v0.0.3 Changes


Fixed issue where some modified abilities did not work in Chronolith Trials

You can now Magic Burst after a "Phoenix Step" / Precision Dodge Strike


Full Changelog


Some of the abilities will be mislabeled / may have broken upgrades. In the worst cases, you will have the max level ability even if you dont have it upgraded (Lunge & Downthrust both are upgraded via the Burning Blade skill in the menu, however it does the same damage either upgrade level; maybe more of a challenge? lol) (Mastering still allows for Eikon swapping as long as you match the correct modified ability to the changelog here)

If you decide you want to use the mod, thank you! Please let me know if you find any issues (Will be better to do it through FFXVI Modding Discord)


Modified NXDs

action.nxd
phoenixshiftmove.nxd
command.nxd

Planning on editing skill.nxd to reflect ALL changes made by the mod on the in-game ability menu (NOT ADDED YET)

Merge loading is out today (10/12/24). As long as you have the ModLoader updated and Merge Loading Enabled, you can use this mod with hopefully any other mod. Load this mod Mythos Exalted at THE TOP OF YOUR MOD LIST, directly below the FF16ModLoader

"New" Abilities


Phoenix Step - (1.8 Sec / 0.8 Sec Cooldown) A custom "Animation Cancelling" Ability that uses Precision Dodge + Shift Strike to keep combos going and to close gaps. Attack + Jump to use and Upgrades via "Lunge" in the ability menu. (Refer to video in FFXVI Modding Discord for Animation Cancel example)

Precision Windup - Instant Red Bar Windup (most damage version, no need to charge) (32s Cooldown at Base, 28s Cooldown Upgraded)

Precision Upheaval - Instant Red Bar Upheaval (most damage / big aoe version)


Phoenix


Air Magic - Replaced with "Air Charged Magic" (Will instantly use Charged Magic in air for combos)

Phoenix Shift - Increased distance a decent amount, still works normally

Ground Burning Blade - Removed Completely; Replaced with Lunge (Hold Attack on Ground for Lunge)

Air Burning Blade - Swapped with Downthrust (Will instantly use Burning Blade in air for combos)

Lunge - Swapped with "Phoenix Step" ("Custom" ability, look at section above for details)

Downthrust - Swapped with Air Burning Blade (Hold Attack in Air for Downthrust)


Titan


Windup - Removed Completely; Replaced with "Precision Windup" 

Upheaval - Removed Completely; Replaced with "Precision Upheaval"


Shiva


Frostbite - Swapped with Permafrost

Permafrost - Swapped with Frostbite

Cold Snap - Added a 21 second cooldown to 2nd press (normally Frostbite) to prevent Permafrost spam (cant see cooldown in game; Cooldown lasts about ~15s from Permafrost ending)


Odin


Odin Lunge - Completely Removed; Replaced by Upgraded "Phoenix Step" (while Arm of Darkness is active)

Flash of Steel - Removed Completely; Replaced with Steel Counter

"Phoenix Step" / Precision Dodge will execute Steel Counter while Arm of Darkness is active (In short, Odin Lunge replaced by Steel Counter)


Techniques


You can loop Phoenix Shift and Phoenix Step for fast movement. Dash, cancel with Step right before the end of the Dash, then Dash again and repeat (You can do the same with Cold Snaps dash)
