Stat Bounty

Stat Bounty marks an enemy so that defeating them grants a permanent stat boost to the cat that lands the killing blow. Unlike regular Bounty which rewards currency, Stat Bounty provides a lasting stat increase that persists beyond the current fight.

Stat Bounty is one of the most valuable effects in the game because the stat gain is permanent for the run. Apply it to enemies you can reliably kill, and make sure your best cat gets the finishing blow to maximize the stat investment. Prioritize Stat Bounty targets even over more immediately threatening enemies, as the long-term power gain compounds across subsequent encounters.
