Angry Worm

An enraged worm lodged in the skull that channels its frustration into the wearer's every swing. Angry Worm reduces CON by 1 but adds temporary effects to basic attacks via AddTemporaryEffectsToBasicAttack — short-duration buffs or enhancements that fire on each hit, amplifying the wearer's offensive output turn by turn. The exact temporary effects depend on context, but any cat who attacks frequently will extract consistent value from the passive without having to spend any actions to activate it.

AddTemporaryEffectsToBasicAttack applies an on-hit temporary effect that enhances subsequent attacks or the wearer's stats for a short window. Unlike permanent buffs, temporary effects mean the enhancement expires and must re-trigger, creating a rhythm where the wearer continuously refreshes the bonus through consecutive attacks. This design rewards aggressive, attack-every-turn play styles and punishes passive positioning.

Angry Worm is ideal for high-attack-frequency builds — cats who use basic attacks on every available turn get the most consistent activation of the temporary effect. Butcher, Monk, or any physical attacker who rarely skips attacks benefits naturally. Spellcasters who rarely use basic attacks will find Angry Worm's proc unreliable and the CON -1 a pure downside. Check what the temporary effect does in-game to evaluate its power relative to the HP cost.
