Immolated

Immolated is a Special Injury that permanently reduces both Charisma (CHA) and Luck (LCK) by 1. It leaves burn scars across the cat's body and head, and is specifically caused by being downed while afflicted with the Burn status effect rather than being drawn from the standard Basic Injuries pool.

Because Immolated targets two stats instead of one, it is more punishing per instance than most Basic Injuries. The CHA loss affects breeding potential and social interactions, while the LCK loss subtly degrades every random roll the cat makes. Fire-heavy areas like The Core and The Crater pose the highest Immolated risk, since enemies there frequently apply Burn stacks that can persist when a cat goes down.

Preventing Immolated requires either avoiding being downed entirely or clearing Burn stacks before a cat reaches critical HP. Water-element abilities, Wet terrain tiles, and Burn-removal items are all effective countermeasures. Cats heading into fire-heavy areas should carry some form of Burn protection, especially valuable breeders whose CHA loss would impact your cattery's long-term genetic quality.
