  Build 10 Available Now! Map Drawing and More

   # ⚔️ Major Update Notes (Build 9.51 → Present) I've been hard at work rolling out a massive batch of new content, gameplay overhauls, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements. Here is the full breakdown of everything added and polished since Build 9.51! --- ## 🌟 Highlights & Major Features ### 1. Ascension System (Levels 0–5)* **Ascension Mode is here!** Put your builds to the ultimate test with per-class Ascension levels (0–5), introducing progressive modifiers and escalating difficulty for veteran players. Ascension mode is pretty basic at the moment, enemy stats get better the higher the ascension. I have some other thoughts for improving this later…. ### 2. Massive Weapon, Armor & Symbol ExpansionA huge armory of new symbols and mechanics has arrived to expand build diversity and deck synergy:* **Bardiche**: Devastating polearm weapon.* **Hand Axe**: Fast multi-striking weapon with double-strike mechanics.* **Cutpurse’s Dirk**: Steal gold directly from targets.* **Rending Dagger**: Weapon designed for executing bleed and precision synergies.* **Runeforged Hammer & Great Sledge**: Heavy-impact bludgeons featuring Channeler bonuses.* **Kite Shield & Warden's Shield**: Defensive powerhouses introducing stack-based **Cleanse** mechanics.* **Quilted Vestment**: Cloth armor generating sustained survivability and health regeneration.* **Sorcerer’s Wrappings**: Magical garment with single-use next-symbol modifier consumption.* **Magnetic Lodestone**-revised: Unique combat utility and fallback morph interactions with *Hero of Ages*. ### 3. New Relics & Overload Mechanic* **Overload Orb (Relic)** & **Overload Rattle (Consumable)**: Chain stacked **Overload Free Spins** to unleash multi-spin burst rounds.* **Locksmith’s Grip (Relic)**: Manipulate locks and symbols with greater control. ### 4. Class-Tailored Starter Kits & Spells* Replaced generic Focus starter setups with **class-tailored signature starting spells** across all character classes.* Adjusted sta...
