You’re in the heat of battle, your trusty feline warrior dodging enemy strikes, when suddenly—bam!—their health hits rock bottom. You can sense the impending doom.
Cats might have a reputation for nine lives, but in Mewgenics, it’s a bit more complicated. As you pit your cats against foes, they can take damage, and without proper care, their chances of survival dwindle quickly. Let’s explore how to keep your beloved companions in fighting shape.
Healing Your Cats: Practical Insights
Injuries result from the chaos of battles in Mewgenics. When a cat’s health completely fades, it will face injuries. Reviving them takes away those setbacks, but without healing, they can find themselves back at square one. Cats with a low constitution are particularly vulnerable to this fate.
Your cats aren’t just at risk on the battlefield. Low Comfort stats in their home can trigger fights, especially among aggressive companions or those eyeing a lover. The consequence? Injuries that can put a major dent in your lineup.
So, how do you actually heal them? This is where the Super Bandage comes in. A highly valuable item that fits into the trinkets section and has four uses. When activated, it can cure a variety of ailments and is usable on any member of your feline army—though only during battles.
Equipping the Cleric collar makes a world of difference. It’s the sole healing class in Mewgenics, boasting abilities like Revive that restore 50% HP and eliminate a random injury. Upgrade that spell, and watch your healing prowess soar.
Cats can sometimes heal while resting at home—a little bit of luck can yield results. But don’t count on it as your primary method; in hours of play, I’ve seen this happen only a couple of times.
Reviving Your Cats: A Ray of Hope
When your cat’s HP plummets to zero, they don’t just fade away—they become incapacitated and acquire a random injury. A countdown timer appears, ticking down until it’s too late to revive them. Each strike upon their corpse decreases that timer.
Reviving isn’t just a straightforward task. One option boosts the corpse’s health, like the Muertos Mask, which adds extra opportunities for the corpse to be struck before the countdown runs out. But to truly resurrect a cat, you’ll need specific items that grant auto-revive.
- Smelling Salts
- Hockey Mask
- Frank Bolts
- Neck Wrap
- Ankh
- Mummy (only from set bonus)
A selection of abilities can facilitate revival efforts, elevating your strategy.
- CPR (Collarless): Revives an adjacent body to +1 HP
- Awaken (Cleric): Revive a body to +1 HP
- Revive (Cleric): Revive a body to +50% HP and cure a random injury
- Born Again (Cleric): Revives a body to +100% HP, gives All Stats Up, and then falls asleep
- Breath of Life (Cleric): Heals and revives a downed unit
The healing powers of the Cleric class are impressive. If your cat doesn’t come equipped with such abilities, they need to be strategically slotted in during combat. Will you risk it all or build a team that heals and revives with finesse?
