Database • Missions
Mission Types & Calls
I keep this page practical: what each call type demands, what the difficulty labels really feel like, and a mission browser that shows stat gates fast. 📞
Call Types: what each icon is asking from your team
How I map Call Types to hero roles
When I’m planning a dispatch, I start with the call icon. That icon is a promise: the mission will punish one kind of weakness more than the others. If I treat all calls the same, I end up with a “decent at everything” team that still fails on a single hard gate.
The fastest way I’ve found to stay consistent is to match the primary stat first, then fill the rest with coverage. Combat-heavy calls want reliable ⚔️ pressure. Rescue calls lean on 💪 endurance. Investigation calls tend to reward 🧠 problem solving. Social calls want 💬 steady influence. Mobility calls ask for 🏃 speed. Complex calls (⚡) usually punish gaps, so I care more about balance and fewer dead stats.
One extra trick: I don’t treat this like a rigid class system. A hero can still win outside their “best fit” if their numbers line up. I just use the call categories as a shortcut so I don’t waste time second-guessing.
Combat Call
Direct confrontations where damage output and survival tools matter most.
Primary: ⚔️ Combat
Rescue Call
Save people under pressure—endurance and quick movement win these missions.
Primary: 💪 Vigor
Investigation Call
Clues, systems, and logic—intellect-heavy missions that reward planning.
Primary: 🧠 Intellect
Social Call
Negotiation and PR—high charisma and smart support keep outcomes stable.
Primary: 💬 Charisma
Mobility Call
Urgent response missions where speed and agility are the core.
Primary: 🏃 Mobility
Complex Call
Multi-skill scenarios that punish gaps—balanced coverage is the goal.
Primary: ⚔️ Combat
How mission success works (the plain-English version)
I think of missions as a set of gates. Each gate is a stat requirement. Your team has a combined stat total, and the game checks whether you’re meeting the important thresholds. If you’re far under the gates, you’re gambling. If you’re meeting the main gates cleanly, your run becomes stable.
I also avoid the trap of chasing a perfect team every time. I’d rather build a “good enough” team that reliably clears the biggest gate, then improve it over time. That keeps the story moving and saves my mental energy for the moments that actually matter.
My rule: solve the hardest requirement first, then optimize. If you optimize before you solve, you get a fancy team that still fails.
If you want a quick outside reference on how “missions” are used across games and narrative systems, the general framing on Wikipedia is fine: Mission (game). It won’t teach Dispatch specifics, but it explains why missions often have “one stat that matters most.”
Difficulty levels: what I change as the label climbs
I treat difficulty as a planning signal, not a brag. A harder label usually means you can’t “patch” your way through with random picks. You need either a strong primary stat, stronger coverage, or both.
| Tier | How I approach it | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | I experiment, learn patterns, and keep the pace. | Over-building a team and wasting time. |
| Normal | I cover the primary stat and avoid obvious gaps. | Ignoring the “secondary” stat that sneaks up. |
| Medium | I reduce risk: fewer zeros, fewer weak links. | Assuming one strong hero can carry everything. |
| Hard | I plan around the strictest gate and lock roles. | Chasing totals instead of clearing the gate. |
| Very Hard / Extreme | I treat it like a checklist: meet gates, then polish. | Bringing a “favorite” hero that doesn’t match. |
Missions browser: filter fast, plan smarter
I built the browser to answer one question: “What does this mission actually require?” I don’t want to read a long explanation when I’m making a quick pick. I want the gates, the episode, and the team size. That’s it.
If you’re new to this page, try this quick loop: pick an episode, click a call icon tab, then type a keyword from the mission name you remember. You’ll get a short list and you can compare gates without scrolling forever.

Quick tips that save missions
- Pick the primary stat first, then patch gaps with the next hero.
- Watch Mobility on time-sensitive calls (it’s easy to forget 🏃).
- Don’t overreact to one failure; fix the weakest stat, not everything.
- Use episode filters so you plan with the heroes you actually have.
- Keep notes on missions that spike two stats at once (⚡ patterns).
FAQ
Why do some missions show “no stat gates”?
Some missions are story, hacking, or special-case sequences that don’t behave like normal stat checks. I still keep them in the browser so you can find them by episode and name.
Is “Complex Call” always harder than the others?
Not always. “Complex” is a signal that the mission cares about coverage, not that it’s automatically the highest tier. I’ve seen easy complex missions that are more about team size than raw gates.
What’s the fastest way to pick between two heroes?
I start with the call type. If it’s clear, I pick the hero who wins the primary stat. If it’s unclear or mixed, I pick the hero with fewer weak spots and then validate the team on the calculator.
