- Continuing to expand armor and equipment options across vendors and drops.
- More armor pieces are rolling into the game over time so builds can grow beyond starter sets.
### Improvements
- Battle status effects show HUD icons with remaining rounds, plus compact VFX above battlers.
- Steam achievement progress for battles uses the same kill tracking as your medal / knowledge book counters.
### How to try it
1. Launch **Fabled Adventure** through Steam (so Steamworks is active).
2. Fight **Jira**, **Lion**, **Lynx**, **Shamacoon**, **Squishy**, or **Boar** monsters in the world.
3. Check Steam Achievements as kill thresholds unlock each battle grade.
4. Visit **Elara Liquidheart** for potions, and keep an eye on shops / drops for new armor pieces.
