How to Use This Calculator — Romance Path Calculator Romance Path Calculator

Start with a fast scan, then go slow on the key beats. The Romance Path Calculator works best when you feed it true picks from a fresh run. Note Ep 3, Ep 4, Ep 5, and Ep 7 in a short line. That keeps the read clear and lets the tool show the real path you are on. I keep a short note in the same order so I do not miss a key step.

Use this tool at the end of each ep, not just at the end of a run. That pace keeps the link from choice to end more clear. I also like to keep one calm test run where I pick the safe line each time. It helps me see how hard each path is. The Romance Path Calculator can then show how far I can flex in a real run.

You can use a light link map too. A short read on story routes can help you see why one beat locks the path. You do not need hard math. Just track what a pick opens, what it ends, and how much time it costs to fix a miss.

• Log fast: write Ep 3, Ep 4, Ep 5, Ep 7 in one line.
• Use a test run: try safe picks to learn the gate beats.
• Check each ep: update the tool after key talks.

Select Your Romance Target — Romance Path Calculator Romance Path Calculator

Pick the target who fits your play mood, not just raw stats. A calm, kind route fits Blazer. A sharp, tense route fits Invisigal. A dark redemp arc fits Malevola. A deep heal path fits Phenomenan. Each target has a pace and a set of key beats. I like to choose the path that matches how I want the story to feel in the last two eps.

When you pick a target, you also pick a risk load. Some paths need exact beats in Ep 5 or Ep 7. Other paths let you miss one or two steps and still reach a fair end. This is why the tool asks for each beat, not just a yes or no on romance. It maps the full chain so you can see the real risk on your lane.

Use the target pick as a plan. If you want a fast, safe run, pick the lane with few hard gates. If you want a rich arc, pick the lane with a hard Ep 7 test. In both cases, aim for a clear lock in Ep 4. That lock is the core of the romance flow in Dispatch.

I also set a small rule for my run: one bold line per ep, then one safe line. This keeps the bond real but guards the route from a hard fail. The tool can show if that mix keeps you on track or if you need a calmer plan.

• Pick a tone: soft, tense, dark, or heal.
• Pick a risk: low gate or high gate path.
• Lock by Ep 4: keep the path firm.

Check Off Completed Milestones

Mark each beat as you clear it. This step keeps your mind clear and stops soft drift in the route. Many runs fail not due to a hard pick, but due to a small miss in Ep 5 or Ep 7. When you log each beat, the tool can flag what is still open, so you can plan the next talk with care. It also helps you avoid a false sense of safe play.

I like to log the core beats first, then the extra beats if I have time. A core beat is one that locks or proves the bond. An extra beat adds tone and trust but may not be vital. If you miss a core beat, you need to fix the path fast. If you miss an extra beat, you can still hold a fair end. This split makes the tool feel simple, even in a long run.

Use the notes in the tool as a short guide, not as a script. I read each note once, then play as I want. The list is there to remind me of the key gate beats. It is not meant to kill role play. That mix of guide and gut keeps the run fun and keeps the bond on pace.

If you feel lost, reset and re-log the last two eps. The act of re-log helps you spot the line you missed. It also gives you a clean list for the next run. The tool is a log book; it is not a judge.

Track Your Progress

The progress bar is a guide, not a rule. I read it as a pace note. A bar near the top means you have most beats done, yet a key gate can still be open. I pair the bar with the list of core beats. This keeps me from a false read and makes it clear what needs work next.

Use trust points as a second read. Trust is the bond glue. A high trust read means you can take one bold line and still stay on lane. A low trust read means you should play calm and soft for a few beats. The tool shows trust by ep, so you can see where the bond dips and where it rises.

I track three cues at once: progress, trust, and lock-in. If all three are high, I relax and play for joy. If one is low, I go back to safe lines and close the gap. This tri read makes the tool feel like a coach, not a score card.

A small table helps me keep this read clean. I use it as a quick scan on each ep so I know what to focus on next. It is a short way to turn a long list into a few calm cues.

“The bar read told me I had one key beat left. I nailed it.”

Choose Your Romance Target

Each target has a clear feel and a clear cost. I pick based on mood, not just on raw win rate. This tool makes the mood clear in advance, so you can plan the run you want. The next sections map each target with the same calm lens: key beats, risk load, and the tone of the end.

I also ask one hard ask: do I want a warm, safe ride or a bold, tense ride? That answer cuts the list fast. If I want calm, I lean Blazer. If I want sharp, I lean Invisigal. If I want dark growth, I lean Malevola. If I want deep heal, I lean Phenomenan. The tool can then show where each lane may break.

Blonde Blazer

Blonde Blazer is the warm, clear lane. The bond grows in small, steady beats. The key is to keep your tone kind and firm. Ep 4 is the lock. If you pick dinner, the path stays live. Ep 7 is the proof beat, where her rescue run shows both heart and skill. That combo gives a clean, warm end that feels earned.

The risk load is low, but the pace still matters. If you skip the bar talk or play cold in team talks, the bond can dip and your end tier drops. This path also feels best when you avoid love heat with other leads. I keep my lines calm and my tone clear, and the route stays smooth.

I like this lane for first runs. It has clear gates, warm pay, and a solid team feel. The tool helps me spot the only two hard gates: the Ep 4 lock and the Ep 7 rescue beat. Clear those and you can play with style in the rest of the run.

Invisigal

Invisigal is the sharp, tense lane. It gives rich drama and a high lift in Ep 7, yet the gates are strict. The Ep 5 bar scene is the hard check, and the Ep 7 confess is the real test. If you stay calm and kind, the bond deepens and the end feels strong and full.

This path has a high fail rate if you rush. I slow down on her key talks and avoid harsh blame lines. The tool helps by flagging those beats in red so I do not drift. If you keep a soft tone, the end tier can hit S. If you reject in Ep 7, the path ends right there.

I save this lane for a run where I want a raw, deep arc. It is hard, yet the pay is real. The tool helps me track the trust line, so I can see if I am safe to take a bold line or if I should keep it calm.

Malevola

Malevola is a dark redemp lane. It asks you to trust her when the team doubts her. The lock in Ep 4 is a hard gate, and the Ep 6 trap plan is a true trust test. If you back her plan and stand with her in Ep 7, the arc feels bold and rare, with a strong A-tier end.

This path can fail if you try to turn her into a plain hero. The bond works best when you accept her sharp edge. I keep my lines firm, honest, and free of shame. The tool helps by flagging the key trust beats so I do not drift into mixed tone.

I use this lane when I want risk and depth. The run feels less safe, yet the pay is rich. Keep a close eye on Ep 6 and Ep 7, since those are the points that most runs drop. A calm log helps you hold the lane.

Phenomenan

Phenomenan is a deep heal lane. It asks you to hold a whole self, not fix him. The first gate is the Ep 3 pick over Waterboy. The next gate is the Ep 4 lock. After that, the trust beats in Ep 6 and the self test in Ep 7 decide the end tier. If you stay soft and true, the S-tier end feels very strong.

This lane is hard and slow. The tone must stay kind, with no harsh push to change him. I keep my lines calm and use the tool to flag the key beats. The lane can still drop if you miss the Ep 7 self test beat, so I slow down and read each line twice.

I pick this lane when I want a deep arc and a hard, full end. It is not a fast run, yet the pay is rich if you stick to the pace. The tool helps me keep that pace, since each beat must be right to hold the lane.

Choose a Character to Begin

Start with a clear goal and a calm pace. Ask what kind of end you want, then pick the lane that fits. A warm end fits Blazer. A tense end fits Invisigal. A dark redemp end fits Malevola. A deep heal end fits Phenomenan. Once you pick, lock it in Ep 4 and keep the tone true to that lane.

I also set a small plan before I start. I write three key beats I will not miss, then I play. This keeps the run from drift and cuts stress. The tool acts as a log for that plan, so I can see at a glance if I am still on the same path.

If you have low time, pick a lane with fewer hard gates. If you want a rich arc, pick a lane with a hard Ep 7 test. Both are fine, but the pace must match the lane. The tool helps you keep that pace with a clear check list.

• Set a goal: warm, tense, dark, or heal.
• Lock by Ep 4: do not delay the key gate.
• Track Ep 7: the end tier often turns here.
