[h2]♾️ Endless Mode Major Upgrade![/h2]

The Endless Mode has been completely redesigned for deeper strategy and progression:

【Revolutionary Starting System】- New independent reward system with initial choices:

◆ Multiple prize item combinations
◆ Several future Adhisthana enhancements
◆ Pinball base level upgrades

【Dynamic Difficulty Selection】- Replaced fixed difficulty progression with:

◆ 5-tier gradient selection (Basic/Elite/Nightmare/Abyss/Chaos)
◆ Tiered unlock system (clear current difficulty to unlock next)
◆ 35% reward increase per difficulty tier

【Mode Structure Optimization】- 30 stages as benchmark completion point:
◆ Option to exit and immediately retry with stage rewards
◆ Or continue into "True·Endless Mode"

【True·Endless Mode】
◆ New enemy patterns without weaker foes
◆ Still provides periodic rewards

The goal of this update is to improve both strategic depth and replay value. Players can experiment with different tactical builds through customizable starting configurations and self-selected challenge levels. True Endless Mode serves as the ultimate proving ground for hardcore players.

[h2]📊 Balance Adjustments[/h2]

Pinballs now always rebound instead of disappearing when leaving bounds. All pinballs' Reload Time has been reduced uniformly - no longer requiring upgrades to decrease.

• Trailokya Beads: Reload Time 2.5s→1.5s
  
• Five Ways Pinball: Reload Time 2s→1.2s
  
• Conch Pinball: Reload Time 2.5s→1.5s
  
• Vajra Chakra Pinball: Reload Time 5s→2.5s
  

Each pinball's Collision Count has been adjusted according to characteristics and can be upgraded through the pinball system. Additional Adhisthana adjustments:

• Balanced effects across Agate Adhisthana system
  
• Fixed effect bug in Dharmachakra's ultimate weapon - explosion probability now more noticeable
  
• Sea Shell Adhisthana: Original Cold Realm effect rarity upgraded to red, original True Sea Shell downgraded to blue
