Multiclass Mewgenics Guide: How to Obtain Rare Traits
Multiclassing is one of the most powerful long-term systems in Mewgenics, but the game barely explains how it works. Many players finish several runs without realizing they can create hybrid cats that inherit rare active and passive abilities from different classes. If you want stronger future runs, learning how to farm these traits is essential. This guide explains how multiclassing works and how to reliably obtain rare inherited traits.

How Multiclassing Actually Works

When a cat completes a run, it retires and keeps its collar, abilities, and stats at home. Retired cats can breed, and their kittens have a chance to inherit active or passive abilities from their parents. Important rules to remember:
- Kittens are always born colorless
- They may inherit class abilities from parents
- You can assign them any collar on their first adventure
This is what creates multiclass cats. A kitten might inherit a Mage passive but later become a Fighter, combining both playstyles. Rare traits usually come from strong late-run abilities that get passed down through careful breeding.
Increase Your Chance of Inheriting Rare Traits
The biggest factor in trait inheritance is home stimulation. Higher stimulation improves the odds that kittens inherit abilities instead of random filler traits. To boost stimulation:
- Buy furniture that increases stimulation stats
- Upgrade your house to fit more useful items
- Avoid overcrowding rooms with too many cats
A well-managed home dramatically increases your chances of producing hybrid kittens with valuable skills.
Choose the Right Parents

Not every retired cat is worth breeding. Focus on parents that have:
- Strong late-game active abilities
- Powerful passives that scale well
- High base stats or useful mutations
Breeding two cats that share similar strengths increases the chance of producing focused builds. Avoid pairing cats with weak or mismatched kits, since that dilutes the trait pool. It also helps to rotate in stray cats occasionally. This prevents bad defects from stacking and keeps your gene pool flexible.
Farm Abilities Through Targeted Runs
If you want a specific rare trait, run adventures with the goal of unlocking or rolling that ability on a parent cat. Once you get it:
- Retire the cat safely
- Breed it immediately
- Protect it from house fights or accidents
Think of strong cats as long-term investments. Their real value comes from what they pass to the next generation.
Manage Your Home Carefully
Poor home management can ruin your breeding plans. Keep an eye on:
- Comfort: Prevents fights that can kill valuable cats
- Food supply: Too little food harms your colony
- Population balance: Too many cats cause stress
Use separate rooms to isolate important breeding pairs. This gives you more control over which traits are passed down.
Build Around the Inherited Trait
When a kitten inherits a rare ability, assign a collar that enhances it. For example:
- A kitten with a strong Mage passive can become a support Fighter
- A Hunter trap ability can pair with a Tank control build
The goal is synergy. Multiclassing shines when you design the entire build around the inherited skill instead of treating it as a bonus.
Multiclassing turns breeding into a long-term progression system where each generation can be stronger than the last. By improving home stimulation, selecting the right parents, and planning targeted runs, you can consistently produce kittens with rare hybrid traits. Once you start building around inherited abilities, your teams become more specialized and far more effective, making future adventures smoother and more rewarding.
