We haven't exactly seen a proper ritual update in Steal a Brainrot for how long? It's been quiet for a bit, but the newest update brings a bit of, uh, noise. This time, instead of adding random collectibles, there's an actual secret that's quite easy to obtain, provided you know the game's mechanics.

Ay Mi Gatito is not just some random collectible for your collection. This ritual is a way for players to increase their cash flow by quite a lot. For players who have been in the Tsunami mode or even in the Admin Abuse sessions and have seen the little cats, you are in the right place. We have calculated the mechanics and numbers to help you understand how to use a basic unit and how to make it an overpowered Steal a Brainrot unit.

↖ The Prerequisite: Getting the Ay Mi Gatito

Before thinking about the ritual, we must first obtain a base unit. The Ay Mi Gatito, a secret unit, can be obtained through Admin Abuse events with Sammy (the dev) where she spawns them, or through trades with people who got lucky.

This is the reason doing the event is worth the hassle. At base level (no mutations), the unit gives a generous 3.2 million dollars per second. Even if it is a low rank secret unit, that is a solid amount.

However, it is clear that no one can achieve this by themselves.

Critical Requirement: owning two of these units is a must. You need to have one, and your friend (or second account) needs to have one. The combo ritual relies on the energy created between two separate people.

↖ Step by Step: Doing the Ritual

We found this method by chance during the testing of proximity mechanics, and it ended up being much more straightforward than the rituals we've done in the past. There are no elaborate rituals, no altars, no timers. You just need love.

Here is the exact set of steps that will allow you to trigger the event:

• 1. Equipping the Unit: Ensure that you and your friend both have the Ay Mi Gatito equipped and visible while at your base.
• 2. The Hug Mechanic: Go to a big and open area. The game code seems to work with some kind of proximity check and it looks like you need to stand almost in each other's character model to trigger something.
• 3. Waiting for the Visual Cue: You two should be able to see a visual representation of a bond or a beam that connects the two cats.
• 4. Confirmation: A cat emoji will appear over the units. This basically signals you that the ritual was a success.

After you see that emoji, don't stick around. You need to go to the conveyor belt at your spawn. If everything went right, you should be able to collect a new unit called Los Mi Gatitos that should have spawned on the belt.

↖ Analyzing the Reward: Los Mi Gatitos

So, is it worth the effort? Absolutely. When we picked up the resulting unit, the Los Mi Gatitos, the stats jumped significantly.

Here is a breakdown of the value shift:

As you can see, simply doing the ritual doubles your income from 3.2M to 6.5M. But if you want to maximize this, you shouldn't stop there.

↖ The Mutation Strategy

If you are serious about efficiency, you know that base stats are just the beginning. There is an event mechanic where trading a unit back and forth increases the chance of a mutation.

We suggest purchasing Los Mi Gatitos and selling it to each other's bases to gay back your money. Although we were unsuccessful on our first few tries (2 minutes of trading without a success), the possible gain is great. A more advanced version of this brainrot can deal damage from 20 million to 30 million per second. This essentially transforms a mid-tier secret into a top-tier earner.

↖ Frequently Asked Questions

↖ Can I do the ritual alone since I have two cats?

No. You need two different players (or at least two different accounts) to do the ritual. You can't just equip both of them yourself.

↖ I do not see the unit on the conveyor belt, what happened?

The spawn happens immediately after the visual cue (the cat emoji). If you do not see it, make sure your inventory is not full, you didn't get disconnected while bonding, and you are looking at the start of the conveyor belt.

↖ Are Ay Mi Gatito and Los Mi Gatitos Different?

Absolutely. Ay Mi Gatito would be considered the base unit (the ingredient) while Los Mi Gatitos would be considered the brainrot (the reward). It's like Pokémon; you lose the base form to get the evolved form, but the evolved form has better stats.

↖ Conclusion

This update has added a much-needed break to Steal a Brainrot. The new ritual is simple, social and adds a cash generation upgrade guaranteed. Getting the base Ay Mi Gatito might take some lobby hopping or trading, but a 6.5M+ unit is quite possibly one of the best time investments in the meta.
