Once a character has some guard points stacked up, all damage that would've been done to his LE, are first dealt to the existing guard points.

Hello everyone!

In this month's patch notes, I implemented some new artes, armor parts,
enemies as well as fierce enemies and a lot of other stuff!



--- Enemies ---
1. ---> Added new normal monsters to the game : "Sandy Snake"
2. ---> Added new fierce monsters to the game : "Fierce Earth Gargoyle"

--- Balancing ---
1. ---> Changed the damage from DoT artes to their respective elemental damage. For example : "Burn" will not longer deal non-elemental damage, but instead elemental damage (Feyra). For DoT effects like "Bleeding", the damage has been changed to the element "Blootre".

--- Artes ---
1. ---> Added a new arte for Fyrea to the game : "Fiery Wrath" ; this arte makes use of an applied "Burn" effect on the enemy target to deal extra elemental damage to that specific target and then removes the "Burn" effect and applies a new effect, called "Firebitten" that reduces the enemy feyra resistance by 35%. Take note that this only works if the target is burned before using "Fiery Wrath".
2. ---> Added a new arte for Fyrea to the game : "Feyrunten's Fiery Claw" which is the direct follow up arte for "Fiery Wrath".
3. ---> Added a new arte for Fyrea to the game : "Throat Slice" ; this arte makes use of an applied "Bleed" effect on an enemy.
4. ---> Added a new arte to the game : "(Fierce) : Stone Slash.
5. ---> Added new artes for "Alissa" to the game : "Paralyzing Arrow", "Paralyzing Arrow II", "Paralyzing Arrow III", "Destructive Shot", "Wyndar's Heavy Storm", "Stormy Claw".

--- General ---
1. ---> Since the implementation of an NPC that allows you to forget artes if you already learned the next stage of that specific arte, I felt that it should be easier and more convenient for the player to hide/forget that arte. Having that in mind, I decided to implement said covenience and were looking for the best way to do so. Now, artes like "Dagger Stab" will be automatically forgotten once you learned a highter tier of that arte, such like "Dagger Stab II". For example : If you learned "Dagger Stab II", the basic version of "Dagger Stab" will be automatically forgotten.

--- Items ---
1. ---> Added a new arte book to the game : "(Fierce) : Stone Slash".

--- Armor ---
1. ---> Increased the critical hit bonus for "Fyrea's Armor" : Basic Fyrea's Armor ; 1% crit -> 5% crit. All other enhancement levels of "Fyrea's Armor" will add up the critical hit chance until +15% chance for critical hits at current maximum enhancement.
2. ---> Added a new armor part to the game : "Fierce Earth Gargoyle's Shield".
3. ---> Added a new armor part to the game : "Fierce Earth Gargoyle's Ring".

Hey everyone!

This little hotfix here was made due to the fact that the difficulty slider
wasn't working properly and caused the game to crash right after clicking
the "Options" button in the main menu.

This bug has now been fixed and everything should work properly now.
For the difficulty slider, I decided to remove it for now to take a further
look into it and figure out why it behaved this way.
