Gen 2 Heroes Guide

01. Overview & Quick Reference

Samuel, Pamela, and Franklin are the first new heroes added to Police Chief since the original lineup. All three are Legendary (quality 5) and form a complete class triangle — one Guard, one Biker, one Marksman — with three sharply distinct combat roles. They share a common acquisition model and progression path, but their skill kits are completely different.

Side-by-Side Quick Reference

Premium Stat Scaling

All three Gen 2 heroes scale at a premium 1.2× multiplier on Attack, HP, and overall Power — roughly 20% above a baseline hero of the same class, level, and star, before kit even enters the picture. That same 1.2× applies to their troop star-buffs, so the class-wide Attack/Defense bonuses you unlock by starring them up land about 20% stronger than most heroes give. Samuel goes one further with 1.2× DEF scaling as well — the only hero in the game with boosted Defense scaling. The progression systems (star costs, gear, curves) are identical to every other hero; only these per-hero multipliers differ.

02. Acquisition & Fragment Sources

None of these three appear in the standard Recruitment gacha pool — you won't roll them out of Legendary Recruitment. Each has a dedicated acquisition channel, and all three accept the Legendary Universal Hero Fragment as a substitute for their own hero fragment.

Star Costs at a Glance

Star ascension costs are the same as for all other heroes in the game.

03. Samuel — Hotshot

Full Name

Hotshot Samuel

Class

Guard (Tank)

Lore

Special Operations Firefighter

Combat Role

Damage-amp bruiser + self-sustain

Samuel is built around a single high-value mechanic: his ultimate applies a +Damage Taken debuff to the focus target, amplifying ALL damage that target takes (from any source) for 2 seconds. Pair him with high-burst allies and you get effective damage well above the raw skill numbers suggest. He's also unusually durable AND fast for an offensive hero: 1.2× DEF scaling, the fastest attack speed of any hero in the game (1500), a once-per-battle 40%-max-HP self-heal, and an exclusive that turns that heal into a permanent attack snowball. On top of his own speed, his Blazing Ambition passive hands a portion of that attack-speed edge to the entire team.

04. Pamela — Paramedic

Full Name

Paramedic Pamela

Class

Biker (Cavalry)

Lore

Special Operations Medical Unit

Combat Role

Dedicated healer + utility CC

Pamela is the most strategically distinctive hero of the trio: she's the only true healer in the game. She has THREE active battle abilities (an AoE team heal ultimate, a smart single-target heal, and a stun nuke) where most heroes have just one active. Her exclusive amplifies ALL healing effectiveness by up to 70% — including her own.

Patrol Skills (Patrol/Arena)

Skill	Type	Effect	L1	L5
Emergency Treatment	Ultimate (cd 10s)	AoE heal: restores HP to ALL allied heroes = Attack × X	200%	280%
Critical Care	Active (cd 5s)	Smart heal: restores HP to the ally with LOWEST HP%	100%	140%

Formula Refinement	Patrol	All healing effects in the fight are amplified by X%	30%	70%
First Aid Training	Deploy	Garrison: stationed officers gain +Health	3%	15%

Both skills come from the Booster Shot, Pamela's exclusive gear. The patrol skill turns on at gear Lvl 1, the deploy skill at gear Lvl 2.

05. Franklin — Furious

Full Name

Furious Franklin

Class

Marksman (Ranged)

Lore

Ex-military Gatling specialist

Combat Role

AoE stun-control DPS

Franklin is the team's hard-CC carry. His ultimate is a 200-280% Attack AoE nuke with a 1.5-second AoE stun — the longest single piece of CC available in the game. Backed by a low-cooldown AoE active and a passive that adds bonus stuns periodically, he locks down enemy formations while dealing significant damage. His exclusive bolts a per-basic-attack heal onto his autos, making him a secondary trickle healer too.

Patrol Skills (Patrol/Arena)

Skill	Type	Effect	L1	L5
Suppressive Fire	Ultimate (cd 10s)	AoE damage + 1.5s AoE stun	DMG 200%	DMG 280%
Full Barrage	Active (cd 5s)	AoE damage burst	DMG 50%	DMG 70%
Concussive Round	Passive	Every X basic attacks, next attack stuns target for Y seconds	Every 8 attacks Stun 0.2s	Every 5 attacks Stun 0.5s

Deploy Skills (World Map Deployments Layer)

Skill	Effect (in-game wording)	L1	L5
Hail of Bullets	Friendly officers: 40% chance for +Penetration	10%	50%
Tactical Command	All officers: 40% chance to reduce enemy damage dealt	10%	50%
Grit and Steel	When officers attack: 50% chance to increase damage	10%	50%

Exclusive Equipment Skills

Skill	Type	Effect	L1	L5
Defensive Support	Patrol	Each basic attack restores HP to lowest-HP ally = Attack × X	5%	15%
Precision Tuning	Deploy	Rally Squad: +Penetration	5%	15%

Both skills come from the Fury, Franklin's exclusive gear. The patrol skill turns on at gear Lvl 1, the deploy skill at gear Lvl 2.

06. Stars, Gear & Progression

Stars (Same Path for All Three)

Star-ups cost the hero's own fragment OR the Legendary Universal Hero Fragment. Each star also adds class-specific Attack + Defense buffs to ALL troops of that hero's class — not just the hero personally. Because all three are premium 1.2× heroes, those class star-buffs land roughly 20% higher than a baseline hero of the same class would grant.

Exclusive Gear (Unlocks at ★1)

Each hero has a dedicated exclusive gear piece with 10 levels. Each level uses a hero-specific exclusive material (different from the hero fragment). Gear adds class Health + Penetration buffs and unlocks the two skills in each hero's Exclusive Equipment Skills table above.

Note: the Patrol-side exclusive skill ramps up two gear-levels ahead of the Deploy-side skill. So the battle skill (Samuel's Endless Spirit, Pamela's Formula Refinement, Franklin's Defensive Support) maxes earlier than the World Map Deployments skill.
