Item
Steven
Very Rare
A fragment of Steven's face, still animated despite being worn by someone else. PassiveWhenDead means its passive effect only activates after the wearer has been killed — a posthumous contribution unique among face items. What exactly it does while the wearer is dead is unclear from item text alone, but the effect persists through death, giving the wearer influence even from the grave.
PassiveWhenDead is a conditional trigger — the effect is inactive while the wearer is alive and only activates upon death. This is the inverse of most items: the cat must die for the item to do anything. The passive could affect ongoing battlefield conditions, buff allies, debuff enemies, or produce effects tied to the dead cat's corpse depending on what Steven's fragment brings.
Best evaluated in context of what the specific passive does when dead — this Steven face piece rewards builds designed around controlled sacrifice or intentional death. Pairs naturally with other on-death effects like Intruder (SpawnThingOnDeath) or Charon's Obol. If the dead-state passive is powerful, this could justify deliberate frontline deployment of an otherwise understatted cat.
