Mewgenics Princess Hat Guide: What Princess Hat Does
Princess Hat in Mewgenics gives the wearer +10 Shield at the start of battle, but they can only use Move while it is equipped. They cannot attack or use abilities. If the wearer is downed, the item breaks. If you complete the objective successfully, it turns into Used Princess Hat, which grants +6 Shield in battle without restricting actions.
That is the full effect in simple terms.
Princess Hat Effects Explained
When a cat equips Princess Hat, two things happen immediately.
The cat gains +10 Shield at the start of battle
The cat can only use the Move action
They are completely locked out of attacks and abilities. You still control their movement, but they cannot contribute offensively or with support skills.
The item is marked as fragile. If the cat is downed at any point, Princess Hat breaks and is lost.
What Happens After Completion
If you complete the side objective tied to Princess Hat without the wearer being downed, it becomes Used Princess Hat.
Used Princess Hat grants +6 Shield in battle. Unlike the original version, it does not restrict actions.
This means the upgraded version keeps a defensive bonus but removes the Move only limitation.
Final Blurb
Princess Hat in Mewgenics is a high risk modifier that gives +10 Shield but locks the wearer to Move only and breaks if they are downed. If completed successfully, it upgrades into Used Princess Hat, which grants +6 Shield with no action restriction.
It starts as a handicap and ends as a solid defensive item, if you keep the cat alive.
