- Updated `data/missions.json` to increase difficulty in Chapter 4:
- Expanded enemy card pools with higher-tier units (Templars, Purifiers, Prophets, Archangels, Seraphs).
- Increased gold rewards for missions 022 through 028.
- Updated mission descriptions and lore to reflect the escalation.
- Enhanced `src/scenes/BattleScene.js` animations for Righteous abilities:
- Refactored `smite` animations to use new sprite frames (38, 39) and split cast/damage logic.
- Updated `overcharge` to use sprite 40/41 with pulse effects and integrated HP loss/ATK gain animations.
- Updated `fortify` to use sprite 37 with projectile travel and pulse effects, integrating armor gain animation.
- Updated `hack` to use sprite 42 with a 3-cycle pulse before executing copied skills.
- Added new audio assets:
- `fortify.mp3`, `hack.mp3`, `overcharge.mp3`, `smite-cast.mp3`, `smite-damage.mp3`.
- Updated `src/scenes/BootScene.js` to load the new audio files and removed deprecated smite sounds.
- Updated `assets/images/spritesheets/attacks.png` and `.psd` to include new animation frames.
Reorganize the combat turn sequence to handle Venom, Carapace, and Molt effects within the `_preBattlePhase`. This ensures damage and stat changes occur before buffs and attacks, allowing for accurate pre-attack animations and logic.
Key changes:
- **CombatEngine.js**:
- Extracted `_moltPhase` and `_tryCarapace` to handle armor gain and HP conversion separately from the main attack loop.
- Moved Venom and Molt execution to `_preBattlePhase` to run before `_commanderSkillPhase` and `_attackPhase`.
- Updated pre-attack logic to capture `carapaceGain` for animation purposes without emitting duplicate events.
- Added `moltRestore` logic to regenerate a fresh shell for attackers before they strike.
- **SkillProcessor.js**:
- Adjusted `venom` skill logic to update stacks only if the target is below the new value, preventing redundant updates.
- **BattleScene.js**:
- Updated event filtering and animation pipelines to handle `venomTick`, `carapace`, and `molt` events during the pre-battle sequence.
- Added visual effects (sprites 27-31) and tween animations for Venom application, Carapace hardening, and Molt shedding/restoration.
- Implemented `_restoreMoltForDisplay` and `_reapplyMolt` to ensure the UI renders pre-combat states correctly before animating changes.
- **CardManager.js**:
- Added `baseArmor` tracking to support Carapace cap calculations.
- **Data**:
- Updated `missions.json` to refine Xeno enemy lineups for missions 014 through 020.
- Updated Xeno card assets and UI images.
- **Data Updates**:
- `cards.json`: Changed a skill from `rally` (preBattle) to `strike` (preAttack) with global effect.
- `missions.json`: Swapped opponent cards in the raider mission roster (`raider_berserker_1` -> `raider_grunt_1`, `raider_reaver_1` -> `raider_scout_1`).
- **DeckBuilderScene.js Enhancements**:
- **Visual Feedback**: Distinguishes between "unavailable" (greyed out) and "deck full" states. Cards remain visible when the deck is full, but the Add button turns red.
- **Fusion Lab Integration**: Adds a pulsing "Fusion Available" overlay on assault cards where the player has 3+ spare copies, linking directly to the `FusionScene`.
- **Button States**: Refined Add button logic to display specific messages for available, deck-full, and unavailable states with corresponding colors.
- Added 13 new Bloodthirsty cards (common to legendary) including Countess Vireska commander
- Implemented 4 new skills: siphon, drain, bloodpact, and bloodrage with full combat engine support
- Created Chapter 2 campaign (8 missions) with progressive difficulty and unique lore entries
- Added corresponding audio effects (bloodrage.mp3, drain.mp3, siphon.mp3) and card art assets
- Implemented visual animations for all new skills:
- Drain: projectile to primary target + splash damage to neighbors + green heal return particles
- Siphon: blood-red projectile with glow effect that heals attacker
- Bloodpact: red flash for HP loss followed by ATK gain animation (handles self-destruction)
- Bloodrage: red pulse and ATK boost display when below 50% HP
- Updated CombatEngine to handle preBattle death checks (bloodpact can kill cards immediately)
- Modified BattleScene to sequence new skill animations within the combat flow
Adds a 5-level scaling system to all cards with progressively increasing stats and skill values. Introduces a campaign structure with unlock conditions, level requirements, and completion rewards that grant new cards and player level-ups.
Key changes:
- Refactored `data/cards.json` to use a `levels` array for stat progression
- Added `data/campaigns.json` defining 5 faction campaigns with mission lists and rewards
- Updated `CardManager.createInstance()` to accept a level parameter and resolve stats accordingly
- Implemented save migration (v1→v2) to track player level and unlocked campaigns
- Added `CampaignSelectScene` for browsing unlocked campaigns by faction/level
- Added `SkirmishSetupScene` allowing players to choose card levels for skirmishes
- Enhanced combat engine to pass level data to both player and AI decks
- Implemented visual animations for new skills: `enfeeble` (ATK reduction) and `jam` (skill suppression) with floating text feedback
- Updated UI components (Collection, Deck Builder, Store, Fusion) to display Level 1 stats by default
