This update brings foundational improvements to enemy behavior and progression mechanics, enhancing both the strategy and excitement in every run.

🔫 Enemy Behavior Overhaul

• New Enemy Action System (SCRUM-192)
  Introduced a scalable action system enabling custom behaviors for all enemy types. This system forms the backbone for future special abilities, coordinated attacks, and more.

• Ranged Enemies Added (SCRUM-188)
  Normal enemies now have a ranged variant! These foes will stop at a set distance and fire projectiles at the tower. Expect them to be a consistent threat in mid-range engagements.

• Enemies Now Fire Projectiles (SCRUM-196)
  Implemented ranged attack logic, allowing certain enemies to launch projectiles at your tower. Dodge mechanics aren't in yet—brace for impact!

🧠 Trigger System Implemented

Enemies now react dynamically based on battlefield conditions via three new triggers:

• HP Trigger (SCRUM-193)
  Triggers when an enemy's health drops below a threshold. Can be used to initiate second-phase behavior or panic effects.

• Time Trigger (SCRUM-194)
  Activates after a specified duration in battle—useful for delayed attacks or transformations.

• Range Trigger (SCRUM-195)
  Triggers when the enemy reaches a specific distance from the tower—perfect for ranged enemy AI or boss positioning.

📚 Technical Improvements

• Tech Notes In Progress (SCRUM-156)
  Initial documentation drafted for the newly implemented Enemy Action and Trigger Systems. These notes will aid future devs in expanding enemy complexity and designing unique encounters.

🔜 Upcoming Work (In Backlog)

• Deck System Infrastructure (SCRUM-183) – Will allow backend support for card deck groupings and deck-based relic synergies.

• Balance Changes (SCRUM-191) – A fix is queued to equalize card rarity during early testing.

• Enemy Health Scaling (SCRUM-149) – Planned update to scale enemy health per wave and increase long-run difficulty.

Let us know what kind of enemies, triggers, or card combos you'd love to see next! And as always—stay frosty, stay strategic, and keep rushing the Nexus. 🚀
