Combat Mechanics

• Perfect blocking should deny enemy grabs to maintain melee range.
• Implement animation cancels such as canceling spells into melee, melee into block, and melee into jump for better responsiveness.
• Consider overhauling the combat system to be closer to a fighting game system.
• The goblin enemy in the upcoming mod will have a unique biting attack instead of using swords, making it distinct from other enemies.

Quality of Life

• Reduce the number of clicks required to get up from a knocked-down state. Consider making it a single click after being on the ground for 3 seconds.
• Address AI voice and cut-in issues by checking configuration settings or reporting bugs.
• Report any flickering issues with specific scenes or elements (like Aradia and Vandetta's game over scene) in the gallery to help developers address them.
• If you encounter difficulties understanding translations or information from Discord, seek summaries or clarifications from other players or moderators.

Game Balance

• Adjust enemy spawn rates to ensure they do not overwhelm the player's control mechanics.
• Fine-tune parameters in the config file for better balance without needing to disable the mod entirely.
• Be aware of the corruption bar and its effects on gameplay. Understanding enemy icons can provide strategic advantages in combat.
