Dispatch 101

[proven comet]

Terri here to bring you the facts on all you need to know about dispatch.

First things first, **what is dispatch? **
Dispatch is a feature commanders unlock at level 16, and allows you to send dolls on longer missions. Don't worry, they stay usable for combat while they are dispatched. Up to 5 dispatches can be active at a time and take 2 dolls each.

"But Terri, I can't select my dolls to be dispatched!"
This is because you must qualify your dolls first. Each dolls has 3 minor requirements to be qualified for dispatch. In the dispatch assessment tab you can see which requirements those are but in general they involve giving them a gift, leveling them, and bringing them on one mission successfully.

Each doll brings with them one of the following traits:

• Courage
• Creativity
• Eloquence
• Friendliness
• Resourcefulness
  Take note of these because the dispatches have requirements on these types of traits and give** bonuses** if you put them on these missions:

Frontline Support
Emergency Negotiation
Relics Exploration
Supply Transport
Crisis Assessment

There are 5 other Dispatches you'll unlock those later when you're further into the game, but those are out of the scope of this beginner's guide. (and I have no info on them, I might add them later if there's demand for it)

But why are you doing all this? Well for two reasons:

• The dispatch store, like mentioned before dolls sent on dispatches with the right traits give bonuses, that bonus is extra dispatch store currency. (dispatch records) In this store you can use these dispatch records to buy various upgrade materials, gifts for affinity and a single standard banner access permission, which refresh each week.
  Remember to check this store if you are ever short on materials and intelligence puzzles, it might just be a life saver.
• Mystery box currency, which can be used for the mystery box gacha, which is limited to 100 pulls a week.
  Notable things in this box include various upgrade materials, a few standard quality weapons (purple), and a slight chance to get a copy of Peritya, the elite doll!

I have to note that there is an option to convert upgrade materials to mystery box currency, but in general I don't advice you doing that unless you have a super big excess.

any suggestions on what's the most efficient items to purchase here once the access permission is bought?

[proven comet]

Purely depends on your needs. I myself found myself short on gold as its limited to 2 farming runs a day

But it's also very reasonable to buy other parts such as the gift boxes if you want to raise bond with specific dolls or the stock boosters

In general you'll have enough combat reports and analysis blueprints to last, unless you raise all your dolls

[severe bramble]

will this shop expand soon (china) or this is all we will get in it?

[proven comet]

Sadly it hasn't expanded in cn yet, might still happen in the future though

[tribal furnace]

Is there any gift box guide to target specific characters?
I think it would be efficient to first use excess currency to level up dispatch

[proven comet]

Maybe i could set up a spreadsheet for that, when i have time

[late gale]

I saw one in one of the other threads #1314884556758974464 message

TY!

Need the 102,

I assume some of the dispatch is not worth it, like the Neural Helix material, since the conversion to the next tier is horrible at 3:1

God knows how many stamina you waste on converting them.
And someone should save the lambs from going that path.

[proven comet]

as far as i know the only dispatch that gives those materials is only the crisis assessment, the last one on the first page, which gives 10x the second tier.
there's also the supply transport mission which gives 3x second tier basic gifts (high-capacity memory sticks) which isn't really worth it in the short term but is quite handy on the long term.

maybe early it's worth to go for the helix, but later on it's probably not worth it anymore as you unlock higher farming stages

[proven comet]

also update:
I have unlocked two more stages so here's additional info.

• Frontline Support , Analysis Blueprints ×4000 (gun level material)

• Emergency Negotiation , Combat Reports ×4000 (doll level material)

• Relics Exploration , Sardis Gold ×4000

• Supply Transport , High-Capacity Memory Sticks ×3 (general affinity item, purple tier)

• Crisis Assessment , Transcription Conductors II ×10 (neural helix material, green tier)

• Impromptu Performance , Sardis Gold ×4000

• Gang Sweep , Combat Reports ×4000 (doll level material)

Does anyone know what dispatch level you'll have to be at to clear out the shop weekly?

[elder stream]

8 is enough so far to clear all the items

[hallow thorn]

Thank you!

[sharp onyx]

Does Dispatch Buff apply only to Dolls being dispatched or everyone?

[proven comet]

Should be everyone, though i must say i haven't tested this

[real plover]

@proven comet Question, does the affinity from Dolls that have not been assessed (Have not undergone Dispatch Assessment) count towards Dispatch level?

[proven comet]

dolls start with dispatch power 0, only after raising affinity do they start contributing power. Honestly I've not checked if they contribute anything before assessment, so far I've always assessed my dolls pretty much the moment i get them, but with the next one i get I'll double check for you

[proven comet]

just double checked, yes it does

[real plover]

Thanks, that's very interesting from a technical standpoint.
