Off-Topic Info:

Gameplay

• The Rogue class wields twin daggers and is specialized in fast movement, allowing them to perform two quick attacks with normal attacks and most of their abilities. Additionally, they can climb and jump between terrains with less cost compared to other classes.
  
• They have movement abilities like "Shadow Strike" that enable them to attack and move to the target simultaneously, and ranged abilities such as "Flying Edge" that allow them to throw the daggers from a distance.
  
• However, these advantages come at the expense of reduced health and defense.
  

• The Swordsman Class now has the ability to parry enemy melee attacks from the front side with a 50% chance to trigger in each hit.
  
• When the parry activates, an orange circle will appear on the attack target (the one receiving the damage) along with a thin white circle that will shrink over time.
  
• Players must interact with the circle in time (by default, using the left mouse click or spacebar) and align it within the orange circle to execute a successful parry.
  
• In the event of a Successful Parry: The damage received from that hit will be negated, and all remaining combo hits will be stopped. The defender will then counter-attack the attacker with a normal hit or a critical hit, depending on the result of the attack (Normal Hit or Critical Hit) delivered by the attacker.
  
• In the event of a Failed Parry: The damage will be received as usual, and the attacker can continue their combo hits.
  

• Players can now move twice as far as before, but it will also cost twice as many action points (4 AP Cost instead of 2 AP Cost). This means the player will take only one action instead of two to cover the extended distance. For example, previously, if a player wanted to spend 4 action points on moving, they would have to move once for 2 action points and then move again for another 2 action points. Now, the process is shortened, making actions quicker and more visually reasonable. However, players can still opt for the normal movement process by choosing Blue tiles (2 AP Cost) instead of Purple tiles (4 AP Cost) within the movement range action.
  

• All the characters are now able to jump between terrains, but it will cost more movement points.
  
• For example, jumping from a plain tile will have a lower movement cost compared to jumping from a forest tile, which will be more expensive.
  
• Additionally, jumping up will cost more movement points than jumping down, approximately 25% more.
  
• It is worth noting that the Rogue class can jump with less cost, about half of the jumping cost of all other classes.
  

• Throw two daggers consecutively at the enemy. Deals 115% of P.ATK damage with a 20% chance to inflict Poison per hit.
  

• Teleport to the back of the target (if possible) and then dash and stab through to the front of the target.
  
• This skill counts as an attack from the back, and all bonus damage is applied if possible (+50% damage when attacking from the back).
  

• Quickly stab the target two times consecutively. Beware that this skill will require more precision to hit, and even more so for critical hits.
  

• Release multiple arrows at the target with two strafes. The skill will be more effective at point-blank range.
  

• Shoot a single fire arrow that has a high chance to ignite the target, causing them to burn for a duration.
  

• Time will only move when a character takes an action, including walking and attacking.
  
• The time will be stopped when a character does not make any action.
  
• Therefore, actions that take more time to process will result in more time passing.
  
• For instance, moving 10 tiles away will take more time to pass than moving 5 tiles away, and attacking with 3 combo hits will take more time to pass than attacking with one combo hit.
  

Animation and Visual

• Characters will now adjust their position in a way corresponding to their actions.
  
• For example, the archer will move back slightly when about to shoot an arrow, while the Swordsman will move their position forward with each hit when executing the Chain Attack ability or normal attack.
  

• All projectiles will now have a white trail effect, making them more visible in the environment and showing the trajectory of the projectile's movement.
  

Camera

• Players can now move the camera and ignore the current focus event on the screen.
  
• For example, if a player wants to see another character while the enemy is moving, they can now move the camera more freely without the camera being fixed on the current event (default keybinds are W, A, S, D).
  

• The camera will focus on the enemy target only when it is revealed to the player's sight.
  
• This prevents the enemy's movements from being exposed by the camera focusing on the fog of war.
  

User Interface (UI)

• Tooltips will be shown when the player hovers over any actions or notable UI elements that require further explanation.
  
• All the costs of actions will be displayed on the top right of the tooltip window, including AP, HP, and MP costs.
  

• Moving within the Blue area requires 2 AP.
  
• Moving within the Pink area requires 4 AP.
  (The character cannot move through areas occupied by enemy characters.)
  

• เดินในระยะพื้นที่สีน้ำเงินใช้ 2 AP
  
• เดินในระยะพื้นที่สีม่วงใช้ 4 AP
  (ตัวละครไม่สามารถเดินผ่านพื้นที่ที่มีตัวละครฝั่งศัตรูได้)

• The Action Bar (the UI at the bottom center of the screen where players can choose actions) has been reworked to be more compact and centralized.
  
• At the center of the Action Bar, there is now a portrait of the current turn character along with their name.
  
• On the left side, all available actions for that character are displayed (default keybinds are 1 -> 5), while the right side contains all of the character's skills (default keybinds are F1 -> F8).
  
• Additionally, the UI will automatically reveal the action range when the mouse hovers over an action (for example, the movement range will be displayed when hovering over the Move Action).
  
• When a player clicks on any action, the UI will slide down to a minimized state and display the cost of Action Points (AP), Health Points (HP), and Magic Points (MP) at the bottom of the screen.
  

• All skills now have their own icons, including those for the Swordsman, Archer, Rogue, and Flag Bearer classes.
  

• The red flag with the text "Enemy Turn" will be displayed when it is the enemy's turn.
  

Gameplay

• Move: Costs 2 AP
  
• Normal Attack: Costs 3 AP
  
• Skill: Cost depends on the skill, typically ranging from 3 to 5 AP
  
• Rotate Character: Costs 1 AP
  
• Guard: Costs 3 AP
  

• For example, if a player doesn't want to attack in a turn, they can choose to move twice, costing a total of 4 AP, and still have 1 AP left to rotate the character in their desired direction.
  
• However, if the player decides to move and attack within the same turn, it will cost all 5 AP, leaving no AP for rotating the character. Additionally, in some cases, an Archer may want to use the ultimate skill "Arrow Shower," which deals significant AoE damage and costs 5 AP.
  
• In this situation, the character will not be able to move or perform other actions during that turn, as all the AP will be consumed by the skill.
  

• Players can choose any AoE attacks and skills within the red tiles, and the UI will display the AoE range with orange tiles.
  
• Directional damage will be calculated individually for each character, based on their positioning.
  

• Front Damage Multiplier: +0% of total Damage
  
• Side (Left or Right) Damage Multiplier: +20% of total Damage
  
• Back Damage Multiplier: +50% of total Damage
  

• Has a base 20% chance to inflict the status effect with each hit, which can be upgraded by skill level.
  
• Damage will be calculated as 25% of the highest total damage dealt to the character that triggers the effect.
  
• The damage is applied every turn as a damage over time (DoT) effect and lasts for 2 turns.
  
• If the same target is inflicted with the Fire Status Effect again, it will take the highest total damage as a damage over time and refresh the duration of the Fire Effect to 2 turns.
  

• Has a base 10% chance to inflict the status effect with each hit, which can be upgraded by skill level.

• The damage is applied every turn as a damage over time (DoT) effect and lasts for 5 turns.
  
• If the same target is inflicted with the Poison Status Effect again, it will take the highest total damage as a damage over time and refresh the duration of the Poison Effect to 5 turns.
  

• Added Offensive and Aggressive mode to the enemy's behavior. For example, if the enemy has less than 25% of their health remaining, they have a 50% chance to flee from the battle. This means they will walk away from the player characters. The player will need to decide whether to chase the fleeing enemy or continue fighting other targets. In such situations, it is advisable to utilize all available AP effectively and avoid wasting any remaining AP.
  
• Added Melee Enemy Behavior: Melee enemies are aggressive and can move through any line of player defense if possible, in order to attack the weakest target. If a weakness is not identified, they will target the nearest enemy.
  
• Added Ranged Enemy Behavior: Ranged enemies calculate their attack range before moving. They will move within their attack range and prioritize targeting the weakest possible enemy within that range.
