Nudist

Nudist grants your cat a massive +50% dodge chance, making it significantly harder for enemies to land attacks on it. Dodge in Mewgenics causes attacks to miss entirely, dealing no damage and applying no effects. A 50% dodge chance means roughly half of all incoming attacks will whiff completely, which is an enormous defensive advantage that stacks with other dodge sources.

Nudist 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 name implies the cat refuses to wear equipment, though whether this disorder actually restricts equipment slots is not specified in the effect text. The +50% dodge alone makes Nudist one of the strongest purely defensive disorders in the game, rivaling Immortal in terms of damage mitigation over a long fight.

Strategically, Nudist is excellent on any cat that benefits from not being hit, which is essentially every cat. It is especially powerful on glass cannon builds that deal high damage but cannot take many hits. Stacking Nudist with Anxiety (+10% dodge) or Borrowed Time (+50% dodge) can push dodge chance to extreme levels. The disorder pairs well with offensive disorders like The Shining, Blood Frenzy, or Flaming Fists since the dodge chance provides passive defense while you focus on dealing damage. Nudist is universally strong and worth keeping in almost any situation.
