An RNG question

[Terratrox]

So I ended up picking The King of Greed on my first cycle... and I effectively can't stop it from breaching. Because it has 7500 health and is immune to red, but every EGO I have and CAN have is red, except Penitence, but Penitence hits for 1 damage.

It takes me 20+ minutes of active management on double speed to suppress it once, and it breaches every time I work with it even with an employee with 5 in the associated stat. I haven't even pulled a HE abno yet. I jumped from Zayin with 1 Teth to a WAW.

What do I do about this? If I reset, what do I keep?

You could just avoid it when it breaches since it only goes through corridors, but that would mean you will lose a lot of LOB points.
If you have a lot of LOB points you can upgrade Fortitude and Temperance of an emplotee to give them good chances of getting good work result. Or you can farm for these stats.
You can reset to memory repository, you will keep any EGO you aquired, any information you collected, but will lose the Abnormalities you picked after the repository, agents you hired and leveled up.
That's probably unnecessary in your situation but reset to Day 1 works the same as reset to repository.

Actually, it was entirely necessary because when I reset to repository, the King was still there. I didn't have anybody who could even safely work with it. My best Instinct was III on a level 2 character, and she couldn't even survive it if I got more than a few bad boxes because it hits like a train. And there was no farming because on Day 11 I was already hitting Violet Noons that instakilled my entire facility when they triggered.

That's unfortunate.

Yeah while it might've been manageable, it would likely not have been fun and honestly the day 1 was probably faster. Very unfortunate RNG getting it on a memory repo day. The violet noon's shouldn't be that much of a problem though. Just move to the side rooms/elevators so you don't get hit by the opening attack. Their damage after spawning is miniscule (though they do lower counters) and should be easily suppressible even with zayin gear. (IIRC they also don't hit employees from other departments so if you swap all your departments around right before the noon spawns they should just be able to have it land on them)

It was also unfortunate that my only EGO weapons were Penitence, Soda, and Beak. Everything else was a tool abnormality. Heart of Aspiration, Portrait of Another World, that stat shuffling one, the EGO eater, the murderbracelet, and the Justice booster. Oh and the one that straight murders people. That one was cool to get the data for /s.

Also yeah the drop attack was instakilling them. But they'd all have killed my staff anyway. Most had level 1 fortitude and they hit for 3-4 black a pop.
