Fenix Mantis Blades - Vanilla+ Overhaul

Finally Putting the Blades on Par with the Katana.


The Problem: In the base game, Mantis Blades are the clunky cousin to Katanas. While swords offer clean arcs and control, Mantis Blades are plagued by sloppy sweeps and rigid animation locks that leave you vulnerable

FMB is a mechanical overhaul that re-engineers frame data and engine math. It fixes attack speed scaling and slashes recovery windows to reward player skill and build synergy. No "God-damage" or cheat scripts; just a high-performance weapon system that finally puts the blades on par with top-tier Katanas by making them faster, more responsive, and surgically precise

TLDR:

  • []Attack Speed Scaling Fix: Finally respects Perks like Bladerunner, Flash of Steel, Mods, Cyberware and Berserk stats.[/]

    []Parry Ready: Reduced recovery windows. Instantly Block or Dodge whenever you want.[/]

    []Fast Finisher (Adjustable): Choose between Disabled, Slow-Mo Only, or Always ON to keep your Sandevistan efficient and your momentum high (works for all melee weapons)[/]

    []Center Precision: (Toggle): No wide sweeps. Every hit goes exactly where you aim. [/]

    []Mini Leap (Toggle): Removes "dead-zones" & adds precision lunges on base attacks. Significantly improves Relic Jailbreak responsiveness and tracking [/]


<<< KEY FEATURES  >>>

  • []ATTACK SPEED SCALING FIX

    Finally, Mantis Blades scale dynamically with your build. Fixes the engine’s math to ensure every Perk, Cyberware buff, and Active Mod translates into speed you can actually feel

    []The Tradeoff: For true balance, Mantis now respect the game's exhaustion mechanics. If your stamina is low, your swings will slow down—keeping the combat tactical rather than just mindless mashing[/]

[/]

[]PARRY READY:

Vanilla locks you into long animations, leaving you vulnerable. FMB slashes recovery frames so the microsecond your hit connects, you can block, dodge, or activate Cyberware instantly. Stay reactive, stay lethal

  • []FLOW STATE: Deflecting and blocking now properly increments your combo chain. You no longer lose your 10-hit momentum just because you had to stop and parry a bullet. Stay in the rhythm.[/]

[/]

[*]FAST FINISHER: (Adjustable)

Standard finishers are 5-second "movies" that kill your momentum and waste
