v0.52.13 - Assassin Audit, Localization Sync & Bug Fixes
Assassin Class Audit
New Ability: Biaxin (Level 35)
Coat your blade with a rare paralytic toxin that deals damage, poisons the target for 4 rounds, and corrodes their armor (-40% DEF for 4 rounds). Requires a dagger. Works in single-monster, multi-monster, and PvP combat.
New Passive: Lethal Precision
- +25% critical hit damage when wielding a dagger
- +10% bonus damage against poisoned targets
- Synergizes with Biaxin and other poison abilities
- Visible in /health Active Buffs
Execute Ability Fix
The Execute ability had no handler in either combat path -- Warriors, Barbarians, and Assassins using it dealt zero bonus damage. Now properly applies tiered bonus damage: 2x below 30% HP, 50% bonus below 50% HP.
Arcane Shield Spell Feedback
Protection spells now show prominent success/failure messages when cast. The D20 roll system causes ~45% failure rate for untrained casters, but previously there was no visual feedback. DEF display in combat status now shows a (+X) breakdown when a magic AC bonus is active.
PressAnyKey Spacebar Fix
"Press any key" prompts in Steam/desktop builds now accept spacebar and any other key. Previously required pressing Enter.
Comprehensive Translation Pass
Full audit and translation of all remaining English placeholder text in secondary languages:
- Hungarian: 714 keys translated
- Italian: 762 keys translated
- French: 915 keys translated
Categories covered: combat messages, alchemist/cleric abilities, boss mechanics, enchantment procs, prestige passives, home/relationship dialogue, prison walk, street encounters, and more.

- 9 monk potion vendor keys translated in Hungarian and Italian (were showing as raw key names)
- All 5 language files synced to 16,473 keys with zero missing functional keys
