[h3]🧠 Smarter, Deadlier Enemies[/h3]
- Improved stealth and enemy perception make sneaking even more satisfying.
- New detection bar: Enemies now have three states—Detect, Investigate, and Alert.
- If you stay out of sight long enough, enemies will “forget” about you and return to their idle state.
- Hidden enemies (Spiders, Zombies, Lizards, Fungal variants) now have an Ambush Mode, programmed to strike as soon as they spawn (bypassing the Detect and Investigate states).
- More ranged enemies are entering the game, with enemies shifting between melee and ranged combat depending on player distance.
- No more enemies leaping into the abyss! If foes can’t reach you, they’ll either attack at range or patrol, waiting for an opening to strike.
- Enemies will no longer attack all at once—they’ll surround and take turns attacking based on an "aggression meter."
- Tougher enemies (Ravager, Assassin) will be more aggressive, attacking more frequently than weaker enemies (Defenders, Gunners).
- Refined special attack VFX for a more polished feel.
- More powerful weapon abilities—but with increased mana costs.
- Rebalanced spells to make each choice more meaningful.
- Her royal majesty, Rhylotha, descends into Kristala! Face her terrifying, eight-legged challenge in the dark forests and caves of Dalamase.
- The Myrtunan Shard Guardian (wielding a crystal-encrusted Greatsword) awaits those brave enough to test their mastery of Ailur's necromantic spirit magic.
- All existing bosses have been rebalanced and polished, with improved animations and mechanics.
- Watch out! Enemies like the Masarusa, Undead, Spiders, and Gilsanka now emerge straight from the ground—ambushing unsuspecting players.
- Spell selection added to the Character Creation menu.
- Equipment Menu overhaul for a smoother experience.
- If time allows between now and Tuesday, we'll also launch the new Spell Tree and Inventory menus. Def stay tuned!
