Cleave

Cleave causes a unit's attacks to hit additional targets adjacent to the primary target. Each melee swing or ability strikes not just the intended enemy but also units standing next to them, turning single-target attacks into area damage.

Cleave is extremely valuable when enemies cluster together, as a single attack can damage two or three targets at once. Melee cats with high Strength benefit the most, as the cleave damage typically scales with the original hit. Position your Cleave cat to maximize the number of enemies in the splash zone. Be cautious when allies are standing adjacent to enemies, as some cleave effects may hit friendly units caught in the area.
