Mewgenics Concussion Guide
Concussion in Mewgenics is a permanent injury that reduces a cat’s Intelligence by 1. It is part of the Basic Injuries pool and can be applied when a cat is downed or when an event selects a random injury. Once applied, the stat loss remains unless specifically removed by an effect that heals injuries.
Concussion is not temporary. It permanently lowers Intelligence and can affect builds that rely on that stat.
What Concussion Does In Mewgenics
Concussion applies the following stat penalty.
-1 Intelligence
That is the entire effect. There are no hidden bonuses or extra triggers tied directly to Concussion itself.
Because Intelligence often affects ability scaling, losing 1 point can slightly weaken certain builds. Over multiple injuries, the impact becomes more noticeable.
How Cats Get Concussion
Concussion is part of the Basic Injuries pool. It can be applied in two main ways.
A cat is downed
An event applies a random injury
Any time the game selects a random injury, Concussion is one possible result.
There are no special requirements that make Concussion more likely than other Basic Injuries.
Basic Injuries Overview
Concussion is one of several Basic Injuries that permanently reduce stats.
Broken Paw, -1 Strength
Torn Tendon, -1 Dexterity
Broken Rib, -1 Constitution
Concussion, -1 Intelligence
All Basic Injuries reduce a single stat by 1 and are permanent unless removed by a specific effect.
Can Concussion Be Removed
Some effects in Mewgenics can heal injuries or grant immunity to certain injury types. If an effect heals injuries, Concussion can be removed.
Other effects may convert injuries into a specific type or trigger bonuses based on existing injuries. These interactions depend on the ability or event involved.
There is no passive recovery over time. If nothing heals it, the injury stays.
Is Concussion A Big Problem
A single Concussion is usually manageable. It becomes more impactful if stacked with other injuries or if your build heavily depends on Intelligence.
If you are running a build that scales strongly with Intelligence, protecting that cat from being downed becomes more important. Sometimes survival is better than squeezing out one more risky action.
Final Blurb
Concussion in Mewgenics is a Basic Injury that permanently reduces Intelligence by 1. It can be applied when a cat is downed or when an event selects a random injury. While one Concussion is manageable, repeated injuries can weaken stat scaling over time. Protecting key cats and avoiding unnecessary downs is the best prevention.
