Mewgenics Base Stats Guide
In Mewgenics, a base stat of 5 is average. Anything 6 or 7 is considered good, and 7 is the highest possible base stat at birth. If you see 3 or lower, that is generally considered poor for long term breeding.
Base stats matter most for breeding, not temporary run boosts.
What Is The Maximum Base Stat
The maximum base stat a cat can be born with is 7.
You cannot naturally start with higher than 7 in any stat at birth. Any higher numbers you see during a run come from:
Collars
Mutations
Equipment
Temporary buffs
Breeding only considers original base stats.
What Counts As A Good Stat Spread
Use this simple rule:
5 is average
6 is good
7 is excellent
3 or below is weak
A kitten with multiple 6s is strong breeding material. A kitten with multiple 7s is top tier.
Early on, aim for:
At least two stats at 6 or higher
No stats at 3 or below if possible
You do not need all 7s to succeed.
Should You Aim For All 7s
Technically, it may be possible over many generations, but it is not required.
Trying to force perfect 7s across every stat early will slow your progress. Instead:
Combine cats with different strong stats
Breed for balanced 6s across important categories
Avoid stacking weak stats
A cat with 6 STR and 6 HP paired with a cat with 6 INT and 6 CHA can eventually produce balanced offspring with strong spreads.
That is more realistic than chasing perfect 7s immediately.
Important Breeding Reminder
Breeding uses the cat’s original stat line only.
If you take a cat into runs and boost stats through gear or mutations, those increases do not affect breeding results.
Only the base numbers matter.
When To Discard A Kitten
Many players use this guideline:
If a kitten has a stat at 3 or lower, it is usually not worth long term breeding
If it has no stat above 5, it is average at best
Early game, you can accept 5s. Mid game and beyond, aim for mostly 6s and 7s.
Long Term Stat Strategy
Over time, you want:
Strong HP and STR for frontline builds
Strong INT and CHA for Mage style builds
Balanced SPD and LCK depending on playstyle
Diversify your gene pool with stray cats to avoid inbreeding and stat stagnation.
Breeding is a gradual optimization system, not an instant perfect stat machine.
Final Blurb
In Mewgenics, 5 is average, 6 is good, and 7 is the maximum base stat. Focus on breeding cats with multiple 6s and avoid 3 or lower stats whenever possible. Do not chase perfect 7s too early. Build balanced bloodlines and improve generation by generation.
Strong base stats make late game progression much smoother.
