TV Bot: Dumb

Internal engine status effect. This is a command status applied by the TV Bot enemy. The "Dumb" command reduces the target's Intelligence or disables their ability to use spells, functioning as a silence or stat reduction effect.

TV Bot enemies cycle through different commands on their screens, and Dumb specifically targets spellcaster cats. When a caster cat is affected by Dumb, they lose access to their spell abilities temporarily, forcing them to rely on basic attacks. This is particularly devastating for Intelligence-focused builds that depend on spells for their core damage output.

Cats with strong basic attacks are more resilient to Dumb since they can still contribute meaningful damage without spells. Keep spellcaster cats outside the TV Bot's range when the Dumb command is active. Eliminating the TV Bot removes all command threats simultaneously. The other commands (Die, Stop, Obey) affect different aspects of combat.
