Mercenary kinda sucks?

[GamingRush]

I was attempting to do the "Suppress He class anomalies" mission, when Little Red Riding Mercenary decided to break her ass out and wipe the entire facility. I've tried requesting her to kill someone, but the counter won't go back up. What am I supposed to do?

Do NOT let any abnormality escape when she is in the your facility, or get some ALEPH E.G.O to surpress her

I know, but that's not the issue. The issue is that I can't do the missions for repressing anomalies if I can't let any anomalies out without her absolutely destroying me. The only Aleph equips I have are Blue Star's, which aren't particularly good. I guess I wait until Nothing There decides to show his ugly mug or something.

So, you cant surpress HE abnormality without her?
I dont think so, even blue star E.G.O can destroy dusk ordeal
Also, if you successfuly managed ALEPHs, in most case, you must have tons of WAW E.G.O since ALEPHs are not easy to manage with HE or below EGOs, this means you can surpress her easily

What he/teth abnormalities(to surpress) you have?
First mission of disciplenary team(I dont know correct English version text), requires surpress he or teth so if you can surpress any teth abnormality, do it with this
I can't understand why you can't surpress them without her
And what E.G.O which level is higher than teth?

It's not that I can't suppress other abnormalities without her (and even if it was, her killing an abnormality doesn't add to the counter). The problem is that when 3 abnormalities break out, Mercenary also breaks out, and a couple of her attacks pierce everyone and do a lot of damage. It might just be me under-preparing the first time, but I still had every single employee I had fighting her, and they got destroyed. The only thing I can think to do without better red resisting gear is to suppress 3 anomalies, then rush someone into Backwards Clock before Mercenary can get to them (because they're in the same department), but I'd rather not.

When did you pick her, if you can go back to memory repository without her, do it.
But if you can't, here is red hood mercenary surpress plan let red mercenary target agent with blue star E.G.O(Mercenary only attacks who she marked, which means if that agent still alive, she only attacks that agent unless wolf is also in your facility)(Place Blue star E.G.O Equipped agent in front of her containment room), use bullets such as R damage barrier and HP heal bullet for blue star E.G.O equipped agent and destroy her with other agent behind her

Sorry for bad english while explaning surpress plan.

Supress 2 abnormalities first. Then, prepare a strike team to face Red Hood. Let an "easy to supress" abnormality breach (like Ppodae or Scorched Girl) to make Red Hood escape. Supress the easy one with a second team, and use your strike team to supress Red Hood. Once Red Hood is supressed, you're free to get 2 more breaches.

To face Red Hood, take your best employee with the max resistance to red damage to tank her at close range. Make sure that specific employee is the first one Red Hood sees. Then make all the rest of your strike team hit Red Hood behind her back : that way, you only have to care about the health of your tanking employee. Use Red shield bullets to make your tanking more effective.

However, if you don't have bullets or good anti-red gear, you should consider resetting with memory imprint if it's not too late, or resetting to day 1, since Red Hood is really though to deal with if you don't have good gear.

Thanks a million! I had the person who was wearing the best suit have Knight of Despair's blessing, and she tanked it so hard. I can finally move on.

I'm glad it worked for you. You may think that having Red Hood is not that great, but she is definitely worth hahving if you need to supress anything in the facility. She's also great if you want to have more firepower, or need some distraction on problematic breaching abnormalities. (Ex: Red Hood on Big Bird, while I suppress another one elsewhere with my employees)

Knight of despair is indeed an excellent choice when you need an employee to tank damage. Just be careful that this blessing is a double-edged sword : you don't want your blessed employee to die or panic, trust me.
