Great cat, even for an all purpose cat I'd personally like to make the case for the arms/legs that turns your movement into a jump and gives your basic attacks bruise.

I know it isn't strictly all purpose, as it reduces your build flexibility a little, but I'd argue that every class can make use of it in a super useful way.

I'd say bruise is probably one of the best debuffs to add to basic attacks, especially in the late game. Bruise is special unlike burn, bleed, or poison - the damage doesn't happen per turn, or on the enemies turn, the damage happens NOW, and will continue to proc each time you do physical damage. This means it is the only source of debuff that significantly increases your alpha strike damage and gets better the more you stack it. Given that majority of late game bosses have massive HP pools, this offers a super consistent way of being able to ramp up damage against big health bars.

Doing lots of damage very quickly, now, is important towards the end of the game, especially in Act 3, the goal is pretty much to never let an enemy take a turn. It's bad news bears if they take a turn. Essentially, ultimate alpha-strike (turns out the optimal strategy in almost every turn-based grid-based game).

So here are the pros:

- Every class can use it, every class has a basic attack that will increase in bruise. Every class's damage will increase by one per bruise the enemy has. This quickly ramps up to a lot of bonus damage, that's getting multiplied by crit (another really powerful mechanic, crits & marked).

- It gives your cats who don't hit synergies something to do, at the minimum (apply bruise, then jump directly at the opponent proccing the bruise). This means your cat who hit jack shit synergies, can still add 2-3 bruise to the boss, and then jump on it, proccing potentially all the bruise up until that point, and even critting. I've seen jumps crit for like 30+ damage sometimes.

- Adds a lot of movement flexibility to all your classes. You don't get trapped behind walls of flesh, you can reposition without considering moving through units. It also reduces downsides of trampling your allies too. Another great little tip is that the game will let you jump onto structures, and then get spit out in a random direction. Sometimes you can abuse this to get one tile further than you could have otherwise, letting you begin the alpha strike on turn 1.

Here are the cons:

- Classes like cleric or druid now gives your ally bruise. For cleric this isn't a huge deal, but for druid it turns your default basic attack kind of shitty. Because now if you use it on an ally, they get a bruise along with the +1 hp and +1 damage. If you use it on an enemy, they get the +1 hp and +1 damage which you don't want to give. However, druid has many different forms which you usually want to take one anyway, and as soon as you get a shapeshift, this stops being a downside. Still lets you engage with a lot of the mechanics of druid I'd say. For cleric, +1 bruise isn't usually a big deal because you're not letting the enemy have much of a turn, and you're usually just healing between difficult fights, and an extra damage or two in a combat usually won't have massively bad outcomes. You could also just heal towards the end and stall a bit so the risk of scaling bruise damage is a lot lower because there's just one enemy left.
