Malevolence AI should always target Hyena with opening Charging Malevolence ability since Hyena is usually debuffed and his basic cleanses another ally anyway.
If the AI targets a different ship (not Hyena), the end result is 1 cleansed ship, 20% TM for all, and one overcharge placed on your team. However, if the AI targets Hyena instead, the end result is at least 1 cleansed toon, but usually two; all ships still get the 20% turn meter and one overcharge is placed on Hyena, who should arguably have it anyway for the increased defense boost.
