- Apply the new animation logic to both single-target and multi-target Sanctify effects.
- Update attack spritesheet to support the 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.
- 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
- Add PNG artwork assets for Imperial and Raider faction cards (commanders and units).
- Update `BootScene` to dynamically load card images based on `artKey` entries in `cards.json`.
- Refactor `CardObject` to render the loaded image over a faction-colored backing, falling back gracefully if the texture is missing.
- Replace the previous solid background rectangle with a transparent red overlay (`.bg`) for the attack flash animation, ensuring art remains visible during impacts.
