Mewgenics 1.1 Patch Notes: Breeding Rework, Mage and Tinkerer Buffs, Hunter Nerf

What Changed

• Mutation stat no longer rerolls existing mutations or birth defects, ending the inbreeding cleanup loop.
• Mutation stat rolls only simple +2/-1 mutations until past 10; effect mutations gated behind deeper investment.
• Stimulation now lowers parent-defect inheritance and its benefit shrinks as inbreeding rises.
• Inbred kittens inherit parent birth defects at a significantly higher rate.
• Voice inheritance from a parent dropped from 98 percent to 75 percent.
• New status effect Blast Resistance added to Tinkerer, raising the status count to 61.
• Cursed Items and Parasites are no longer exempt from item degradation.
• Mage buffed at large: +2 range across six spells, Blizzard rework, Ice Paws damages frozen units, Forbidden Spells pool split.
• Tinkerer reworked at large: free Throw Weapon action, -2 mana on five abilities, Conductor and Math! and Lightning Rod reworks.
• Hunter nerfed at large: Ball of Spiders and Flea Shot lose DEX scaling, Heavy Shot gains 50 percent miss chance, Hunter's Boon to once per turn.
• The Coven, Tormentor, and Dreadnoughtus head gained HP; Spewer dropped to 100; Stacy rose to 125 base.
• Random rolls at 0 percent or 100 percent no longer advance the RNG.

Build Impact

• The Mutation reroll cleanup is gone, so the inbreed-then-reroll late-game breeding loop no longer works and must be replaced.
• Effect mutations are harder to reach (gated past 10 Mutation) but not nerfed, except the bonus-turn head mutation which now has -2 speed.
• Mage rises: +2 range across six spells plus the Blizzard guaranteed-Freeze rework strengthen elemental AOE.
• Tinkerer rises: free Throw Weapon action, broad mana cuts, and Blast Resistance lift turret-caster output and survivability.
• Hunter drops: DEX-scaling loss on Ball of Spiders and Flea Shot guts the DEX glass cannon, and Heavy Shot becomes a coin flip.
• Monk single-target burst weakens because Fist of Fate+ repeats must hit different targets.
• Tank, Necromancer, Druid, Psychic, and Thief gain small utility upgrades; Fighter loses uptime to the Merciless restriction.
