Golem Dispatch - Complete Guide to Golem Units
What are Golem Units in Dispatch?
Golem units represent the heavy-hitter archetype in Dispatch's tactical roster. These heroes are characterized by exceptional Strength stats (8-10), high durability, and abilities that amplify their combat effectiveness. While slower than Speed-focused heroes, Golems excel in absorbing damage and dealing devastating blows in combat missions.
💡 Quick Tip: Golem units are essential for high-difficulty combat missions where raw Strength is required. Pair them with Speed heroes for balanced team compositions.
Top Golem Heroes in Dispatch
🛡️ Titan - The Ultimate Tank
⚔️ Guardian - Balanced Golem
💪 Crusher - Offensive Golem
Optimal Golem Team Compositions
1. Tank + DPS Combo (Recommended)
Team: Titan (Golem) + Shadow (Speed 9, Stealth 8)
Mission Types: Combat, Assault Operations
Strategy: Titan absorbs damage and controls enemy positioning while Shadow flanks and eliminates high-value targets. This is the classic tank-DPS archetype optimized for 2-hero combat missions.
2. Balanced Force (Multi-Objective)
Team: Guardian (Golem) + Oracle (Tech 8, Negotiation 8) + Detective (Investigation 10)
Mission Types: Complex missions requiring Combat + Investigation + Negotiation
Strategy: Guardian provides combat security while specialists handle technical and investigative objectives. Use this composition for missions with 3+ skill requirements.
3. Double Golem Formation (High-Risk Combat)
Team: Titan (Golem) + Crusher (Golem) + Blaze (Speed 7, Strength 8)
Mission Types: Extreme-difficulty combat missions
Strategy: Overwhelming force approach. Use only when mission requirements demand Strength 15+ total and collateral damage is acceptable. Not recommended for stealth or precision operations.
When NOT to Use Golem Units
- Stealth Missions: Golems typically have low Stealth stats (2-4). Deploying them on infiltration missions drastically increases detection risk.
- Tech/Hacking Operations: Most Golem units have Tech stats below 5, making them unsuitable for cyber operations or technical missions.
- Speed-Critical Missions: Pursuit or time-sensitive operations require Speed 8+. Golem units' low Speed stats (4-6) will reduce success rates significantly.
- Precision Operations: Missions requiring minimal collateral damage should avoid Golems with "Reckless" or similar flaws.
- Small Team Missions (1 hero): Solo missions benefit more from versatile heroes. Golems' specialization limits their effectiveness when deployed alone.
Golem Upgrade Strategy
Upgrading Golem units requires strategic stat allocation to maximize their tanking potential while minimizing weaknesses.
✅ Priority Upgrades
- Strength: Always max first (aim for 10/10)
- Speed: Upgrade to 6-7 for acceptable mobility
- Negotiation: For versatile Golems like Guardian, upgrade to 8+
⚠️ Avoid These Upgrades
- Stealth: Golem units will never be stealth-viable. Don't waste points.
- Tech: Unless critical for your roster, avoid investing in Tech for Golems
- Investigation: Specialist heroes handle this better. Focus on combat strengths.
