Mewgenics Range VS Reach Explained

In Mewgenics, Reach increases how far melee attacks can hit, while Range increases how far ranged attacks can travel. They are separate stats, but some builds can benefit from both at the same time. If you are stacking the wrong one, your attacks will not extend the way you expect.

Here is how they actually work.

What Reach Does

Reach affects melee distance. It increases how many tiles away a melee attack can target.

If a cat normally hits 1 tile away in melee, +1 Reach lets them hit 2 tiles away instead. This applies to melee based skills and close combat abilities.

Items like Rubber Band increase Reach. That directly extends how far your melee strikes can connect.

If your attack is classified as melee, Reach is the stat that matters.

What Range Does

Range affects ranged attacks. It increases how many tiles a ranged ability or projectile can travel.

If a ranged skill normally hits 4 tiles away, +1 Range makes it 5. Items like Binoculars increase Range, and some passives also grant additional Range.

If your ability shoots, throws, or targets from distance, Range is what extends it.

Can A Cat Benefit From Both

Yes, depending on the build.

Some classes like Thief can use abilities that scale with both Reach and Range if their kit includes mixed attack types. For example, stacking Reach from an item and Range from a passive can result in very long targeting distance.

If a cat has melee skills and ranged skills, both stats can apply to different abilities.

The key is checking how each ability is classified.

Common Confusion

Upgrading a skill like Archery does not automatically affect unrelated abilities. If an ability is not classified as ranged, Range will not change it.

Likewise, stacking Reach will not extend true ranged projectiles.

If something is not extending your attack distance, double check whether the ability is melee or ranged.

How To Decide What To Stack

Look at your main damage source.

• Melee focused build, stack Reach

• Ranged focused build, stack Range

• Hybrid kit, test both carefully

Always verify by checking tile distance in combat before committing fully.

Final Blurb

Range and Reach in Mewgenics are not the same. Reach extends melee distance, Range extends ranged distance. Some builds can benefit from both, but only if their abilities actually use those classifications.

If your attacks are not stretching the way you expected, you are probably stacking the wrong stat. Check the ability type, then stack correctly.
