Sleep Dart

Sleep Dart is a ranged weapon automatically granted by the Hunter class's Sleep Darts passive. At the start of each battle, any allied cat without a weapon receives temporary Sleep Darts. Each dart fires a straight ranged attack dealing 1 damage and inflicting Sleep 1. This 2-use version provides extra charges, giving the Hunter's allies more opportunities to disable high-priority targets before they can act.

Sleep 1 is a brief but impactful status — a sleeping unit skips their next action, which can deny a heavy-hitting enemy their attack window or allow allies to reposition safely. The 1 damage is mostly incidental; the value is entirely in the Sleep proc. Two charges mean the armed cats can target two separate enemies per battle opening, potentially locking down multiple threats simultaneously if paired with another Hunter ally also distributing darts.

The Sleep Dart is not intended to be used as a primary weapon — it is a setup tool for the rest of the party. Use the darts on the fastest or hardest-hitting enemies to buy time for your main damage dealers. In parties with multiple unarmed cats, the Hunter becomes an exceptional force multiplier: every cat that would otherwise punch uselessly gets a pair of crowd-control shots instead.
