About this mod
Enables timed-block guard parries on small/standard shields and all weapons capable of guarding, but with a tighter window.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Perfectly timing your block now functions as a parry, but with less active frames.
This is to compensate for the lack of recovery frames.
Adds 6 parry frames to the start of the guarding animation for:
- small shields
- straight swords, curved swords, katanas, thrusting swords, daggers, whips, axes, hammers
- spears, halberds
- standard shields
- greatswords, ultra greatswords, curved greatswords, great axes, great hammers
- chip damage negation (100% physical, 75% elemental)
- increased guard stability (all stamina damage nullified)
For offline use only; otherwise, you will be soft-banned. Also available for Dark Souls III and Elden Ring.
Available standalone or merged with the following mods:
- Modern Roll (normal version)
- Better Rolling (w/ Bloodborne dash on light roll) + Better Backsteps + Gesture Cancel Remastered
- Modern Roll (normal version) + Better Rolling (w/ Bloodborne dash on light roll) + Better Backsteps + Gesture Cancel Remastered
