Lobotomy Corporation - All Abnormalities Tier-List! 

You make a fair point with that! While it is easy to keep contained, it's also very easy to accidentally let out, in my experience at least. Specifically on the Binah suppression, when she does her mass meltdown, someone has to go in and take care of Blue Star, and almost always the high level employees would be suppressing her or other escapees, leaving some poor employee to be fed to it to at least remove her counter. Plus, should you have it paired with someone like Nameless Fetus or Army in Black, that's just even more fuel to the fire of an already painful day. Although I definitely agree, Blue Star itself is not hard at all to keep contained, the requirements are pretty lenient, and you have multiple failures before he will actually breach. But man is that escape something else... Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

Hehe Hod Supression go brrr

@@jacknoir4289 You can say that about Red Shoes that is.

Literally the exact thing I did haha. At least you were smart and did it all at once, my genius intellect compelled me to restart after **every** death... Needless to say that was a pretty long-winded way of finding out the Abnormality just killed employees for literally no gain other than a bit of energy. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

@@DualBlades Imagine if we got one of those head blow-dryers, but it was We Can Change Anything, so it just... you know... Iron maidens your face. Lmao

Btw if you have The dev armor the dude with it in Everything will be alirght will be forever stuck there but for that sure 100000 pebox since that would be fair/

I got Everything Will Be Alright as my very first abno in a run once. I literally had to sac all my employees to meet that first qota

Very true, I remember one of my poor employees walking into the Central Command Department and instantly losing their mind because not only was CENSORED in there with two minions, but it was also in the midst of finishing off a third employee... needless to say, things can get out of hand if you aren’t quick to suppress. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

@@DualBlades a single minion with cencored deals 100% of the agents sp and makes them panic instantly. if not stoped before 1 is eaten its close to over

wrong, a lv5 employee(lv4 would go insane from just cencored) will lose 60% SP on seeing cencored, and a minion does 30%, so 2 minions required(source, the wiki)@@jeffery_barron64

I could see how that would be a cause to put it into the helpful category for sure. Unfortunately, while I was doing my let's play on here, the gift that it offered was clashing with another gift in the same slot (though thinking about it now I can't actually remember who's gift it was), and so none of my employees except for one actually ever got it haha. I definitely think that the stat boost is worthwhile, and totally think had I done that myself my opinions of The Snow Queen would have been more similar to yours. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

Wait it can be stacked?

@@Juan-wy3qj It can't. OP meant that, since the gift gives 6 points to two stats, and two workers get it at a time(the frozen "princess" and the "Hero" both get it), it gives 24 points in total, 12 across two workers.

@@Late0NightPC however it also makes the second employee stay there until the day is over they are just afk

@@Herib104wat? You never tried rescuing them?

Oh shit, that's a whole lot better than I had thought it was. I had thought that Heart of Aspiration was another one that'd kill you if you wore it for too long, but that's clearly not the case. Thanks for pointing that out! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

I hope you have a good day too dude.

i probably have like 6 hours of time used on aspiration because you just slap it on and forget about it, its so nice lol

It also doesn't melt down for as long as you have it. So there is never a reason to return it. xD

doesn't it kills you after a while if you don't supress anything? just like the other one with sp

I can't count how many times she gave me exactly 15 PE. And yet, whether early or late game I'd prefer her to most others - nothing beats a (sometimes) friendly wipeout beam. Still regret the one day I accidentally mem-repoed her.

She requires a whole new way to manage your abnormalities by having you start work with her, and once you get her to 16+ boxes, you intentionally set off the meltdown, so when she goes down from hysteria she will immediately get back up since you already succeeded her work check. And I feel this is intentional as I have yet to notice any other abnormality that has a really lengthy work finish animation with the kiss blow.

As someone with a QOH pfp on every social media platform on, I can confirm this.

I can definitely see Hell Train higher on the list, since you're absolutely right, the mental strain and constant attention you're almost forced to pay it starts to add up the longer you go. Especially if you're unlucky enough to get it early on in a fresh save, where you have no protection against the black damage and the amount of small things piling up makes the tasks feel impossible. All it takes is one slip of the mind and you've suddenly lost an entire department after all. It's quite unforgiving with its rampage. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

I dont find train dangerous just bc im ALWAY trying to know where pepole are irl by sound or just straight up imaginating the speed the person walk so im just aware about anything but i do understand otherwise

Funny enough, I was told that during my let’s play here on RU-vid, and for the life of me I could not figure out how to get it down haha. I would always time it so far off that I’d screw myself over and cause a suppression that led to a day reset. The easiest way of handling it in my opinion was given to me by someone watching as well funny enough. Basically you just go through with execution bullets before working and take out a few clerks, then you work like normal and she doesn’t escape since they count as deaths for her total. That was my easiest option anyways, I can definitely see that working for people better at the timing than myself haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely of your day!

​@@DualBladeswelp tbh your strat is better overall has Mountain of smiling body is a aleph that is as dangerous as a waw or even an he like its so god damm easy to supress then there big bird that just wow such great design can escape easy but you can up the counter those 2 have dheath in play but since exécution bullet are the best in the game you mostly use them so why not abuse them

If there’s one thing about Blue Star I’ll never get sick of, it’s watching the hoard of Clerks floating across the screen into it haha. Definitely one of the cooler Death Animations the game has, aside from maybe Knight of Despair. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

@@DualBlades hmmm kinght of despair but im kinda scared to fight since it does good P damage and im dont like it im dont love 1 of my dudes getting half of hp and then dies im .... kinda wanna secure Kinght more then the Queen of Hatred why? since Queen of Hatred have to charge its attack Unlike Kinght its giving more time to damage Queen of Hatred on its back whale its damaging...Nothing! its kinda funny but kinght again im Scared to fight so im have an op dude aginst that bitch he is very holy op XXX at all stats how?M O D S im only have one but after knowing one console command im have A LOT OF XXX DUDES EVEN OP ONES WITH OP MODS WEAPONS AND ETC

Yea, but what about abnos that activate their ability on deaths?

@@ReflectedOcean Idk They are Dangerus but if you saw im have mods on the game so im should be fine with having No damage (kinda nothink there,Whilth Night are kinda deadly)

Best part of Blue Star is if they breach, then Mountain of Smiling Bodies is harmless when they Breach in 5 seconds. (My current run has both. Biggest difficulty I was having was Queen of Hatred getting out until I figured out that they are one of the few ABNOs that recognize Exe Bullets. Until about my last Mem Repo, I also had to deal with Silent Orchestra and Little Red Riding Merc while farming Orchestra's E.G.O. so Mountain and Army in Black got out all the time)

I'd forgotten about that haha, I think that might be because I never really had a problem keeping the employees sanity though. I would typically throw it onto someone with very good gear (either the Paradise Lost or Twilight set, sometimes even Blue Star's suit and Censored's weapon combo) so they wouldn't ever really be in danger of losing all of their sanity. Paired with the blessing from Knight of Despair, the downside becomes almost nonexistent. Blue Star's ego is also pretty decent, but not enough for me to like the Abnormality any more haha. It's very slow, the range isn't the best, and the SP healing is pretty low at that, not enough to really rely on at least. These are just my opinions on it, I definitely feel like the suit is the better speaking point for Blue Star, the .4 resistances are huge, especially since most other ALEPH gear only has 1 with a .2 and the rest are .5 . Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

That's true! Honestly I just think that the item doesn't really offer any benefits that are worth potentially dying over. It's also annoying in the fact that it can cause deaths in employees if you end the day before the requirements are met. I had several poor souls lost to that little slip-up on several occasions. It is definitely entirely player based for the downside though, unfortunately for me I'm just not good at managing it haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely rest of your day!

That's true about the Tree, but I couldn't tell you how many times I got invested into something and lost count of how many times I'd worked, only to turn around and find my employees had been getting sucked in for blessings. Plus, on the final day if Parasite Tree is in your facility, you literally are physically unable to click them to stop the summon once the facility starts to move. I have no idea why, but I tested it out three times while playing on my own and lost employees to it every time. Quite a pain I must say. Meat Lantern I remember sucking, he would pop up right before an elevator and an employee would pop through before I could realize and just be melted by it haha. It is what it is, luckily it's not too high of a Danger Rating, so you don't **really** have to work with it, so it's easy to forget about and not have issue with. Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely rest of your day!

That’s the spirit! Honestly I’d recommend checking the game out too, although I’m heavily biased because I actually love the game (in case you couldn’t tell). Maybe you’ll enjoy it too! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

I think she definitely has her uses, but the paid suppression (from my experience at least) causes so much collateral damage it almost isn’t worth it. If you have any abnormalities tied to death from employees, they’re almost bound to get out with the amount of damage she does. Plus while she does handle some of the pretty well, a lot of the tougher abnormalities you would want suppressed can easily kill Red before she gets a chance to help, so overall she’s just a bit eh in my opinion. Definitely useful, but not overly helpful. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

im aggred with ya since whem it escapes it attacks the closes one to it so it can fight ANYBODY

she very much will escape if you have to do the abnormality suppression missions, or if you're farming a breach-prone abno like silent orchestra 😔 I kept having to force her to breach intermittently while farming him because I didn't want to contend with both of them at the same time.

​@@DualBlades Then again, you could Commision her to suppress something (i.e: Mountain of Smiling Bodies), then call the rabbits on both. If the Rabbits focus on the other Abno (Smile, in this case), the latter gets killed. The Rabbits also die to Little Red (collateral damage) so you also get their EGOs later. Though this would require a bunch of RNG (rabbits can hit Little Red) and may end poorly (Smile gets a ton of bodies).

​@@DualBladesred riding hood dosent need to be supressed if paid and dosent lose qliphot counter while being worked on or being paid to supress i even find it that if i would have wolf or red i would almost alway go for the other they are such a great combo together idk why its suposed to be bad if they are in the same facility then if your good at the game pg /WN bc he going to move them away from each other the game say its a bad idea but in my opinion its better whit both together

Yeah I definitely agree, the clerks were almost instantaneous, and any Employee in sub ALEPH gear would be absorbed in about a minute, which was never enough time to track down and kill the damn thing. Especially since you have to sift through all your employees and only send the non-white damaging ones. Just obnoxious and causes SO much heartache. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

@@DualBlades Funnily enough, I’ve had clerks survive Blue Star breaches and just go about their day. I think only one department lost all of their clerks lol

Really? Wow that is a pretty huge use for it. Grinding out something like Melting Love's gear with that method would make life so so SO much easier, so thanks for letting me know! I'll definitely have to give that a look here when I come back to the game. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

@@DualBlades you too, hope it helps!

Maybe I'm just very good at making sure I know where it is, but since Don't Touch Me is always immune to meltdowns (because interacting with it just ends the day), having it around is actually great for the endgame because it can eat meltdowns same as We Can Change Anything. Having less shit to worry about during the last 5 days is a godsend. Additionally, if you have WhiteNight in your facility for endgame, everything going to shit usually involves WN escaping and WN disables the main menu, meaning you can't restart (and have to wait for the 12th apostle to amble their way up to One Sin)- Hey, good news, pressing the button means you can start over right away! It's also a quick and easy way to let everything out for the Red Mist Battle Royale, though the shelter's obviously better at that.

I agree 100%. A *_lot_* of our trouble was solely from the fact that we had such a long way to enter and leave his area of effect. Either being forced to wait for him to leave, or what usually happened which was the employees run after him to get some damage in as they leave work, and I can't pull them fast enough from the records department before they get _MUNCHED_ into another realm. Curse you structural designers for making these corridors so dang long! But he's so unbelievably busted when he gets out :( . I mean the facility-wide clerk lossage is such a day-ender alone, if you have AiB, MoSB, QoH, etc, the clerk massacre can simply force your hand for a restart. I do agree though, for an ALEPH he's not hard to keep contained at all. In fact, you almost have to try and let him out, he's so forgiving and has a pretty solid meltdown counter. Plus the gear is good, that's worth mentioning. He's annoying, I entirely agree, but he's one of the few I almost never worried about escaping either. The few times he did we had a few panics when employees entered the room, but even then when we came to suppress they would typically be restored fairly quickly. The Fear damage really is his kicker though, and assured SP percentage just from coming into contact is annoying, to say the least. Especially if he happens to wander into the room as your trying to evade him, or it breaches just as they've finished working and are instantly thrown into a panic. I do agree, the fact that there's a special allotment of murder-tools at my disposal does make it almost fun to kiss goodbye to the trouble makers of the facility haha. Why??? Are 50 HP and SP healing **sometimes** not worth the murderous trail left by the train in the form of 100 Black damage? Too much Annabelle vibes, 0/10. Paradise Lost makes it worth it 100%. The extreme resistances are just too good to pass on, even at the expense of working with him every now and then to keep the counter up, which by the way only take a Good or Common to increase. Though a single lengthy distraction is all it takes for 12 guaranteed deaths and waves of breaches on top of that. Truly the scariest force to be reckoned with... I shiver at the thought. Thanks for commenting! Glad to be able to discuss the various points, again that really is my favorite part of these. Have a fantastic rest of your day!

La Luna is pretty cool, just in general not even including the EGO gear she has. I’m serious when I say, my favorite thing to do would be coming to the realization that all hell had broken loose, and then sending an employee to serenade the facility with a farewell tune before resetting the day haha. Well that and background music for fights, basically I used it for the memes and that’s about it. The PE boxes were very useful, especially in the later days, you need so many and she’s a very easy source of a fair amount for her level. All in all, definitely a cool abnormality! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

What?

​@artsyvids2563 the shelter is "march 27th" and anyone that goes in cannot die, so during the gebura suppression you throw an employee in there. The shelter also slowly releases all of the other abnos. So instead of the fight being your employees vs gebura, it's the abnos vs gebura.

@@psychtration2287 You can also use Don't touch me by clicking on its log button in containment to instantly unleash EVERY abnormality at once so you don't have to wait for shelter to kick in.

Wow I hadn’t considered that, I imagine going for Researcher’s Notes, along with some solid Temperance boosting EGO could ensure a success in there. Might be worth trying out on my own! I’ve got another facility right now just for fun, it’ll be fun to try it out! Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

@@DualBlades it still isn't a guaranteed counter increase but its still a good fail safe when you forget about queenie like I have a tendency to do heck I have a tendency to forget about borrowing heaven and having to not look at the bloody eye in a box sometimes

I could not tell you how many times I let that left for work assignment and all of a sudden half my facility is on a pike in the hallway. Plus Parasite Tree, the game sure loves Abnormalities you have to constantly give attention to huh.

A lot of people use Theresia for QoH, but on my first run having the Note right before drawing QoH let me keep going with no breaches from her.

I’d agree, but honestly this list wasn’t for super accurate ratings to begin with, it was mainly done just for fun because I wanted to haha. I’d say if there was an all encompassing “standard” for rating them, it’d be with the mindset of “how much or how little do I want you in my facility in general”. I definitely agree that the changing factors between some abnormalities could have caused some skewed results, but then again if it’s in terms of how much or how little I want them around, I’d say it’s pretty spot on. In my opinion at least, at the end of the day that’s the great part about tier-list videos, you get to see everyone’s input on the same thing you did. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day! Hopefully I cleared up a bit of confusion and made the rankings more understandable and less weird haha.

For some of them it's extremely hard to get information on before they kill half of your employees. Others it's extremely easy to get information on, but practically impossible to stop.

Nothing fills me with more joy than reading an entire explanation on how to absolutely decimate one of my least favorite abnormalities. That sounds like an extremely easy way to handle it, though I was under the impression that the mark lasted even after they reentered, leaving most of my team out of the fray for the duration of the fight once they got marked. Though I also had a large issue with Big Bird always choosing to mark the employee in the process of meleeing him at close range and would get an insta-kill off on them, which was an immense pain. This does make me excited to get him again though, to try this out and see whether or not things are easier than they were haha. Thanks for commenting and providing the helpful steps for handling him! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

​@@DualBlades I had the same issue, where he always seemed to pick employees in melee range for his 'nom. Learned the hard way it is better to just rely on ranged-only workers to take him down. At least then you get a bit of time to micro them away. Considering he is WaW, and has fairly good stat training for everything but Repression, and his gift is really solid, he is one of my favorite ones to get. Really the only downside he has in my opinion is being part of the Clerk Lives Matter squad like Army in black or Monk, but you seem to really like AiB so that likely isn't much of a downside

I just got him and I'm still fairly early on and you saved so many of my employee's lives (and me many restarts) !

It becomes extremely difficult for people like myself who are extremely bad about getting sidetracked and distracted from things haha. Any of the constant attention abnormalities were cruxes for me, WhiteNight was (at first, I learned that lesson VERY quickly), Parasite Tree, Burrowing Heaven, they all seem to just be the one thing I cannot keep up with while playing that game haha. It does have a very easy tell when it's going to murder all your employees, and also when it's summoning, but for me at least it was more a matter of remembering to actually go to it and check the status after assigning works. Especially when I'd give out like 5-15 jobs for the employees to grind out energy. That's just my personal issue with it at least, and one of the main reasons I physically cannot stand to have it in my facilities anymore. It really is probably one of my most lethal abnormalities that I've had, and BlueStar literally wipes out entire departments. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

I think that my biggest issue with him (that likely skewed my rating but it is what is it) was the fact that I got him in the very end of the Architecture team my one and only time having it in my facility. All of my employees would run down the hallway to attack him, and by the time they got there they'd be enchanted and unable to leave. I'd then wait for him to come out, but just as he'd enter the new area he'd do his possession again, eating all my employees... it was quite the grueling time when it got out. I agree, most of my reasoning for Blue Star came from all the things that could let it out rather than actually doing it on your own. Binah's Meltdowns caused issue, Nameless Fetus caused issues, AiB caused issues (as much as I like the Abnormality, it still was annoying here and there haha). All of these things together would work against me in letting it out, and once it did there really wasn't much that could be done. Granted a lot of these were worst case scenarios, but things happen that you can't really account for. Unlike say Nothing There and Melting Love, Blue Star really has the capacity to wipe the entirety of a facility, rather than a department or two. Just my two cents. I really liked the Justice from 1.76, like a whole lot. I still think my personal favorite Justice Trainer was Der Freischutz, just because he's pretty easy to get early on, and has little to no requirements that can't be easily beaten. Overall just a very good Trainer, though I agree, very early into a new game I'd definitely go for 1.76 as early as I could just for the bit of extra preparedness for the long run. Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely rest of your day!

The other trick about Big Bird is that its possession fades when a marked employee leaves the department it’s in. Now, this makes them into a PATHETICALLY easy suppression since they have no other way to damage employees. Even during Hod’s suppression, which was on the day I got it, I noticed its pathetic inability to do harm to anything but clerks in an instant, when I panicked as one of my employees got marked and had them make a mad dash from Chesed’s area to Tiphereth’s department. Fighting him on the corner of two departments and diving between them when he tries to entrance anyone makes him impossibly easy to suppress, as he basically only becomes an HP sponge. The final managerial tip even tells you that his mark fades if its target leaves the area Big Bird is in. Sure, it’s gonna kill all the clerks of the department it broke out in, but beyond that, it can’t do much more damage alone. Key word being alone. Its ability to force you to drop everything else makes suppressing anything else into a massive pain. Big bird, on this scale, places as a major annoyance for me.

Since he mentioned it was in the *Architecture* team, you can't really leave the department which is a pretty big issue there iirc you cannot enter or exit the architecture team during day 46-50, whats inside stays inside and vice versa. Makes big bird a pain to be sure lol

@@lolwutman ah, that changes everything, then.

Well thanks for taking the time to watch it regardless haha. It's definitely one of my favorite games of all time, so if you're ever looking for a recommendation for something to play, this would be what I'd suggest! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

The SP hitting zero is the only true downside I'd say is worth mentioning in my opinion, since the less than 30 seconds would only be a consequence if it gave a negative affliction to the user, like the cross or the Heart of Aspiration, where you actually have to DO something before returning it. I never had any employees die while using it either, but I also almost always had it on someone with the Da Capo gear so it wasn't possible to meet that requirement anyways haha. Thanks for commenting! Very true about the downsides to it, but the benefits almost make the negatives completely negligible. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

nah man it actually heals you once when you pick it up and then does absolutely nothing afterwards aside from kill you.

Well first I’d like to say welcome to the fantastic universe that Project Moon has created! I think you’re in for a good time with the game (and the sequel too should you choose to play it)! I think I didn’t get the mirror until my second play-through, and I’m not going to tell you why it became less important because I am not sure how far in you are / what you do and don’t know, but at that point I’d already acquired something that made it trivialized. I can totally see it being a huge help though, especially on a brand new first save file. Some stats are just so hard to train, namely justice and temperance, so having the ability to grind up your fortitude to crazy levels and then swap it for Justice is insanely good. Late game I’m a little less on the Mirror train, but that’s only because by then all it takes for a stat to go up is heavy investment into training that employee with an abnormality for the day and you’re fine. Just my opinion though. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

also tbh, Nothing There is one of the easiest ALEPHS. It's difficult if you're like, new to the game/on a new save file, but I found once I had the gear it just, stopped giving me problems, even on the odd occasion that it DID escape (one I didn't even notice it'd breached until it was halfway dead because it was in an empty department and with my employee that had its gear and he was just, casually tanking all its damage. He took it out on his own with no trouble.)

Definitely. I remember the first time I did it and was actually pleasantly surprised at how easy it was (I'd made the decision to do WhiteNight before Apocalypse Bird and figured it'd be an end of the world scenario.) so I definitely think that compared to a lot of other things, it's simply not as bad. Also I totally agree with Nothing There for the most part, except for his evolved mega-fuck form. In which case, I would like no part and would rather reset the day haha. I've never actually beaten his second form, I've come close, but always end up getting destroyed by his sonic blast and mega slice. Not my favorite ALEPH to say the least. Good for gear and training, but don't let it escape... Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely rest of your day!

Well, yes and no. For me personally, Don’t Touch Me caused more resets than any of my other abnormalities at one point. Mostly because of the horrible combo of Plague Doctor’s switches, as well as the fact that I’d get thrown off by the appearance changes. Ultimately for me this is a do not take ever. Even if it is a minimal work abno, it always finds a way to cause me issue haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

@@DualBlades You too! Glad I stumbled onto your channel.

This is true, my biggest qualm with it is just the fact that you can have your employees lose the power to perform Attachment should you get the gift, which you almost always will slip up at least once when assigning someone to work it. Which then puts them at high risk of death for future assignments. The weapon is fine, Pale early on is always helpful, but it’s quickly out classes by a lot of other early game weapons in my opinion. Especially since it’s melee. That’s just my opinion though haha, I definitely see where you’re coming from. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

@@DualBladesthat can easily be fixed just by locking the hat slot for employees that you do wish to do attachment on other abnos for, as they won’t get the aura that way.

ayo?

@@brosthestickmandude knight of despair stunlocks me in a gooning state

It's true! Blue Star gives very good gear for your trouble, and the movement speed alone from the gift makes that worth getting as well. The big issue I have is just all the small things that can let it out, the ordeals can make it a hassle, the meltdowns as well depending on if you even have an employee available. It's all just adding to how annoying it is, and when it does finally breach it's a nightmare. Almost every clerk will die, so you lose the benefits of your departments, you're bound to lose any low level employees, especially those who might have weaknesses to white damage in their gear. Just very, very, VERY annoying haha. Thanks for commenting! I'm glad that my video is able to help out as you start to learn the ropes of the game! Have fun, and don't get too discouraged when things get hard, it's all part of the fun! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

Just nuke the scarecrow! (Launch ALL your employees onto him at once!)

I literally have HE equipment and I still fail miserably

It's actually kinda funny, I think that MoSB is one of the easier ALEPHs to actually suppress in general, even in its upper stages. I've never had any issues with his later stages, but that may just be a matter of gear and my approach to handling it. I think the best way to go about things is just to sick some high gear / level employees on him, divide the group in half, wait till the first group gets low and switch with group 2, repeat until it dies. That's my strategy at least. I definitely agree about it being annoying however. Nothing is more obnoxious than turning around and seeing the giant meatball barrelling down the hallway eating all my clerks... Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

​​@@DualBlades bro his vomit absolutely fucks my waw kill team up, even with black res, someone always gets instakilled even with max stats

His black AOE is probably worse than nothing there's AOE. He is considerably more dangerous without execution bullets. He can be tanked with knight of despair buff and censor weapon. You can also get blue star's gear before doing him.

I agree 100%. It seems like a lot of people who have watched dislike Pink Army for one reason or another, glad to see there's another sane person amongst the crowd haha. Easy ALEPH gear to grind, the soldiers aren't hard to suppress when the escape and don't really have an awful effect if they aren't suppressed to begin with. Overall just not so bad. Express to Hell is horrendous, probably one of my least favorite abnormalities since its only reason for existing is to force the attention of whoever is playing. Once is enough for me thanks, never again. Der Freischutz is great, though the team damage is slightly annoying if you forget it exists. Too many times I've sent my own team to their demise because I had one team member with the gun in the hallway blast everyone else to pieces haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Meat Lanturn is great if you have guns and really deadly if you don't. Good if you're late game run ending if you're early on.

i'd also personally contest blue star being in unstoppable just due to it's counter, i worked with it constantly in my playthrough and it didn't breach at all

That's what I've been told haha. I hadn't really used it THAT much while playing, solely because insta-kill items are typically a big no thanks when trying to decide what to equip. That being said, after what I've been told, it actually doesn't sound that bad. Helpful but useful for sure, so long as you follow the rules... Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

It's suuuuch an S tier tbh.

also if they attacked something with the heart of aspiration, the time limit gimmick never reactivates

Funny enough, I actually tried to use the Backwards Clock against her in my let's play, and could not for the life of me figure out how to use it for the cheese. I must've tried about 8 times, couldn't get it to actually work like it was supposed to. Unfortunate, but we got there in the end haha. On the other hand, I tried so many different ways to try and cheese WhiteNight. Like... SO MANY. Hell I even tried the Yin and Yang dragon to see if it's health wouldn't just evaporate. It did not. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Der freischutz is the counter. She can be worked on near day end, and the infection can be stalled with white work good results. If she pops off, rush the rest of the day. Otherwise, freischutz all the clerks.

I mean for me melting love is very easy to contain. I always put an agent by itself under an abnormality when learning about a new one so I can work with it quickly. Then once I figured out that it spreads I just executed every clerk in the department, as it hadn't spread very far due to that agent being in the hallyway and the only one in the department at the time (that part was just a bit of luck). After I got everything I wanted from her, I just always did repression work with her whenever there was a meltdown or I otherwise had to work with her so her gift didn't stick. And that was that, easy ALEPH.

Why thank you! Glad to hear that even those who don’t play the game find the tier list entertaining enough to sit through haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

It's an interesting choice you've been given for sure! My first question would definitely be what day are you on, and whether it's your first time playing the game. I think if I were in your position, and was starting a brand new file without any gear past HE, my choice would be Queen of Hatred. The reason I ask is because there really is a severe difficulty spike with Queen of Hatred if it's the first major breaching abnormality you see, which might make things difficult for you. Having good gear alleviates a lot of the pain, but even with a lot of my departments decked out in top tier gear, an escape from her led to a *LOT* of deaths, and almost always a reset. The Red Shoes are extremely easy to manage, they have a decent HE gear with them as well, and I wouldn't call it a cowards way out at all if you're just getting into things! Hell even if it's not your first time, Shoes are an easy choice for a easy progression forward. Parasite Tree is just annoying overall. I had a harder run of things with it just since it's pretty easy for me to get distracted by other things in this game, so it's counter slips my mind and next thing I know I've got a hoard of tree people wanting to know why I abandoned them... I have actually heard of that trick, and it's a whole lot harder to actually pull off than it sounds. At least that was the case when I tried it out, unless you're just about to finish, the work still gets the penalty applied midway through. You could be doing great and be halfway to perfect, change to the meltdown, and suddenly only receive bad results from then forward. I'd still say go for it though, might've just been a case of bad luck on my end haha. If you want my advice, if you've unlocked the execution bullets, the easiest thing to do is use a few of them to pick off some of the clerks between meltdowns, since they still count towards her death total! Super easy, made my life SO much easier when I was told about it. tldr: I wouldn't say it's a mistake at all. I think it's the best option if you really want to step into the pain that is Lobotomy (and also get a firsthand look into why she is my number one most hated abnormality). Gear from her is excellent, making a lot of lower level suppressions a joke, and also is an easy source of Pale damage early on! Best of luck on your facility! Hopefully it all works out for you, and thanks for asking! Glad I could share some (hopefully) helpful advice for you! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

@@DualBlades I believe it was day 13, Im not sure if i was insanely lucky, but i basically had 8 non breaching abs (plus 2 tools) The trick was indeed tricky, but in the end I figured out how to do it properly, having a 100 success rate V temperate dude helped a lot. Funnily enough the very next day i get to pick between Skin Prophecy, Flesh idol, and the Crazy Notes. The notes may have been buffed cause the wiki says it's now a +20 success rate, which would completely negate queenie's hysteria state. I find the image of both the interviewer and the interviewee going mad hilarious. I think im going to risk it and go against your tier list and pick the notes, if only for the memes.

@@DualBlades And yeah this is a fresh file, but i like going into a game being spoiled. So I'm probably slightly more knowledgeable about the mechanics than most noobie.

@@DualBlades yep, the notes did it, I don't need to do the trick anymore (i mean i probably should still, but eh). Put the notes right next to queenie too. I hope i did the SCP foundation proud today by using one scip to contain another.

@@willferrous8677 Good thing to know about the notes! I personally only barely touched on them because I didn’t find them to have much of an impact, but it’s good to know that the buff from them is actually very useful at time. Especially against the Queen, boy that would’ve been nice to have tried haha. I try not to go into games knowing anything, but usually I can’t help myself and will end up spoiling it before reaching the end because I can’t stand suspense and mystery, at least not when I can find out the resolution haha. A great service indeed, truly the spirit of an excellent manager! Utilize the pain to suppress the pain, just wait until you try the backwards clock. Truly the single best abnormality you can get hands down.

I'd agree with the elevators, but man those shields cannot tank nearly enough of what she throws at those poor employees. I remember using 6 shields in an attempt to get my employees from the hallway to another level to escape the blast, needless to say it did not work out haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

He doesn't actually instantly kill! According to the Wiki (and I just double checked in game) when an employee with level 3 or above finishes work it lowers his Qliphoth to zero and lets him out, but they don't die immediately. They can still leave and fight against him, but the stat only reduces the Qliphoth. I had completely forgotten about him doing that haha, thanks for reminding me! Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

That's a great question! So I would definitely say that between the two, An Arbiter is infinitely harder than The Red Mist. There are a couple main reasons for that, but just to set the mindset going in, The Red Mist is actually really easy if you've got the right stuff. I'll start off with The Red Mist. Overall I'd definitely say she's a pretty difficult encounter in the game, but at the same time, she's not nearly as hard as some of the other mini-bosses that you have to face. The main reason for this is definitely the point in your playthrough that you'd encounter her. Unlike An Arbiter, The Red Mist is fought relatively early in the game, being the (potentially) fifth Sephirah you encounter, and then the 5th meltdown you try and undertake. The main difficulty with her is the sheer amount of power she has in her attacks, ill-equipped employees suffer instantly and can be taken out in a swift 5 minutes into the day. I think what makes her so easy though is just the sheer amount of ways to cheese her fight. All it takes are two abnormalities for a guaranteed victory. Shelter From the 27th of March, and Blue Star. By sending in a single employee for the day of the meltdown, and making filler employees man the stations of the other departments, you can send the solo into the shelter, release Blue Star, and have dinner while it does all the work for you. That's what I did the first time I had the fight, and that was before even realizing that it was a strategy haha. That's just one of many too, basically, all it requires is some means of easily releasing a high damage, high durability abno, and you've basically got it all settled in the end. If we're going by this, I think I'd put her into the difficult but manageable tier. It's an annoying setup you either had to have known going in, or have gotten lucky by picking the correct abnormalities for, but it makes the fight a joke. However, if you go by the way it's intended to be, I'd definitely move her up to Really Hard. She packs a punch and completely obliterated my strongest employee in a single swing (I definitely recommend checking out the Gebura Suppression video, it's actually pretty funny), and her movement around the facility makes it a pain in the ass to track down and finish her. Overall that's my opinion on The Red Mist. When it comes to An Arbiter, however, the only real category that I see fits is Unstoppable. I am not lying when I say that her fight might be the second hardest in the game, potentially even the first depending on how White Night is feeling at the time. The meltdowns, the impenetrable armor, the pillars across entire corridors and departments, I lost so many employees the first few times I truly thought I'd have to wait until the very end of the game when I had god-tier weapons and armor to even stand a chance. Not to mention the fact that you not only have to fight her normally the first time, but **SPOILERS AHEAD** You have to do the entire fight A SECOND TIME WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PAUSE ON DAY 49. Taking an already difficult fight and making it truly impossible. The only reason I walked away with a win was because she got stuck in a door frame and I had an employee who was able to finish her off while she was there. Literally. **SPOILER ENDS** If there is ever a fight I'd be fine never doing again, it'd be An Arbiter. One of my single most hated suppressions to date. For the ordeals, they weren't all that bad once you figured out the gimmick. I think all of Amber are annoying at best just because they jump around the facility, and midnight has the ability to instant kill. Violet is slightly annoying but honestly, I think it has the easiest midnight of the bunch so long as you are paying attention to everything you need to be. Green has the hardest midnight because of the maneuvering you have to do, and the close proximity damage is a pain as well for most melee offensive employees. The White Ordeals also weren't really bad at all. The Claw was the most challenging I'd say, but even then it wasn't BAD. It was just slightly above annoying because of the teleporting. Honestly, the White damaging one was the hardest because of the damage reflection, and even then it's simply a matter of paying attention to what's happening. Sorry for the lengthy response! But I wanted to make sure I gave an in-depth response talking about everything rather than just ranking them and moving on haha. Hopefully, this answered well enough! Thanks for commenting! Have a lovely rest of your day!

@@DualBladesthe one thing that makes whitenight harder than arbiter is that you can chunk 1 or 2 of arbiter’s phases with the rabbit protocol and undo the meltdowns with backward clock, while none of those methods work for whitenight, with the only cheese that really works being the green midnight ordeal which takes a lot longer to get to and you’ll need both WN to spawn in the control department and a green midnight to happen at the same time.

I think I only had the train for about 6 or 7 episodes at the end of the second season here on RU-vid, and I only had it escape twice. Once was during a Midnight Ordeal, which nearly evaporated every employee I had sitting inside an elevator, and the other time was at the beginning of a day when it DID actually kill a solid amount of employees. Overall, it's annoying, but really any character you have in semi-decent gear should be able to tank the hit. Though I will say that I was also hyper-focused on sending people in since I had too much on the line to let it out haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

I think Big Bird might be my least favorite abnormality in the game to suppress. Compared to the rest, it's just on an entirely separate level than anything else, sure QoH is a pain to handle, but she can't do a little shake of a lantern and insta-kill employees. That being said, I still hate that goddamn abnormality haha. Still is and forever will be my least favorite abnormality in general. I was in a very similar situation to you, except I had the unfortunate circumstances of having Big Bird at the end of the hallway in the Architecture department, along with having several death-releasing abnos in the facility at the same time. Basically, I would have to wait for it to wipe my entire architecture department, release another two abnormalities in the process, and then multitask suppressing it as well as the other crisis entering my day. The worst part is that every time without fail it would manage to decapitate one of my employees while I was distracted handling someone like MoSB or QoH... what a real pain. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

Also fuck meat lantern, and fuck abnos sigh “your stats can’t be this high” caps atleast with SSW its easy to kill and won’t instakill your employees. I think you need justice or prudence 1 to safely work with meat lantern.

Correction meat lantern hates temperance.

The amount of times that thing caused me a restart in the late game is astounding. Cost me an entire attempt against Day 49 because it disguised itself as another abnormality of mine when I was trying to go through and clear meltdowns... in my eyes it’s nothing less than an absolute unstoppable monster. It’s the only abnormality in the game capable of ending your entire day with a single click. Sure it doesn’t DO anything on its own, but combo it with someone like the Plague Doctor or WhiteNight. The constant movement can cause you to quickly lose place of it, and it mimics the appearance of other abnormalities and feigns meltdowns as well. I can definitely see how you may appreciate it’s simplicity in the end, but I just can’t ever imagine myself picking it willingly haha. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

That was basically me with Behavior Adjustment. A massive boost to Justice with a minimal stat penalty to Prudence is easily manageable. Though Heart of Aspiration always worried me because I had an employee die once after I ended the day because they didn’t attack anything... they wore it the entire day and at the end died while holding it because we didn’t have anything to suppress. Quite the unfortunate casualty to say the least. That personally diminishes the value by a pretty fair amount, but that’s just my opinion. Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

@@DualBlades Wait, it kills your employee if theres nothing to suppress? Are you sure? Cause I havent had that happen.

I’m positive, fairly positive at least. It’s been a while since it happened and after it did I just completely stopped using it, so I never went back to test it a second time. Though I know for certain is was at the end of a day because as I clicked to end they panicked and it caused a death since they were panicking without being resolved as the day ended.

@@DualBlades Hmm. I'll have to test that on a throwaway nugget.

Hadn't even considered that, but that's actually pretty handy isn't it! My means of farming the gift was throwing my employee in and hoping that this wouldn't be the time they got eviscerated and let CENSORED out. Worked out eventually! I'll have to give this a shot next time I get on though for sure, thanks for telling me about it! Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

To answer simply, I honestly don’t have one particular favorite. I think I have two for two different reasons. If we’re talking style wise, then I’d say Silent Orchestra. The music and screen effects are very cool, and I also think that the actual design of the abno is great. I also really like WhiteNight though. It’s probably the hardest fight in the game, which makes it so rewarding to actually finish. I think that the countdown clock is cool too, with the apostles being added to the wheel. Between the two, I honestly don’t have one favorite. They both are high on my list for different reasons. Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

It was just a joke haha. Not really an abnormality that causes any issue other than cosmetic ones! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!

It's actually funny you mention that, because I definitely totally 100% did not attempt to use Yin and Yang to insta-win against WhiteNight. Absolutely totally not. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0En2ICqHfr8.html Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of your day!
