[New Gear]
1. New SSR Core for Bow: Ember Blaze. When equipped, you can shoot three arrows in succession. On hit, they leave Embers that ignite upon subsequent hits, dealing damage based on the ember stacks.
2. At 5-star, Ember Blaze increases the max ember stacks and has a chance to trigger consecutive ignitions. At 9-star, the interval between the three arrows shortens. At 12-star, hitting a target after defeating one adds extra Embers.

[Mimicry Adjustment]
1. We've noticed that Pressure Waterbomb was challenging to use due to long intervals and high skill requirements, such as managing ammo counts for buffs of Fight to Win or Die and Economical. Here's what we've adjusted:
Shortened the damage interval of Pressure Waterbombs for better performance during short optimal damage windows, aiming to enhance usability and visual impact.
Instead of not consuming ammo, the Pressure Waterbomb now uses a special ammo type and the extra damage to single targets is also removed. We've increased the overall base damage, making it easier for Survivors to achieve pre-adjustment damage levels without needing complex skills.
The Pressure Waterbomb effect now lasts until the ammo is depleted or the duration ends, slightly longer than the ammo depletion time, minimizing situations where Survivors can't fire the last waterbomb due to insufficient charge time.
Due to the increased waterbomb frequency, we've slightly reduced the effectiveness of the Acid Echoes amplification, allowing it to benefit from the Pressure Waterbomb adjustments without being overpowered.
2. Increased the growth cap for Wailing Beam's additional damage to improve its effectiveness against high-armor enemies.
3. Fixed the issue where switching weapons during Berserk Battle could prevent removing the Seriously Wounded state.
4. To enhance the performance of Duel Moment during prolonged use, we adjusted its amplification effect, allowing more frequent use of Core skills when wielded for extended periods.
5. Noting that entering the Blaze state with Blazing Wildfire was challenging and often ended before energy depletion, we adjusted the amplification effect, making it easier to enter and extending its duration.
6. New Ember Blaze Amplification: When igniting, Ember Blaze now has a 20% chance not to consume Embers. This boosts stacking efficiency and can significantly increase ignition damage when combined with Core's consecutive ignition effect.

[Other Improvements]
1. Manual fertilization and pest control at the Border Farm now supports accessing materials from your manor cabinet! No need to carry fertilizers and other supplies with you anymore! The Federation will continue developing technology, and starting October 23, all tools like the farm's processing station will also be able to use supplies from your manor cabinet.
2. Border Farm now supports team assemble! You can now be summoned by teammates to stages while farming in Border Farm without returning to the Camp Downtown.
3. Optimized EXP storage logic. After reaching the server level cap, EXP required for the next level can still be accumulated.
4. Optimized the navigation logic for development items in your backpack. Survivors can now directly jump to the development interface through materials.
5. When you have maxed out your Potential, Accessories, and talents, or possess enough materials to do so, the materials in the Mall will display as "Saturated."
6. Fixed the item levels and charisma points for the Phantom Tale outfit and Flying Pumpkin backpack.
7. Survivors can now better simulate Farstar City treasure hunt combat scenarios in Levin City's Victory Arena.
8. Fixed the issue where some Mutation Core Optional Chests couldn't be stacked in storage.
