Stopwatch

Stopwatch is the rare weapon earned by completing the Stopwatch sidequest. Once per battle, it grants an AI-controlled bonus turn to you or a target unit — a versatile tempo tool that can accelerate an ally's actions or squeeze an extra attack out of a powerful cat. Far more controlled than the maddening sidequest trinket it originated from.

The AI-controlled nature of the bonus turn means you cannot direct exactly what the targeted unit does, but the unit will generally take an action consistent with their current situation. On aggressive cats, this usually means an extra attack; on cats with healing abilities, it may mean a heal. The once-per-battle limitation keeps it from being overpowered, but timing the bonus turn for maximum impact can swing fights significantly.

Stopwatch is most powerful as a weapon slot filler for a cat who does not need a traditional weapon but wants a battle-changing tool. Target the most impactful cat on your team with the bonus turn — typically your highest-damage dealer or a cat who has a crucial ability they could use twice. It also functions as a support item for faster cats to double their already-strong early-round actions.
