NEW MINIGAME/DEBUFF

• Grabbed is a variation of the Overwhelmed debuff/qte
• Just like Overwhelmed, the player must mash a key to escape, a progress bar will slowly fill up and when it is full, the player is released from the grab
  • However, unlike Overwhelmed, pressing the key to escape uses a fixed amount of Stamina.
  • Grab difficulty varies from enemy to enemy.
• While in the Grabbed state, the hero's stamina regenerate in real-time, influenced by the stamina regeneration sub-attribute.
  • A new UI element has been added during the debuff so you can keep track of the escape progress and stamina easily
• Being grabbed does not cause time to stop, the enemy will continue to take turns until the player breaks free.
