Dev Comment: We noticed that some weapons and skills were rarely used because they consumed an entire turn and often did not feel worth it. After some testing, we decided to take the risk of allowing players to perform 2 different actions per turn. As a result, some weapons and skills will become stronger, and certain builds should now be much more viable.

📊 Balance Changes

Weapons:

🟡 All weapons have received adjustments to their damage scaling per level;

🟡 Club, Knife, Pistol, Katana, and Grenade Launcher now gain special effects from level 7 onward.
