Mewgenics Magic Damage Guide: What Stat Affects Magical Damage

Magical damage in Mewgenics is not boosted by STR, DEX, or other base stats unless the ability specifically says so. Instead, magic damage is increased by the +1 Magic Damage status effect. If a cat has +1 Magic Damage, all magic abilities deal +1 damage each time they hit.

This is not a hidden formula tied to core stats. Magic damage scaling comes from the Magic Damage modifier itself, not from general physical or ranged damage stats.

How Magic Damage Actually Works

Magic abilities deal their listed damage. They do not automatically scale with STR, DEX, or other base stats.

If you gain +1 Magic Damage, every magic ability you use deals +1 extra damage. If you gain +2 Magic Damage, each magic ability deals +2 extra damage, and so on.

It is a flat bonus applied to magic abilities only.

What Does Not Affect Magic Damage

These stats do not increase magic damage unless an ability explicitly says they do:

• STR

• DEX

• Ranged Damage stat

• Melee Damage stat

For example, increasing a Ranged Damage stat does not increase the damage of a ranged magic ability unless that ability specifically states it scales with something else.

If the ability does not mention scaling, assume it only benefits from Magic Damage modifiers.

Exception Based Abilities

Some abilities may state that they scale with a specific stat. If an ability says it scales with STR, INT, or another stat, then that rule applies.

If there is no scaling text, then the damage is fixed and only boosted by Magic Damage bonuses.

Always read the exact ability description. In Mewgenics, scaling is explicit, not hidden.

Why This Is Important For Builds

If you are building around magic abilities, stacking STR or DEX will not increase your spell damage unless the ability clearly says so.

Instead, you want effects that grant Magic Damage. That flat bonus increases every magic ability you use, which can add up quickly in multi hit or frequent cast builds.

If you mix physical and magical abilities, you may need to balance physical stats and Magic Damage bonuses depending on your loadout.

Final Blurb

Magic damage in Mewgenics is boosted by the Magic Damage status effect, not by base stats like STR or DEX unless an ability specifically states otherwise. If you want stronger spells, stack Magic Damage bonuses and read ability text carefully. The game does not secretly scale magic with physical stats.
