Jack of all trades or specialists?

I know that there are some abnormalities that will kill your people if their stats are too high. If that's the case, should I still be trying to level everyone's stats or should I put specialists into each department that only level a specific stat?

I've found that it's a bit too much of a hassle to try and play around Abnos that respond poorly to high stats, at least later on. I tend to use them to train newer employees, since the big offenders are usually HE class.

Luckily, most Abnos that don't like high stats are either relatively simple to just beat down (Scarecrow, Butterflies) or have no real consequence for just ignoring (Woodsman, Singing Machine). Meat Lantern is the big exception, but.. just don't get Meat Lantern.

Alright, but is it still better to have people that specialize in a stat or try to train everyone?

I can't really think of a reason you would want someone to be really good at just one thing. The game is very good at catching Agents out in what they're slacking in one way or the other. The only case I can imagine is CENSORED, since he has a weird reverse scaling with his works, but considering he's an ALEPH, you're probably gonna go from 1 to 5 in that stat from a single days' work.

I see, thanks
