Let's Play Mewgenics: The Bad Care Run

[Shifter55]

Two days pass, and sadly even with Chernobyl breeding a kitten, she didn't pass on the disorder, however she does seem interested in Gimli, so we will leave those two in our new room together to try again. Their kitten Simon does have rather decent stats however, and Confusion is a solid debuff spell.

With more than enough cats to make a full team, we choose Aslan (mage), Luis (hunter), Havel (tank), and Gage (cleric) to explore the sewers. With an all-male team we should be able to easily pass down disorders if one of them happen to acquire some on this run.

Overall these stat and abilities aren't quite as good as the first adventure, and I have concerns about Priority Target being on Havel, but with healing and free revives available through Gage we should be able to keep all the cats relatively healthy, even if they aren't intact. We're also going to use the Bloody Coin with Luis, taking advantage of Hunter's high range and LUK to attack twice a turn when we aren't exploiting his inherited Toss to open up space. Birdseed and some insurance for Aslan's low health rounds out the equipment.

The effects of birdseed are very apparent in the first alley fight, we immediately advance upon the eagle, but due to his passive ability, Luis misses twice, failing to deal much damage to it. Thankfully the others are able to compensate, even if Havel takes some friendly fire in the process. We are able to break a trashbag and harvest spoils while easily dispatching the rats and kittens, but more often than not, Luis is failing to hit targets!

Luis levels up and given his low INT and inaccuracy, the 3 attack abilities fail to impress, so we are going with Dump...
The rifle we got from this fight will be equipped to Gage, as a 12 damage shot anywhere on the map will be useful in an emergency, even if we can only use it twice.

Second alley fight pits us against Tom Toms and mice, since we gathered plenty of coins this battle I don't see the need to try to break the trashbag here. Once again they pose no challenge to our team.

Gage levels up and we choose Wrath of God for the option to finish battles in an instant, once high HP foes are dealth with.
We also find another Stone Orbit, which is unlikely to be of much use.

The Alley miniboss this time is Maisie and her kittens. She's more of a handful than Magnus, as her ability to swap places when you attack her kittens draws out the fight, but it's not a challenge, especially with Gage's new spell!

On round 2, we unleash the Wrath of God. After having to witness every kitten die in spite of her efforts, Maisie flees from the scene.

This time Aslan levels up and we choose Warp, a handy spell for extra movement that goes in almost any build. From the bird at the fight we also loot a Leather Mask, which goes on Havel for when he has to distract foes eventually, I don't think he likes it.

It seems like Maisie left a surprise for Gage though, a bear trap dealing a hefty 10 damage that she won't be able to heal away with her abilities!

Next fight we are ambushed by more cats, possibly in revenge for completely erasing Maisie's charges, a Raven seems to be interested in starting something too. As the kittens close in we focus down the birds and Luis fumbles around trying to protect Gage from the Tom toms' wrath.

As the dust clears, Havel has leveled up, all but negating the damage he took. We choose Clap to supplement his poor attack. From the fight we gained quite a haul, enough Leather to fully armor Havel, a Raven's Feather, and a Colostomy Bag. The last two items are interesting, sharing damage between two enemies and spawning weak allies respectively. All of this is equipped on the cats, with Havel receiving 3 more Shield from a set bonus!

At the store we spy some Bear Traps, which we will be storing for later, and Havel gets another Level up. We choose Slack Off again for it's healing benefit.

Once again we fight Rad Rat, while a Turkey gets dragged into the fight by the Raven's Feather on Gage. Both will die in this fight due to that curse. Luis manages to get some hits in this time, with Aslan steadily chipping at the rat's health.

Gage levels up this time, and I select Venerated Touch for the debuff and extra shield. From the rat's stash we find Les Toxin, a Disco Biscuit, and Paper Mask, allowing our cats a wide spread of debuffing tools.

Now, on to the Sewers!
