Punishing Bird or Melting Love?

[Nitaire]

I need to choose between these 2, the other choice is absolutely insufferable and I will avoid it at all costs.

Punishing Bird seemed alright from what I recall but I am early game and if it breaches I believe a clerk will shoot it and it'll unleash hell on my facility.

Melting Love on the other hand, I only unlocked basic information (for name) and vaguely recall there being something that made her difficult to work with.

So I need community advice, which one is the lesser of the 2 evils? Picking the other choice is NOT a consideration for me, it was just that bad.

Oh and for reference I am up to day 19, just about to finish working on safety expansion.

To answer this question seriously we need to address the incorrect information regarding Punishing Bird.

Punishing Birds effect is that if an AGENT attacks the bird, it will eat them. Also if it was programmed correctly, it would eat the clerk that attacked it and then fly back into its cell. ALL employees are programmed to avoid attacking punishing bird when it is in its room, so accidentally attacking it would only occur if there is a "dmg reflecting" ability.

That is all regarding the escape information, its management information is easy to understand: it breaches when working on other abnormalities. Just work on Punishing Bird first then send employees into your other abnormality rooms. Or you can just ignore it and let it breach since its a TETH that gives barely anything

Whatever your 3rd option is, it is not as bad as dealing with Melting Love on the Lower Floors (Asyiah, Upper to our perspective) as Clerk can bleed into other departments causing the plague to spread further then if she was stationed in Briah or Atziluth,

Thankfully you can avoid taking the blessing that kick starts this mess by preforming repression and dealing with her easy breach instead.

just your staple ALEPH built to destroy most of your facility if you don't pay attention.

what even is it?

It only responds to agent attacks? Well that's a relief, I will definitely take Punishing Bird instead of the other 2.

Thanks for the help, the wall of text was fully read and advice is carefully taken under consideration.

Depending on your facility changes the choice.

If your set up to handle it (and have the ability to easily kill clerks) Melting Love is one of the best Alephs to have in your facility. She has great gear, is fairly easy to handle, and has some very niche but potent benefits to letting her breach in some scenarios.

If you are not set up to handle her, she can become a massive problem. Mismanaging her or straight up not having the right tools to handle her makes Melting Love a potential reset.

yea melting love, not the easiest to handle but the gear is really not bad tho but in term of worth punishing bird has chance to do the apocalypse bird

Bit late on the draw here, bud.

I know this was ages ago, but I'm SO curious what the third option was.
