Apsaras or Leanan Sidhe?

[K9ofChaos]

I'm at the crossroads of the subquest where I have to choose between either Apsaras or Leanan Sidhe. Which one is the stronger of the two? My current demon stock is Pixie, Mermaid, Peallaidh, and Zhu Tun She.

it doesnt really matter since you can fuse / find both of them later. so just decide based on what feels right for you

Sidhe is like a level higher so you can have a higher level demon on your side just for a while shes also able to fight the first boss at Tokyo Tower and survive better than Aspara, but as it was said you can fuse either one anyway once you reach the level.

I've heard that Leanan Sidhe is the stronger of the two through various google searches but she also increases your Chaos Alignment. However, I do want to fuse Danu whenever I get to that quest, so would the alignment choice of this quest affect my chances of getting Danu?

You have the whole game to get yourself back on the law path so a chaotic choice this early shouldn't really matter much

Sidhe is slightly better but Apsaras is useful for Hydra. Can fuse both fairly easily anyways so not worth agonizing over this decision.

Leanan Sidhe because she learns Media.

I ended choosing Leanan Sidhe because of the Media spell. I'll just stock up on Demons with Ice Spells for the Hydra Boss.

Leanan, not because she's stronger, but because her sense of justice is far more righteous than Apsaras. you can always fuse into the other one easily.

[Makina Icyterror]

Pick the hotter one. Leanan ez win.

I found Asparas kind of weak in this game compared to her other appearances, not to say she's bad but I feel like Leanan is the better option.

Leanan, Mermaid, and something else that isn't weak to fire+can heal/do ice damage should be fine for Hydra. Mermaid especially. Between her and Aramasa, Hydra couldn't down a party member on Hard mode.

You can fuse both, but Apsaras is fusable one level sooner.

Apsaras is pretty useful if you're on vengeance. Immune to charm is great for a specific boss. Better to fuse her though, in my opinion.

[Black Lamb, Rock Enjoyer]

Usually go with the least common one or the opposite of what you want to fuse into. For example, Leanen is higher level and I want to fuse Apsaras to get some skills on her so Leanen. And later on like with Black Frost or Dionysus one sucks and one is really good but I want to fuse for the good one to get bonuses so I chose the one that sucks.

But it doesnt matter that much cus of essences and you can fuse to get them all. Might as well go with what you feel from the dialogue.

and is higher level iirc

Also siding with weak people if you go full chaos just doesn't feel right

Apsaras isn't weak if you get her before the Hydra, because her ice is its weakness.

It's all about the context in which you need which demon here.
