Exhaustion

Reduced capabilities due to fatigue or specific debuffs.

Status: Exhaustion

Exhaustion represents physical and mental fatigue, limiting a cat's combat effectiveness.

Effects

  • Reduced AP: Exhausted units may start their turn with fewer Action Points (AP).
  • Sleep Vulnerability: Severely exhausted units (or those using the Exert ability) may fall Asleep, skipping their turn entirely.
  • Stat Reduction: Can lower Strength or Speed temporarily.

Causes

  • The "Exert" Action: Pushing a cat beyond its limits to recast a spell or move again.
  • Prolonged Combat: Certain late-game enemies or environments can drain stamina.

Strategy

  • Resting: Skipping a turn or using a healing item can sometimes mitigate fatigue.
  • Risk/Reward: Exhaustion is often the cost of powerful "nova" turns where you dump all your resources at once.
