Understand Cat's Eye
Useful when…
- Equip on an Adarza Kavat to provide a periodic critical chance buff to allies in range.
- Rank it when longer buff duration, wider range, and a more frequent listed interval matter.
Effect, range, and timing
At maximum rank, Cat's Eye grants allies within 25 m a 60% increased critical chance for 10 seconds every 20 seconds. At rank 0 the values are 15% for 4 seconds within 15 m every 50 seconds; rank 2 gives 45% for 8 seconds within 22 m every 30 seconds. The effect is periodic, so the listed buff duration is shorter than the interval between grants.
Pet fit and ranking
This precept is for an Adarza Kavat, has Penjaga polarity, base drain 0, and maximum rank 3. Higher ranks improve the listed critical chance and duration, expand the range, and shorten the interval. The listed upgrade costs are 30, 60, and 120 Endo plus 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 credits. Rank it when those broader and more frequent buff windows are useful to your play.
Alternative precept
Reflect has a 40% chance for the Adarza Kavat to reflect damage back at an enemy, amplifying it by 60%. That is an offensive pet effect, not a substitute for Cat's Eye's periodic ally critical chance buff; consider the difference when choosing precepts.
Limitations and acquisition
The buff applies to allies within the listed range and lasts for the listed duration; it is not continuously active at the listed maximum values because it triggers every 20 seconds and lasts 10 seconds. Cat's Eye is listed as a Kavat drop. The input does not specify how its critical chance combines with a particular weapon's existing stats, so use the stated buff as given.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The critical chance effect is periodic and has a downtime between listed buff windows.
- The precept requires an Adarza Kavat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the maximum-rank buff is continuously active despite its 20-second interval and 10-second duration.
- Using it without accounting for the 25 m ally range.
