How to Unlock and Use Blank Collars in Mewgenics

A comprehensive guide on how to unlock and utilize Blank Collars in Mewgenics to stack duplicate classes in your party, based on reporting by Polygon.
If you are diving deep into the bizarre and tactical world of Mewgenics, you have probably realized that team composition dictates everything. Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's long-awaited tactical roguelike gives players plenty of ways to customize their feline squads, but one of the most game-changing progression items you can chase is the Blank Collar. As detailed in a recent guide by Johnny Yu over at Polygon, these special items break the standard party rules by letting you stack multiple cats of the exact same class onto a single adventure, opening up some wildly chaotic team builds.
Unlocking Blank Collars takes some dedication at the home base. You will need to unlock Tracy early in your playthrough, and then start making heavy sacrifices. Your first milestone requires donating a cat that is age five or older to unlock food storage, followed by donating 10 more cats to unlock the right to purchase your first Blank Collar from Tracy's shop for 150 coins. If you want to push your party limits further, you will need to keep feeding the machine, requiring 40 more cat donations for the second collar and another 40 for the third.
Once you secure a Blank Collar, putting it to work requires checking your adventure box before you head out. Instead of acting as a wild card you control manually, the Blank Collar randomizes into a duplicate of one of the other collars you own for that specific run. You can easily preview what class it will mimic by looking at the symbol on the adventure box. Because these items are permanent and persist between runs, you do not need to hoard them for tough bosses. Jump into Polygon's full breakdown to see visual examples of how these stacked class compositions can completely change your strategy.
