⚔️ World Voice: Skills — Major Rework & Expansion

A major overhaul of the original 10 Unique Skills, bringing new mechanics, improved combat behavior, redesigned visuals, better performance, and the arrival of our 11th Unique Skill: Duelist.

This update focuses on making every skill feel more distinct, responsive, and worthy of the world of Tensura.

---

✦ NEW UNIQUE SKILL — DUELIST

⚔️ Duelist joins the roster as the eleventh Unique Skill.

Build Focus by landing successful melee attacks, carefully time your Parry to reduce incoming damage, then convert that momentum into a devastating Final Thrust.

Duelist rewards aggressive melee combat, timing, and positioning rather than simply throwing abilities on cooldown.

---

✦ COMPLETE VISUAL OVERHAUL

Every skill now has a stronger visual identity, with effects designed around its theme and mechanics.

✨ Glowing magical sigils
⛓️ Curse chains
👑 Manifested crowns
⚔️ Cutting arcs
🔊 Suppression waves
🌌 Wish constellations
⭐ Draconic stars
🔥 Improved combat effects

The goal is simple: when a Unique Skill activates, it should actually feel unique.

✦ SKILL REWORKS

🧭 Guide

Improved safe-position tracking, destination validation, escape behavior, and navigation effects.

⭐ Milim’s Soul

Improved Nova projectile handling, barrage timing, reactor safeguards, and draconic star effects.

💰 Looter

Greed Cut now heals for half of the actual health damage dealt.

Gilded Edge grants an exclusive weapon blessing with an effective Looting V effect.

Disabling the passive now correctly removes its aura.

🩸 Avenger

Improved vengeance tracking, Payback targeting, retaliation safeguards, and crimson combat effects.

👑 Hollow Crown

Refined pressure mechanics, enemy attention, temporary mob control, and crown visuals.

⛓️ Scapegoat

Improved burden tracking, Return Burden, False Death, and fear-field integration.

👁️ Last Witness

Improved damage memories, recorded targets, adaptation mechanics, and Final Statement.

🔔 Mute Bell

Improved suppression targeting, vertical aiming, field timing, and silence-wave effects.

⚠️ Paranoia

Clearer threat warnings, improved hostile target detection, and safer panic-defense handling.

🌠 Wisher

Improved miracle selection, healing safeguards, shield handling, and luck-based effects.

---

✦ BETTER SKILL INTERACTIONS

Skills now communicate with each other more reliably.

Prepared melee attacks will no longer activate from spells or projectiles.

Duelist also preserves its prepared state when Scapegoat prevents the player from dying, allowing both skills to work together without breaking their intended mechanics.

---

✦ COMBAT & SYSTEM FIXES

⚙️ Corrected ability timers
✨ Improved Magicule payments
❤️ Fixed repeated healing behavior
⚔️ Fixed incorrect charge consumption
📈 Addressed several mastery exploits
🎯 Improved attack and ability validation

---

✦ TARGETING & PERFORMANCE

Targeting systems have been rebuilt and optimized across the addon.

Improved handling for:

🐺 Pets
🧙 Summons
🤝 Allies
⚔️ PvP targets

Shared Presence Sense cleanup has also been corrected, unnecessary entity scans have been reduced, and visual effects are now better limited to prevent excessive stacking.

---

✦ THE EXPANSION CONTINUES

World Voice: Skills is designed to expand the Unique Skill system with abilities that have their own identity, mechanics, progression, mastery, and visual language.

This update rebuilds the foundation of the original roster while preparing the addon for even more Unique Skills, Masteries, and abilities in future updates.
