Managing a superhero agency isn't just about pointing and clicking. You need the right heroes for the right missions, and with ten unique characters in Dispatch, making smart deployment choices can mean the difference between mission success and catastrophic failure. This comprehensive tier list breaks down every hero's strengths, weaknesses, and optimal use cases to help you dominate the management game.
S-Tier Heroes: The Elite Picks
Coupé - The Versatile Powerhouse
Coupé stands as the game's most reliable hero thanks to her balanced stat distribution. She doesn't excel in any single area but performs competently across all mission types. This flexibility makes her invaluable for unpredictable scenarios where you need a safe, consistent choice.
Optimal Upgrades: Focus on Combat and Vigor to enhance her already solid foundation. Her balanced nature means she benefits from any investment, but these two stats provide the most immediate impact.
Best Mission Types: Multi-objective operations, emergency deployments, backup support
Malevola - The Adaptable Specialist
Like Coupé, Malevola brings excellent all-around capabilities with slightly different strengths. Her stat distribution leans toward Combat and Charisma, making her particularly effective in missions requiring both force and finesse.
Optimal Upgrades:Combat and Charisma for maximum impact, though she can be molded into any role based on your team's needs.
Best Mission Types: Hostage negotiations, high-stakes PR events, leadership roles

A-Tier Heroes: Strong Specialists
Invisigal - The Speed Demon
Invisigal excels at Mobility and Combat, making her perfect for hit-and-run operations. Her ability to reach objectives faster than other heroes gives her a unique tactical advantage, though her lack of team synergy limits her effectiveness in group missions.
Optimal Upgrades:Mobility and Combat to maximize her natural advantages.
Punch Up - The Charismatic Tank
This powerhouse combines impressive Combat capabilities with surprising Charisma. Punch Up can handle both physical confrontations and delicate social situations, though his low Intellect makes him unsuitable for puzzle-heavy missions.
Optimal Upgrades:Combat and Charisma to reinforce his dual-threat nature.
Phenomaman - The Bruiser
Phenomaman brings exceptional Defense, Mobility, and Combat stats, making him ideal for high-intensity missions requiring brute force. However, his complete lack of Charisma and Intelligence severely limits his versatility.
Optimal Upgrades:Intelligence and Charisma to address his glaring weaknesses.
Warning
Never send Phenomaman alone to hostage situations or PR events. His social skills are practically nonexistent.
B-Tier Heroes: Situational Picks
Golem - The Utility Player
Golem shines in specific scenarios like fire suppression missions thanks to his unique abilities. While his Intellect remains his weak point, his Vigor and situational usefulness earn him a solid B-tier placement.
Optimal Upgrades:Vigor and Mobility to improve his deployment speed and survivability.
Prism - The Glass Cannon
High Combat and Charisma make Prism excellent for missions requiring both fighting prowess and social grace. Her low durability means careful deployment is essential, but she can excel when properly supported.
Optimal Upgrades:Charisma and Combat to maximize her existing strengths.
C-Tier Heroes: Limited Applications
Sonar - The Form Shifter
Sonar possesses a unique ability to swap between two forms, alternating between high Intellect/Charisma and strong Vigor/Combat stats. This flexibility sounds powerful but proves difficult to optimize in practice.
Optimal Upgrades:Intellect and Charisma to enhance his analytical form.
Flambae - The One-Trick Fighter
Excellent Combat and decent Mobility define Flambae, but his poor Intellect severely limits mission options. He's effective in pure combat scenarios but struggles everywhere else.
Optimal Upgrades:Combat and Mobility to reinforce his fighting focus.
Waterboy - The Auto-Deployer
Waterboy can assign himself to missions automatically, but his universally low stats make him the weakest hero currently available. He's useful for filling gaps when other heroes are unavailable.
Optimal Upgrades: Focus on any single attribute first to establish a baseline competency.
