TV Bot: Obey

Internal engine status effect. This is a command status applied by the TV Bot enemy. The "Obey" command charms or mind-controls the target, forcing them to act on behalf of the TV Bot's team.

TV Bot enemies cycle through different commands, and Obey is an allegiance-switching effect similar to Charmed or Possessed. An affected cat turns against its team temporarily, attacking allies and potentially using its full ability set against your own squad. High-damage cats under Obey are especially dangerous since they can one-shot their own teammates.

Keep your strongest cats out of range when the Obey command is about to cycle in. If a cat is charmed by Obey, positioning your other cats away from the charmed unit limits the damage it can do to your team. Eliminating the TV Bot removes the charm source. The other TV Bot commands (Die, Dumb, Stop) have different but equally disruptive effects.
