Red Mist is overpowered?

[Igorious]

First, I really don't understand, why this boss battle included in strategy/management game at all. I like «pet» abnormalities and research their behaviour. Escaping is always a punishment for wrong work/conditions. But here the story forces us to suppress abnormality.
A super-aleph suppression with super-reward? OK. 1.5 hours of pause abusing (just remember that you haven't direct control over your employees), and I've overload her two times without any death.
But the 3rd stage...
She instant kills my employees by the smiling hammer. She instant kills my employees by two heaven spears.
I have the best weapon/armor set in the game, but I can't even come up to her.
What is wrong with she? What wrong with the game?
I've tried use Portrait+Shelter combo, but then she just instantly kills an employee inside the Shelter.
I'm sad :(

Her third stage is by far the strongest.

The only way I found to beat her was to use a hit and run strategy.


Have agents with 0.5 black and 1.0 pale resistance or better so they can survive ONE attack in case you mess up. They also need to have at least 100 HP and MP.

Her black smile can do around 200 black damage and her pale attack seems to do around 70% of your health.

This means only a handful of your agents will be able to fight her at this point. Everyone else should be hiding safely away from her spear attacks.


If they are using melee weapons wait for her to be close to a door, if they are using ranged you can attack even if she is a bit further away from the entrance. Remember to use either red or white damage weapons.


Now you have to let these agents wait in a room next to her. You really want them to have access to a main room so they can heal quicker.

When she is in position send them in the room. She sometimes will attack in the wrong direction and if you are using ranged weapons with long or very long range and if she is far away enough you can even outrange her pale attacks.

If she throws a spear, retreat and heal. If she raises her hammer, run, wait and come back. If someone gets hit, run and heal.


Repeat until she enters her last stage, which is much easier to handle.

implied by her story, the strategy should be using abnormalities to suprpess her

[Alrom]

Using abnormalities is one thing that can be done. I believe she even takes more damage from abnormalities.

But still, being able to deal 200 black damage and 70 pale damage very quickly means that most abnormalities will die so fast to her that it is barely worth the effort to make them breach and lure them to her.

The pale damage alone will ensure that any abnormality that takes normal pale damage will die in two hits.

[Igorious]

I've tried to use Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary 3 times, but total profit ~7%. Rabbits will die after several punches, they give to her ~3%.
Other abnormalities are not controllable. They want to kill me instead of her =\

[Igorious]

OK, I've finally got it.
Now 1st stage takes 3 minutes, 2nd stage takes 7 minutes. I feel powerfully enough.
3rd stage. I've used all that I've learnt.
1. AI glitch if she stands near the door, but with small empty space.
2. Rabbit team when she goes to the central department. x2 rabbit count. Also, I've used black/pale shields for them. Totally I've spent about 40 shields.
3. Little Red x3 to safely finish each sub-stage.
4. Seems, long-range RED/WHITE weapons are useless. WAW 4-6 vs ALEPH is nothing.
5. Shields, heal, shields, heal, ...
6. Slowing bullets!

Now I'm happy :)

I wonder how it would work to have minimum amount of agents and just have one agent go to Shelter abnormality and stay there until abnormalities defeat her

Oh you are a genius. You just found a way to cheese this boss!

The only requirement for this boss is to defeat her, no energy or time requirements so this probably would work.
