NEW: Endurance

A defensive stat that reduces incoming melee damage and unlocks powerful passive abilities at higher levels.

- Reduces melee damage taken based on equipped armor pieces (requires at least 1 piece equipped)

- Scaling: 0.5% reduction per piece at level 1, up to 22% per piece at level 20

- Maximum damage reduction cap: 70%

- Additional bonus based on total armor points: Low +0.1%, Medium +0.3%, High +0.5%, Extreme (25+ points) +1.0%

- Unlocks at level 5 — Passive Thorns: reflects a percentage of melee damage back to the attacker, scaling from 5% at level 5 up to 50% at level 20

- Unlocks at level 20 — Force Field: a single-charge passive shield that fully absorbs one melee hit and reflects 100% of the blocked damage back to the attacker as an instant counterattack. Recharges automatically every 60 seconds. Melee only — projectiles neither trigger nor consume the shield

- Upgrade cost scaling: levels 1-10 cost 95 per level (95 - 950 total per level); levels 11-20 double the base cost (2,090 - 3,800 per level)
