What is Golem's best ability in Dispatch?

Spread Thin is Golem's strongest ability, allowing him to expand into empty slots and increase his stats by 25% per slot, up to 200% when paired with just one other hero. This makes him incredibly versatile for 2-hero missions.

How should I build Golem's stats?

Focus on Vigor and Charisma/Intellect first. His synergy partner Invisigal provides Combat and Mobility bonuses, so you can safely allocate points elsewhere. Use Found Himself to redistribute stats once per shift for maximum flexibility.

Who is Golem's best teammate?

Invisigal is Golem's synergy team-up partner. She provides Combat and Mobility stats that Golem lacks, while Golem's +2 stat boost makes her even stronger. This duo excels at 2-slot missions with Spread Thin active.

When should I use Found Himself vs Spread Thin?

Use Spread Thin as your primary power for versatile support and 2-hero missions. Found Himself is better when you need frequent stat reallocation to adapt to changing mission requirements throughout a shift.

Who is Golem?

Golem is a sentient construct made of mud, dirt, clay, and rocks in Dispatch. Despite being a towering mud giant, he's surprisingly peaceful and enjoys poetry and basketball. As a Tank/Defender role, Golem specializes in durability and support, making him invaluable for missions requiring resilience and versatility.

🌟 Unique Trait: Golem can redistribute all his stats once per shift (Found Himself ability) or expand his stats based on empty mission slots (Spread Thin), making him one of the most adaptable heroes in the game.

Golem's Starting Stats & Role

Base Stats Focus

Primary: Strength, Investigation, Speed
Description: Tough and strong but not very bright
Role: Tank/Defender with support capabilities

Special Traits

🔥 Fire Resistance

Golem's body shows no visual damage from flames, making him ideal for fire-related missions.

🔄 Stat Flexibility

Unique ability to modify stats based on mission slots or completely reset and redistribute skill points mid-shift.

Golem's Abilities Breakdown

⭐ Spread Thin (Recommended)

Effect: Golem expands to fill each empty slot, increasing his stats by +25% per empty slot, up to +200% when beneficial.

Best Use Case: Pair Golem with only ONE other hero in missions with 3+ slots to maximize stat scaling.

Pro Strategy:

In a 4-slot mission with Golem + Invisigal, Golem fills 3 empty slots = +75% to ALL stats. This turns him into an absolute powerhouse while Invisigal provides complementary abilities.

🔄 Found Himself

Effect: Once per shift, completely reset all of Golem's stats within the Hero Database, allowing for full redistribution.

Best Use Case: When you need to adapt Golem's build for dramatically different mission types throughout a single shift.

Situational Example:

Start shift with high Combat/Vigor for early combat missions, then use Found Himself to reallocate into Charisma/Intellect for late-shift diplomatic calls.

🎯 Starting Power: Stat Support

Effect: Makes other heroes paired with Golem stronger on calls with 2+ slots by providing +2 to certain stats.

⚠️ Drawback: Chance of disadvantage by taking -1 away from a stat.

Team Synergy:

Best utilized when pairing Golem with heroes who have one dominant stat (like Invisigal's Combat/Mobility). The +2 buff amplifies their strengths significantly.

Optimal Golem Build Strategy

📊 Recommended Stat Priority

1. VigorHighest Priority

Max out first - essential for tank role and survivability.

2. Charisma / IntellectHigh Priority

Since Invisigal covers Combat/Mobility, invest here for versatility.

3. Combat / MobilityLow Priority

Invisigal synergy provides these. Only invest if running solo or with other partners.

⚙️ Power Choice Recommendation

Best Choice: Spread Thin

Maximizes effectiveness in 2-hero team compositions (Golem + 1 specialist)
Works automatically without manual activation required
Synergizes perfectly with the "pair with one other hero" strategy

Best Team Compositions

👥Golem + Invisigal (Synergy Duo)

Why It Works: Invisigal provides Combat and Mobility stats that Golem lacks

Golem's Role: Tank/support with Vigor and Charisma/Intellect focus

Invisigal's Role: Primary DPS and mobility specialist

Spread Thin Bonus: In 3+ slot missions, Golem gets massive stat boosts from empty slots

Synergy Rating: S-Tier (Official synergy team-up)

Golem Solo Flex Pick

When paired with non-synergy heroes, adjust Golem's role:

With Tech Specialist (e.g., Oracle): Golem handles physical tasks while specialist manages tech objectives
With Charisma Hero (e.g., Prism): Golem provides muscle and backup while charisma hero leads negotiations
Solo Missions: Use Found Himself to optimize stats for specific mission requirements

Mission Type Recommendations

Mission Type	Golem Rating	Notes
Fire-Related Calls	S-Tier	Fire resistance makes him perfect for putting out fires
2-Hero Missions	S-Tier	Spread Thin maximizes stats in multi-slot missions
Tank/Defender Needs	A-Tier	High Vigor build makes him durable for frontline roles
Situational Missions	B-Tier	Use Found Himself to adapt stats to mission requirements

Advanced Golem Strategies

💡 Slot Manipulation Strategy

For maximum Spread Thin effectiveness:

Look for missions with 3-4 slots
Send ONLY Golem + one specialized hero (ideally Invisigal)
Let Golem fill the empty slots with his expanded form
Result: Golem gets +50% to +100% all stats while maintaining team flexibility

🔄 Mid-Shift Adaptation

If using Found Himself:

Track upcoming mission types at shift start
Use Found Himself when mission requirements dramatically shift
Example: Combat-heavy early shift → Charisma/Intellect-heavy late shift
Only use once per shift, so time it for maximum impact

Common Golem Mistakes to Avoid

Overfilling mission slots: Spread Thin works best with EMPTY slots. Don't send 4 heroes to a 4-slot mission - send 2 and let Golem expand.
Ignoring synergy partner: Golem + Invisigal is the official synergy combo. Use it whenever possible for optimal performance.
Investing in Combat/Mobility with Invisigal: Let Invisigal handle these stats. Focus Golem on Vigor and Charisma/Intellect instead.
Wasting Found Himself early: If using this power, save it for when mission types drastically change mid-shift.
Sending to high-intelligence missions: Golem is "not very bright" - bring a specialist for complex intellectual tasks.
