November 2025 (2025-11) monthly summary for Kagekazu/WrathCombo: Delivered two major feature sets with reliability improvements in targeting and healing logic. Implemented Earthly Star targeting options and Lightspeed Burst Divination checks to boost tactical flexibility and reliability across single-target and AoE scenarios. Refined SGE healing rotation by prioritizing Pneuma when Zoe is active and Pneuma is ready, and updated Eukrasia usage to cast when party buffs fall below 50%, with Zoe priority configuration refreshed. These changes enhance survivability, reduce manual adjustments in chaotic encounters, and increase healing throughput. Targeted bug fixes (AST Fixes, SGE Fixes) ensure correct targeting, reliable Divination checks, and proper Pneuma/Eukrasia prioritization under dynamic buff conditions.
