Version History v1.2.2 — Elemental Weakness & Bestiary

What's New
■ Elemental weakness
Every enemy now has a weakness to fire, ice, or thunder. Cast the matching spell to deal 1.5x damage with a "weak spot" hit — your three spells finally have a reason to be chosen carefully.

■ Bestiary
A new Bestiary screen (Settings → Stats → Bestiary) lists every enemy you've defeated, with each type's kill count, weakness, and first-defeated date. Take down all kinds of real-world subjects to fill it out. 1.2.2 May 16 v1.2.1 — Critical Hits & Stats

What's New
■ Critical hits
A 5% chance on every attack to trigger a critical strike — double damage, a quick screen flash, and the damage number pops out bigger with a "CRITICAL!" tag. Spells can crit too. You can't aim for it, but landing one feels great. Classic JRPG.

■ Stats screen
A new Stats section in Settings shows your lifetime defeat count and current XP progress bar. See the fruits of your battles at a glance.

Plus
• Minor stability improvements 1.2.1 May 11 v1.2.0 — Battles That Actually End

What's New
■ Enemy HP & defeat loop
Attacks now drain real HP. When the enemy falls, you earn XP — bank
enough and you level up (full HP restore included). Defeated foes
respawn in place so you can grind on any subject you like.

■ AR target bracket
Recognized subjects are now framed with a yellow corner reticle [ ]
that pulses gently. The actual subject stays in view — the bracket
just confirms "yes, that's your enemy." The HP bar floats right above.

■ "!" encounter intro
A big yellow "!" pops the moment a new enemy appears, channeling
the classic JRPG encounter feel.

Improvements
• Faster auto-scan response (up to 5s → up to 2.5s)
• Manual enemy-naming mode is back (Settings → Enemy → Manual)
• Swipe-to-delete and bulk-clear for the name history

on the spot
