Jar of Leeches

A rare trinket that adds a status effect to basic attacks via AddStatusToBasicAttack — likely a drain or life-siphon effect given the leech theme. Jar of Leeches pairs well with high attack-rate builds and any setup that can trigger basic attacks multiple times per turn. A rare-tier on-hit debuffer that rewards staying in melee range and attacking consistently.

A leech-themed status on basic attacks most likely drains HP from the target to heal your cat, which fundamentally changes how Jar of Leeches plays compared to pure debuff trinkets like Bee Stinger. If each basic attack siphons even a small amount of HP, the cumulative effect across an entire fight can be the difference between surviving a tough encounter and dying from chip damage. This makes Jar of Leeches especially strong in prolonged fights against high-HP enemies.

Jar of Leeches is best on melee cats that attack frequently and want self-sustain without dedicating ability slots to healing. The more attacks you land per fight, the more HP you recover. Pairs naturally with multi-hit ability builds where each separate hit triggers the leech. Consider stacking it with Nightshade's AmplifyStatus to intensify the drain effect, or with attack-frequency boosters to maximize the number of leech procs.
