull some pranks, or even leave early for a shift. Then, before the second shift in Episode 4, Blonde Blazer will offer you a choice between Phenomaman or Waterboy to join the team. Whichever new recruit you pick will become the new synergistic partner for the hero who lost theirs (Punch Up or Malevola). So, the fifth replacement pairs can be: * Malevola and Phenomaman * Malevola and Waterboy * Punch Up and Phenomaman * Punch Up and Waterboy Just a heads-up: Phenomaman and Blonde Blazer used to be a synergistic pair, but that got patched out, so don't worry about trying to make that one work anymore. ### Understanding the Effects As I mentioned, the choice you make in Episode 3 has ripple effects. If you let Coupé go, Punch Up will be the one affected. If you let Sonar go, Malevola will be the one affected. The new recruit you pick in Episode 4 will then pair up with the affected hero. This is important to keep in mind when planning your team composition! That's the lowdown on Synergy! Keep these pairs in mind, and you'll be boosting your mission success rates in no time. Happy dispatching!
