Roid Rage

Roid Rage grants +5 Strength for the rest of the battle. Used early in a fight, it amplifies every subsequent attack for the full encounter duration. The Stomach trinket doubles the effect to +10 Strength, making it one of the most powerful single-action damage buffs available for melee builds.

Strength in Mewgenics scales melee damage directly, so +5 STR adds to every physical hit for the rest of the battle. In long encounters with many attack turns, the compounding value far exceeds a flat one-time damage bonus. With Stomach's doubling to +10 STR, a Fighter or heavy melee attacker can one-cycle enemies that would otherwise require multiple turns. Stack with Lion Mane (+1 STR) and Horns (+1 STR) for extreme melee power going into a boss fight.

Use Roid Rage at the start of boss fights or tough encounters for maximum benefit across all attack turns. It's wasted if saved for a fight you're already winning decisively. The consumable slot is best committed to a Fighter or melee specialist whose core damage output is Strength-based. If you have Stomach equipped, Roid Rage becomes a must-use opener in any fight where melee damage output is the win condition.
