Borrowed Time

Borrowed Time grants a massive +50% dodge chance but curses your cat with Doomed 3, a countdown that kills the cat when it reaches zero. The dodge chance is identical to Nudist, making it one of the strongest evasion effects in the game. However, the Doomed 3 counter ticks down each turn, giving your cat only 3 turns before it dies unless the Doomed effect is removed or delayed. This creates an extreme glass cannon scenario where your cat is nearly unhittable but has a ticking death clock.

Borrowed Time is heritable and can pass from parent to kitten through breeding. It can also be acquired through events or applied with a Disorder Syringe from the Organ Grinder. The Doomed 3 counter is a severe drawback that makes the cat a short-lived burst contributor rather than a sustained fighter. Unless you have a way to cleanse or delay the Doomed status, the cat will die after 3 turns regardless of how much HP it has remaining.

Strategically, Borrowed Time works if you can either remove the Doomed effect or end battles within 3 turns. High-damage burst builds that aim to kill everything quickly can benefit from the dodge chance without worrying about the death timer. Pairing it with Kamikaze (explodes on death) turns the guaranteed death into a final offensive act. If you have access to Doomed-cleansing abilities or items, Borrowed Time becomes pure upside since you get the dodge chance without the death sentence. Without a Doomed counter, this disorder is extremely risky for long battles.
