Everything you need to know to start managing your superhero team
Multiple emergencies occur simultaneously across the city. Each has different threat levels, skill requirements, and time constraints.
Choose which reformed supervillains to send. Consider their abilities, flaws, current status, and relationships with each other.
Deal with the results - successful missions improve reputation, while failures cause relationship damage and hero injuries.
Physical power for combat, rescues, and breaking through obstacles.
Technical expertise for hacking, disabling devices, and cyber operations.
Movement speed for time-critical missions and rapid response.
Negotiation and persuasion for hostage situations and diplomacy.
Requires high Strength and Speed. Fire resistance abilities provide major bonuses.
Needs Tech and Speed. Perfect for heroes with hacking or super speed abilities.
Demands Charisma and patience. Avoid heroes with reckless or impulsive flaws.
Varied requirements. Check specific skill needs and recommended hero count.
Focus on Threat Level 1-3 emergencies. Deploy single heroes that perfectly match the required skills. Avoid team missions until you understand relationship dynamics.
Experiment with 2-hero teams on medium difficulty missions. Use our Team Synergy Analyzer to check compatibility before deploying. Avoid pairing heroes with conflicting flaws.
Monitor hero energy and morale. Don't deploy exhausted or injured heroes unless absolutely necessary. Invest skill points wisely - focus on filling attribute gaps for your most-used heroes.
Deploying a "reckless" hero to a hostage situation or a "coward" to a high-threat emergency will drastically reduce success rates. Always check flaw effects.
Heroes with negative relationships (-50 or worse) will have massive success penalties and risk relationship breakdown. Use the Synergy Analyzer first.
Sending exhausted heroes (energy < 40%) causes -25% success penalty and 30% increased injury risk. Always let heroes rest between missions.
Don't deploy based on intuition alone. Use the Right-Call Simulator to calculate exact success rates and identify hidden risks before committing.
Prioritize Ability Synergy
Pair complementary abilities (e.g., Hacking + Electrical Manipulation) for 15%+ success bonuses.
Build Balanced Roster
Maintain heroes in each category: Tanks (Strength), Tech (Tech), Support (Charisma/Speed).
Upgrade Strategically
Use the Upgrade Path Planner to identify highest ROI upgrades. Fill attribute gaps before unlocking new abilities.
Manage Relationships
Successful team missions improve relationships (+5 to +10). Use this to convert enemies into allies.
Accept Calculated Risks
60-70% success rate missions with low collateral damage risk are often worth taking for the rewards.
Study Emergency Tags
Abilities matching emergency tags (e.g., Fire Resistance for fire emergencies) provide huge bonuses.
