-- Added **Golden Skulls per second/minute/hour** display to the game screen. -- Implemented **partial crit chance overflow**: any crit chance above your class max is now partially converted into crit damage. -- The **Succubus' flying head** companion now resets its attack timer when an enemy dies, just like the player. -- **Dark Benediction** no longer refreshes its timer if already active, but will **now update its bonus values** if the newly triggered effect has higher damage/health modifiers. 🧪 **Coming Soon** -- Inventory screen updated in preparation for the **Item Set Bonus system**, coming in a future patch! --- 🧠 **Developer’s Note** Patch 3.45 was all about improving performance, especially in long or idle-heavy late-game runs. If you continue to experience lag or odd behavior after this update, **please report it directly** so we can keep optimizing!
