ITEMS

• [NEW] Combat VFX — added new floor daze and sword block clash effects.

• [NEW] HUD Tooltips — hover over the Buso Haki, Observation Haki, Evasive, or Ultimate icon to see its information. On controller, select the icon; on mobile, hold it.
• Buso Haki: view permanent training progress and estimated active training time needed to reach maximum mastery.
• Observation Haki: view permanent training progress and successful dodges needed to reach maximum mastery.
• Ultimate: view your charge percentage and how much more damage you need to fill the meter.
• On mobile, holding Buso or Observation shows its tooltip without activating the ability. Evasive activates immediately on touch, even if you keep holding to read its tooltip.

• [NEW] Loading Screen — new loading screen featuring artwork.
• Battle Royale, Dungeons, and other modes awaiting their own artwork currently use First Sea artwork as a placeholder.

• [NEW] Skill Indicators — available for supported skills on mobile, PC, and console.
• Shows when you need to hold a skill for a different outcome, such as Mera's and Goro's ultimates.
• Shows the remaining time on held barrage skills.
• Shows the remaining travel time when a travel skill has a time limit.
• Can be turned on or off in settings.
• Due to a Roblox engine limitation, the indicator may lag slightly behind your cursor during very fast mouse movements. This does not occur in shift-lock mode.

• [NEW] Trading Filters — find items more easily when choosing what to trade.
• Filter by item category or rarity, and sort by rarity or name.
• Select the same category again to show all categories, or use Reset Filters to clear all filters.

• Display up to 4 items per side, with quantities.
• Choose offers from your inventory and wanted items from the tradeable item catalog. Both support search and category filters.
• Your submitted item selections and optional custom text are saved for your next session. Offered items you no longer own are removed, and offered quantities are reduced if you no longer have enough.
• Unsubmitted drafts are kept if you accidentally unequip the sign or close its editor during the same session.

• Custom Tailor — adjusted the UI to better fit mobile screens.

• Handcuffs — jailed players' handcuffs can be lockpicked again, releasing them from jail.
• Inventory — your most recently acquired items appear at the top during the current session, making new drops and purchases easier to find. Gaining more of an item you already own also moves its stack to the top.

• Optimized Skill VFX
• Bisento: Shockwave Slash.
• Black Leg: Demon Spectrum.
• Cyborg: Machine Gun Blows.
• Dullahan: Onslaught of Shadows.
• Mochi V2: Supreme Mochi Buzzcut.
• Yuki: Snow Storm, Snow Gust, and Snow Blizzard.

• Performance
• Improved performance across combat, effects, dialogue, menus, and game modes by reducing unnecessary processing and improving cleanup.
• Optimized hit effects when skills hit multiple targets.

• PvP Pads — once anyone uses a health or stamina pad, the pads stay enabled until the server restarts. They can still be turned off before their first use.

• Sea Selection — teleporting to the First or Second Sea through the top bar also saves that sea as your main-menu selection.
