Steven

Steven is a very rare trinket that passively adds a status effect to every basic attack. As one of several Steven-themed items, this variant focuses on the simplest offensive application — consistent status application with no activation required. At very rare rarity the status it applies is likely more potent than common on-hit trinkets, making it a strong pick for cats that attack frequently.

AddStatusToBasicAttack procs on every basic attack the wearer makes, meaning attack frequency directly determines how much status the trinket generates. Fast-attacking cats or builds with multiple attacks per turn accumulate status on enemies rapidly. Because this is a passive trinket with no activation cost, it runs in the background on every turn without requiring any player input. At very rare rarity the status being applied is the key variable: Poison, Bleed, or Blind applied on every attack creates mounting pressure that compounds as fights extend.

This version of Steven is a straightforward pick for physical attackers and weapon builds that land many basic attacks. The higher the attack frequency, the more status stacks accumulate per fight. Combine with status-amplifying mutations or abilities that benefit from enemies being afflicted to squeeze more value from each proc. Among the Steven variants, this is the most universally applicable since basic attacking is something every cat does — the trinket contributes on any build without requiring specialization.
