Latch¶
🔑 Latch (the "Key Holder") is a Tier 3 rescue class with a game-changing trick: a key that frees a teammate instantly, with no puzzle to solve. Also a strong hauler with Carry 5.

Ability — UseKey (active)¶
Latch starts each level with 1 key. Spend it to instantly rescue a captured teammate — skipping the puzzle entirely — or to unlock a special room. It's the fastest possible save when a rescue can't wait.
Class Mastery: keys per level scale 1 → 2 → 3, so a maxed Latch can make several instant saves per round.
How to unlock¶
- Tier: 3 (Elite) — after 1500 items + 100 rescues (see Tier Unlocks).
- Price: 500 Focus Shards + 50 Rescue Tokens + 40 Daily Coins.
Playstyle¶
Latch is the clutch rescuer. Its key bypasses the one thing that makes rescues risky — the time spent solving a puzzle in the open. Hold your key for the moment a teammate is captured deep in danger, or when the round is on the line during the return rush. Between saves, its Carry 5 means it doubles as a hauler.
