Dispatch is evolving with each episode. It becomes definitely harder. Now, the hacking minigame is on the different level. However, also the Dispatch shifts are more challenging. Starting with Episode 5, you can be punished if you send heroes with too high skills… That’s right, they can be too skillful to do the job.

How to solve Refinery Explosion in Dispatch

Until now we all probably have thought that the better skill, the easier the test during a Dispatch mission would be. It is true, in general. However, Episode 5 introduced a new mechanic that makes it a little bit complicated.

Now, some missions (yes, there are more than one, Refinery Explosion is just the first) introduce dead zones. If your heroes’ skill reaches this point, the dispatch will be automatically failed. That makes them really tricky to solve.

We have prepared guides on Dispatch Episode 5 and Episode 6. Feel free to use it! Moreover, see our full guide with all episode and choices. Have fun.

In the case of Refinery Explosion, and most missions in the future episodes, it is Combat skill that can’t be too high. So, if you have some heroes with low Combat, you should be mostly good.

As you can see, Refinery Explosion is a difficult test of Combat, Vigor and Mobility. It is also quite heavy on Intelligence. I have used Waterboy (I have not increased his Combat skill at all) and Golem, as in my case this character is fairly balanced when it comes to Combat and Vigor (with the focus on Vigor). The rest team members I have checked were no good, as sending the would be equal with reaching the Combat threshold… or they were simply quite inexperienced with the tested skills.

At this point of the game, we all have different builds, so I can’t give you a straightforward answer who to pick. You have to look into your roster and search for the best combination to fulfill requirements, and be lucky. However, there is also good news. Some missions have zones that will give you extra XP if you reach them. So, it works both ways.
