Update History

8.0.0

• The first hit's late hit launches at a slightly lower angle (86° → 84°) with reduced set knockback (80 → 68).
• The second hit's sword hitbox is much larger (5.5u → 7.7u) and stretches farther vertically (4u—9u → 3.5u—10u), increasing its range and allowing it to connect more reliably from the first hit.
