Summer Weapons v1.0

Most weapon plugins are stat sticks with a fancy name. Players swing, deal slightly more damage, and move on. There is no identity, no decision-making, no reason to care which weapon you brought to the fight.

SummerWeapons fixes that. Each of the 10 weapons has a passive mechanic and an active skill on right-click. Solbrand builds Verdict marks and executes Condemned targets with a Singularity Nova. Tidecutter drowns enemies with stacking Soak before pulling them into a Tsunami Surge. Dewdrop Edge heals on hit and blinds rivals inside a Sea Smoke dome. These are not stat tweaks. They are full combat identities wrapped in a blazing summer theme.

• Solbrand Builds Verdict stacks per hit. At 5 stacks, target becomes Condemned with Glowing debuff. Active: Singularity Nova - deals AoE damage and knockback. Condemned targets take 2x damage.
• Tidecutter Applies Soak stacks on hit. Damage scales per stack. At 5 stacks, target is Drowned (Levitation + Slowness III). Active: Tsunami Surge - dash forward, pulling enemies toward you along the path.
• Sunflare Blade Charge-based mobility weapon with 2 charges. Active: Solar Dash - dash in your facing direction, dealing phase strike damage to enemies in your path and leaving a burning trail.
• Dewdrop Edge Lifesteal: heals 14% of damage dealt. Builds Chill marks; at 4 stacks applies Slowness. Active: Sea Smoke - creates a mist dome that Blinds and Slows enemies while granting you Speed and Resistance.
• Emberlash 35% ignite chance. 1.45x damage vs burning targets. Active: Inferno Whip - creates a persistent ember field with expanding fire rings that set enemies aflame.
• Scorchwake Applies Heatstroke mark. Marked players take 28% amplified damage and reflect 28% of their own outgoing damage back onto themselves. Active: Ozone Ring - expanding fire rings that apply Heatstroke.
• Reefbreaker Applies Shatter marks with upward knockback. 1.35x damage vs shattered enemies. Active: Coral Eruption - expanding coral rings that Slow and Shatter all targets hit.

• Heatwave Bow Arrows ignite and Slow targets. Applies Heatstroke mark. Active: Solar Rain - target a location to call down fire projectiles that create persistent heat zones with expanding ring pulses.
• Monsoon Crossbow Applies Conductive mark. Arrows chain lightning to 3 nearby enemies (90% chain damage). Pierces 2 targets. Active: Thunderlash - dash forward leaving a lightning trail, then burst at the endpoint.

• Coral Aegis Blocking builds Reef Energy (max 3 charges). 40% chance to reflect damage back. Active: Reef Collapse - consumes all charges to fire expanding coral shockwaves. Damage scales with charges consumed.

◆ Combat Engine

• Stacking mark system: Verdict, Soak, Heatstroke, Chill, Shatter, Conductive - each with configurable caps and durations
• Chain lightning targeting from Monsoon Crossbow with dynamic entity selection
• Ground zone persistence: ember fields, heat zones, dash trails, and coral rings with tick-based damage
• Ozone backlash: damaged attackers take percentage reflection damage

◆ HUD System

• Action bar feedback: real-time cooldowns with decimal precision, charge indicators (●/○), and mark stack counts
• Contextual ability messages: "Nova Ready", "Ozone Applied", "Conductive Burst", "Phase Strike"
• Full MiniMessage support with hex colors and gradients

◆ Visual Effects

• Expanding ring pulses with configurable ring count, radius, and particle type
• Dash trails, burst explosions, and mist dome effects
• Four color palettes: Sunset, Ocean, Gold, and Coral - all config-driven
• Particle throttle: max particles per tick to keep server performance stable

◆ Protection & Compatibility

• WorldGuard integration: respects PVP flags for ability damage and ground effect placement
• Citizens integration: prevents accidental damage to NPCs
• AntiCheat bypass: temporary Themis exemption during movement abilities to prevent false flags
• PlugManX soft-dependency: hot reload support
