Patch Updates (This Update)

Reduced attack recovery (end-lag) for Elf and Warlord characters: faster, smoother combos
Nerfed damage/attack power of elite enemies.

Enhanced Weapon Trail FX for better combat readability.

Improved camera sensitivity: lock-on aiming and turning feel smoother and more responsive

Improved enemy death flow: refined death animations and hit/kill logic to reduce glitches and stutters

Major performance improvements: deep optimization to reduce stutter and frame drops, especially in intense fights
