Taunting

Taunting forces nearby enemies to target the taunting unit, pulling aggro away from vulnerable allies. A cat with Taunting becomes the priority target for enemy attacks, making it a powerful tanking tool when applied to a durable frontliner with high defense or Shield stacks.

Taunting is the active side of the taunt mechanic: the taunting unit draws fire while affected enemies receive the Taunted debuff, which restricts their targeting. This pairing makes Taunting essential for protecting squishy damage dealers or cats on low health. Combine Taunting with Brace, Thorns, or Metal to create a nearly indestructible anchor that absorbs punishment while the rest of your team deals damage freely. Be cautious about taunting when surrounded by too many enemies at once, as even a tanky cat can be overwhelmed by concentrated focus fire.
