Broken Leg

Broken Leg is a Basic Injury that permanently reduces a cat's Speed (SPD) by 1. It leaves a scar on the cat's legs and reduces both movement range and turn order priority, making the cat slower to act and harder to position effectively in combat.

Broken Leg is applied randomly when a cat is downed during combat or through House events like Cat Fights. It is permanent and cannot be healed through rest, only through specific injury-removal effects. Multiple Broken Legs stack, and each one further restricts the cat's ability to reach favorable positions or act before enemies.

SPD loss is especially painful for melee cats that need to close distance quickly and for any build that relies on acting before enemies to set up combos or control the battlefield. Ranged cats and turret-style builds that prefer to stay in one spot are less affected by the movement penalty but still suffer from the turn order drop. Cats with the Broken Limb disorder already have reduced speed, so a Broken Leg on top of that can make them nearly immobile.
