This mod is a big combat overhaul changing several gameplay mechanics, inspired by sekiro and a bit of DMC, without getting too far away from vanilla. Includes moveset changes for +30 weapon types, and reworked almost every spell and ash of war, most of them being now completely new and unique. Uses Sekiro Style Deflections with my own edits, and changed a lot of animations to make the gameplay feel unique and fluid. Added "Ultimate Arts" mechanic, with 19 new ultimate attacks for most weapon classes. Also changed consumables and greases, and 9 new starting classes



 

• ALL +200 SPELLS EDITED, most of them can be casted with no movement restriction (or are casted with a mobile animation), designed to be agile to be able to cast in more situations. A lot of them are now completely different, varying if charged or not, or may combo when casting with the other hand
  

• All spells use 1 slot, base memory increased to 6 (max to 14) and removed stat requisites. Seals are now used to cast sorceries as well. Holding a seal will passively recover your FP
  

• NEW ULTIMATE ARTS MECHANIC: Hitting with your weapon and deflecting enough times in a period of time will build up accumulation points of yourself (like bleed or other status but without a bar). When reaching the accumulation point threshold, black and white lightning will appear on your character, meaning you can perform the Ultimate Attack with the heavy attack input (R2 / RT / Ctrl+Click). Performing an Ultimate Art will reset the accumulations.
  

• WEAPON CATALYSTS: By infusing a weapon with Magic, Sacred or Occult, the weapon will be able to cast spells instead of strong attacks (like Carian Sorcery Sword). This gives a lot of options to the combat, like dual wielding and cast spells at the same time
  


• Consumables and throwables overhauled, turned into “skills” meaning that they become reusables, cost FP and have new throwing animations, and vanilla tools now cast a unique skill. This includes almost every offensive consumable item.
• Greases are now reusable and cost FP, changed the visual effect of most greases, added 2 new greases: Meteorite Grease (looted from Onyx Lord), Crimson Meteorite Grease (looted from Astel Star of Darkness) and Ghostflame Grease (from Deathbird in Liurnia)
  

• Spirit Summons Rework: can be summoned and de-summoned indefinetly, and can be used in most places. Added/replaced 11 new spirit summons
  

• RANGED WEAPONS REWORKED: Bows animations changed, very agile archery.aiming with a longbow turns you into "stealth" mode (not actually invisible, but pretty fast) which lets you shoot with motion, making bow gameplay a bit different. also reworked speed of bows' AOWs. also sped up usage of great bows and ballistas
• Light bows are now Gut's hand crossbow from Berserk, can only be equipped in left hand, weapon model from here
  

• Pistol/handgun moveset that replaces the Crossbows. Kalé might sell them bolts for a good price. Pistol models from Guns Mod - No Reload 
  


                                                    


• Sekiro Deflects from Sekiro Deflection mod with my own edits. Deflecting does poise damage to the attacker. Shields become useless
  

• Sekiro-like movement and dodge, backsteps have different animations with iframes, changed some block stance animations, changed flasks animations, changed running/walk/idle animations for each weapon type (light, heavy, poleblades)
• Cancel anytime with block when attacking with light weapons (2 handed or dual wielding), and dodge cancel windows highly increased
• Crouch in movement to slide (with i-frames), also backsteps now have i-frames too
  

• New light and heavy weapon riposte animations
  

• STAFF MOVESET. They cannot cast spells. But they are not useless. Cast unique spells with each different attack
