Starshard Heroes

THE KRAKEN UPDATE

KRAKEN – FULL REWORK
- New tentacles: rebuilt from scratch. They curve out of the back module, sway as you move and end in claws that open and close. The rings no longer jitter.
- Arm-walking: double-tap Space and the arms really step across the ground. It's now much faster: about 6 blocks/s walking and 8.5 blocks/s sprinting.
- Wall climbing: walk into a wall and the tentacles grab on and pull you up. Hold Shift to hang in place.
- Fold arms (K): the arms retract into the back module and come back out with K. Using any ability deploys them automatically.
- Red attack mode: in attack mode the arms glow red, so it's easy to tell when they're active.
- New Arm Shield: all four arms form a ring in front of you, with a spinning hexagonal energy barrier between them.
- Visible in first person: you can now see your own tentacles.
- Smoother animations: no more snapping when switching modes or finishing an attack.
- Fixed: holding Space no longer makes Kraken fly.

THROWN WEAPONS (STORM HAMMER, BOOMERANG SHIELD, TIDE SPEAR)
- Throwing: weapons leave from your throwing hand, and your arm swings through.
- Storm Hammer flight: it flies straight, head first, without tumbling.
- Sticking: weapons no longer sink sideways into the floor or clip through walls. The hammer always lands head-down and drops off ceilings.
- Recall (Z): stuck weapons shake loose before flying back to you.
- Catch pose: while a weapon returns, your arm reaches out to catch it. Each weapon has its own pose, and it works in first person too.
- Breaking the block: if you break the block a weapon is stuck in, the weapon falls.
- Flashbang: it now bounces cleanly and rests on its side.

NEW HERO GUIDE
- Book redesign: the guide is now a leather-bound two-page book with bookmark tabs and page-turn animations.
- Search and filters: search plus class filters (Fighter, Tank, Mage, Elemental, Tech, Support).
- Hero pages: story, rotating 3D item, power rating, recipe and illustrated ability cards.
- World chapter: reworked, and now shows ammo recipes and the rare materials.

RECIPES & FIXES
- Now craftable: Meteorite Fragment, Thunder Amber and Ancient Rune Stone.
- Root Boots: no longer show the black/purple missing texture.
- Translations: remaining Turkish text (config file, error message, HUD labels) is now properly translated.
