Butcher Hybrid Carry
by BrokenBuilds Wiki
Bred Butcher with 7 STR and 6+ CON. Drops food pickups on kill that heal allies, removing the need for a dedicated healer slot in the early game. Hook ability adds positional control on top of the sustain. GameRant ranks Butcher in their top tier for exactly this slot-saving function.
How to Breed
Pair the right parents
- Father
- high CON cat with Hook or Cleave
- Mother
- high STR cat (Fighter or Tank lineage)
Set up the room
Comfort4Stimulation50+Higher Stimulation now lowers the chance the kitten inherits a parent birth defect, so push it to protect the STR and CON floor. Keep the line away from inbreeding, since inbred kittens get less out of Stimulation and inherit defects at a higher rate. Effect mutations only roll once the line clears 10 Mutation; below that you get simple stat mutations, which suit this collar fine.

Notes
Steam meta guides approximate Butcher power as STR x CON, and a 7/7 Butcher is the closest thing in the game to a self-sufficient carry. The food-pickup sustain removes the dedicated-healer requirement early, and Hook positional control defines mid-game encounters. Butcher took no direct changes in 1.1 and the breeding shifts hit it lighter than most: the kit works on baseline stat rolls, so the new inbreeding penalties cost it less than they cost the glass-cannon collars. Strong starter unlock, strong long-term breeding target.
