Scrap Bag

Scrap Bag is an uncommon trinket with a StatusOnBattleStart passive that applies a status effect at the beginning of every fight. Getting a free buff or debuff before the first turn is strong consistent value — it effectively gives your cat a head start in every encounter. The exact status it applies determines how best to build around it.

StatusOnBattleStart triggers before the first action of the fight, placing the wearer in a predetermined status state from the very beginning. If the status is a buff like Haste, Armor Up, or Strength Boost, the cat immediately benefits from enhanced combat capability. If it is a neutral or mixed status, understanding exactly what the status does is essential before committing to the item. The consistent every-fight trigger makes this passive very reliable compared to conditional procs.

Works well on cats that benefit from being in a specific status state from turn one, such as a class with abilities that trigger off or amplify certain status effects. Pairs with mutations that extend status duration or increase their potency. Because it fires on every fight without cost, Scrap Bag provides reliable run-wide value as long as the applied status is something useful for your build's game plan.
