BCard type 25 is the most widespread effect in the game — 1344 skills declare one — and nothing reads it.

A skill does not carry the effect. It carries a BCard saying "with N% chance, apply Card number M", and M is a real entry of Card.dat with its own duration and its own BCards:

11: Has a %s%% probability of causing [%s].
12: There is a %s%% chance that %s will be removed.

Which field is which

FirstData is the percentage, SecondData is the card id. The names settle it:

skill prob. card
Star Attack 60% 7 — Blackout
Hit of Rage 2% 4 — Anger
Blood Oath 100% 17 — Blood Oath
Suppress 100% 19 — Suppressed

1340 of the 1341 ids a skill names exist in Card.dat.

Worth stating, because reading it the other way round is easy and quiet: with 2759 cards spread over ids 0 to 4440, FirstData is also a valid card id 1278 times out of 1341. Checking whether the number exists gives the wrong answer with a crushing majority. What separates them is the shape of the columns — 32 distinct values on one side, 780 on the other. An id does not repeat 717 times; a probability does.

Who receives the card is not in the BCard

Battle Cry declares "100% of card Battle Cry" and is a self-buff. Suppress declares its card with exactly the same structure and is a debuff on the enemy. The difference lives in the skill's TARGET section, which the file writes as bare numbers with no sentence explaining them — so the files cannot answer it, and I did not guess.

This therefore hangs off a blow that has landed, where the question does not arise: the entity that took the damage is the one the card goes on. Skills that damage nobody never reach the path, so self-buffs are outside it by construction rather than by omission — that is 704 of the 1341 declarations, the ones whose TargetType is 0. The rest needs a capture of two casts to settle; the bf packet names the entity that receives the buff.

Notes for review

  • BuffService.ApplyAsync already did the right thing, bf packet included, and had no callers. Only ApplySkillBuffAsync was used, which turns the skill's own BCards into a lasting effect — a different thing.
  • HitQueue.TryApplyHit becomes async. It was returning Task.CompletedTask throughout; the effect a blow carries has to follow it, not race it.
  • CardCatalog / ICardCatalog also appear in Worn equipment does not affect a character's stats #2293, where EquipmentStatsService needed them first. They are self-contained — two lists that the container already registers, because PersistenceModule registers a List<T> for every IStaticEntity. Whichever of the two PRs lands first, the other rebases and the duplicate disappears.
  • Swapping the two fields fails three of the seven tests.

Walkthrough

The change adds card and B-card catalog lookups, introduces inflicted-card processing, and integrates asynchronous processing into qualifying hit handling. Tests cover chance evaluation, buff application and removal, missing cards, and updated HitQueue construction.

Changes

Inflicted card flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Card lookup and service contracts
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/BattleService/ICardCatalog.cs, src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/BattleService/IInflictedCardService.cs, src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/BattleService/CardCatalog.cs
ICardCatalog defines card and B-card lookups. CardCatalog indexes cards and returns empty results for missing keys. IInflictedCardService defines asynchronous skill-card processing.
Inflicted-card processing
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/BattleService/InflictedCardService.cs, test/NosCore.GameObject.Tests/Services/BattleService/InflictedCardTests.cs
InflictedCardService filters buff BCards, evaluates configured chances, removes matching buffs, and applies referenced cards when definitions exist. Tests cover application, removal, chance boundaries, unrelated effects, and missing cards.
Hit handling integration and validation
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/BattleService/HitQueue.cs, test/NosCore.GameObject.Tests/Services/BattleService/HitQueueTests.cs
HitQueue awaits inflicted-card processing for qualifying non-killing hits. Tests provide the new dependency and verify asynchronous completion and killing-hit behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b43f2

The PR changes hit processing to apply cards declared by skills, but the test suite does not directly verify that integration, so a regression could silently stop inflicted effects from being applied. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to add that focused assertion.

Taken — and it was the same shape of hole this PR is about, one level up.

InflictedCardService had seven tests; the step that reaches it had none. Both HitQueue cases passed an anonymous IInflictedCardService mock, so removing the call, or inverting its condition, broke nothing.

Named the mock in both:

  • landed hit — asserts InflictAsync ran once, with the target and the skill's BCards
  • killing hit — asserts it never ran. Poisoning a corpse costs a packet and a buff icon on an entity that is about to stop existing, and it matches the guard the existing buff application already had.

Checked by breaking it, since that is the only thing that proves a test: removing the call fails one, inverting !killed fails two.

Right again, and it is the sharper version of the last one: a Verify passes whether the call is awaited or fired and forgotten, because Moq answers with a completed Task either way. So the test defended that the call happens and not the one property TryApplyHit was made async for — and fire-and-forget is exactly what this used to be.

Added a separate test: the mock returns a task that stays pending, and the hit must not report itself finished while it does.

I did not assert the ordering with a bare "is it complete yet", which would race the worker. It waits, and the wait can only fail in the safe direction: if the call is awaited the hit can never complete, so the delay always wins. A loaded machine can make this pass when it should not, never fail when it should not.

Putting the _ = back fails it.

Both taken, and the first one is the sharper of the three so far.

The signal. The test leant on a delay alone, so it also passed on a machine slow enough that the worker never reached the call — a pass for the wrong reason, which is exactly the failure mode this PR exists to fix. The mock now signals on entry, the test waits for that signal, and only then asserts the hit is still unfinished. The remaining delay covers only the negative half, where it can fail in the safe direction.

The finally. Right, and worse than it looks: a failed assertion left the queue's worker parked on a TaskCompletionSource nobody would ever complete, for the rest of the run. The gate is released in a finally now.

Putting the _ = back still fails it.

* fix(combat): worn equipment did not affect a character's stats

`CombatComponent` is created all zeros in `MapWorld` and nothing ever writes to
it. `BattleStatsProvider.ReadCombat` reads it, gets zeros, and falls back to the
level+class base tables - which its own comment describes as the fallback "when
the inventory system hasn't populated CombatComponent yet". Nothing populates
it, so that fallback is the only path there has ever been.

The consequence is that a character in full gear fights exactly like a naked
one. It raises nothing and looks fine, because the base tables give plausible
numbers: the only way to see it is to put two characters side by side.

`EquipmentStatsService` reads the worn pieces and sums what they carry;
`BattleStatsProvider` folds that in before the buffs, so a buff that multiplies
attack sees the weapon. `CardCatalog` comes with it because the item BCards
need a way back from a Card id to the Card - a third of every skill's effects
go through that reference.

Two things the service gets right that are easy to get wrong, both noted in
place: an item's stats live BOTH on the static Item and on the instance (the
part that changes with upgrade and rarity) and both have to be added; and a hat
contributes defence but no damage.

12 tests. Build clean, 392 green in GameObject (was 380), everything else
unchanged.

* fix(equipment): the effects of the worn pieces reach the combat stats

EquipmentStatsService collected the BCards declared by every worn piece and the
caller dropped them: ApplyEquipment added the flat fields only, and the fold ran
over the active buffs alone. Gloves promising "defence +25%" were parsed right,
stored right, listed right, and never applied.

Worn pieces and buffs now fold in a single pass, the way GetStuffBuff sums both
in the sibling codebase. One pass and not two because the percentages multiply:
folding them separately would give each a different base.

The test equips a piece whose only contribution is a Defence.AllIncreased card
and reads the resulting CombatStats. It is the shape of bug that raises nothing
- the item looks correct everywhere the player can see it.

Also finishes the English pass on these files and trims the comments.

* docs(equipment): say what happens to the gear HP/MP today, not what should

The comment promised a VitalityService that writes the entity's ceiling. That
service does not exist here: max HP is still class and level alone, computed
once at login. A reader would grep for it and find nothing.

* chore(cards): stesso commento su tutt'e due i rami che portano il catalogo

CardCatalog compare identico in #2293 e #2304 - sta in tutt'e due perche' e'
autonomo e l'ha chiesto prima l'equipaggiamento. Avevo stretto quel commento
solo sul secondo, e la differenza avrebbe reso il conflitto add/add una scelta
invece che un 'prendi uno dei due'.

* chore: cut the comments back and strip the BOMs

Also removes the Italian left in two of them and the references to another
codebase.

* fix: give the element resistance tests the equipment dependency

BattleStatsProvider gained a required IEquipmentStatsService here, and the two
resistance test fixtures merged since still constructed it with the old
signature. Git merged them cleanly and the compile broke.

Type 25 is the most widespread effect in the game - 1344 skills declare one -
and NosCore read none of them. A skill does not carry the effect: it carries a
BCard saying "with N% chance, apply Card number M", and M is a real entry of
Card.dat with its own duration and its own BCards.

    11: Has a %s%% probability of causing [%s].
    12: There is a %s%% chance that %s will be removed.

FirstData is the percentage and SecondData is the card id. The names settle it:
Star Attack declares 60% of card 7 "Blackout", Hit of Rage 2% of card 4 "Anger",
Blood Oath 100% of card 17 "Blood Oath". 1340 of the 1341 ids exist in the file.

Reading it the other way round is easy and quiet. With 2759 cards spread over
ids 0 to 4440, FirstData is *also* a valid card id 1278 times out of 1341, so
checking whether the number exists gives the wrong answer with a crushing
majority. What separates them is the shape of the columns: 32 distinct values on
one side, 780 on the other. An id does not repeat 717 times; a probability does.

WHO RECEIVES THE CARD is not in the BCard, and the files cannot say. Battle Cry
declares "100% of card Battle Cry" and is a self-buff; Suppress declares its
card with the same structure and is a debuff on the enemy. The difference is in
the skill's TARGET section, which the file writes as bare numbers with no
sentence explaining them.

So this hangs off a blow that has landed, where the question does not arise: the
entity that took the damage is the one the card goes on. Skills that damage
nobody never reach the path, so self-buffs are outside it by construction rather
than by omission - 704 of the 1341 declarations, the ones with TargetType 0.

BuffService.ApplyAsync already did the right thing, `bf` packet included, and
had no callers. CardCatalog is the way back from a card id to the Card, needed
because NosCore.Data keeps the navigation collections internal.

HitQueue.TryApplyHit becomes async: the effect a blow carries has to follow it,
not race it.

Swapping the two fields fails three of the tests.
The two HitQueue tests passed an anonymous IInflictedCardService mock, so
removing the call from HitQueue, or inverting its condition, broke nothing. The
service had seven tests and the step that reaches it had none - which is the
same shape of hole the PR is about.

Named the mock in both. A landed hit now asserts InflictAsync ran once, with the
target and the skill's BCards; a killing hit asserts it never ran, because
poisoning a corpse costs a packet and a buff icon on something about to stop
existing.

Removing the call fails one test, inverting the condition fails two.
…for it

A Verify passes whether the call is awaited or fired and forgotten - Moq answers
with a completed Task either way - so the previous test did not defend the one
property TryApplyHit was made async for. And fire-and-forget is exactly what
this used to be.

The mock now returns a task that stays pending, and the hit must not report
itself finished while it does.

The wait can only fail in the safe direction: if the call is awaited the hit can
never complete, so the delay always wins. A loaded machine can make this pass
when it should not, never the reverse.

Putting the `_ =` back fails it.
… the gate in a finally

Two holes in the test added last commit, both pointed out in review.

It relied on a delay alone, so it also passed on a machine slow enough that the
worker never reached the call at all - a pass for the wrong reason, which is the
kind this PR is about. The mock now signals on entry and the test waits for that
signal first; only then does it assert the hit is still unfinished.

And the gate is released in a finally. A failed assertion used to leave the
queue's worker parked on a task nobody would ever complete, for the rest of the
run.

Putting the `_ =` back still fails it.
