Mewgenics Dexterity Guide: What It Does And How It Affects Combat
Dexterity in Mewgenics increases ranged damage. It is one of the core stats and directly impacts how hard ranged attacks hit during combat. If you are using a Hunter or any build focused on ranged pressure, Dexterity is one of the most important stats you can invest in.
This guide explains exactly what Dexterity does and where it matters, without guessing or inventing hidden mechanics.
What Dexterity Does
Dexterity increases ranged damage.
That is its confirmed function. When a cat uses ranged attacks, higher Dexterity results in higher damage output.
It does not affect melee damage. That is handled by Strength.
Which Classes Benefit From Dexterity
Hunter benefits the most from Dexterity because it relies on ranged attacks.
Other classes may still use ranged abilities depending on skills, but Hunter is the most direct scaling example.
If your build focuses on attacking from distance, Dexterity is relevant. If your build is purely melee, Strength matters more.
Dexterity And Combat Buffs
Dexterity can be increased temporarily during combat.
For example:
All Stats Up increases Dexterity along with every other core stat
Mutations can modify Dexterity
Equipment and collars may provide Dexterity bonuses
Temporary buffs apply during battle. Base stats affect long term scaling and breeding.
Dexterity And Breeding
Kittens inherit base stats from their parents.
If you want high Dexterity cats long term:
Breed parents with high base Dexterity
Use Stimulation room bonuses to favor higher inherited stats
Avoid confusing base stats with modified stats
Only base Dexterity is inherited. Temporary bonuses do not pass down.
Dexterity Versus Other Stats
Dexterity increases ranged damage only.
It does not increase:
Max HP
Mana regeneration
Turn order
Crit chance
Those are handled by other stats like Constitution, Intelligence, Speedy, and Luck.
If you are building a ranged damage dealer, prioritize Dexterity. If you are building a Tank or melee Fighter, Dexterity is less important.
When To Prioritize Dexterity
Prioritize Dexterity when:
Running a Hunter focused build
Playing ranged heavy compositions
Fighting bosses where distance control is important
Do not prioritize it in melee focused builds where Strength provides more value.
Final Blurb
Dexterity is simple but important in Mewgenics. It increases ranged damage and scales best on Hunter and other ranged focused setups. If you want consistent ranged pressure, build and breed for high base Dexterity. If you are not using ranged attacks, invest elsewhere.
