📋 About This Mod
Ok, the closest thing we can have now to a proper dash is this quickstep animation replacement , Thanks to Modder Kirnifr that made this possible, now you can Quick Step instead of fast roll (below 30% Equip Weight)
Its Done with Cinders in mind, so its compatible with Cinders so far (1. 58-1. 59) , if you haven't play it yet, I recommend you to do it :)
Kirnifr for the replacement :)
Vawser for cinders :)
Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, focused change that does exactly what it says
- Community-tested with 156 endorsements and 3,408 downloads
- Lightweight mod that won't bloat your game
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Fast Roll animation—other rolls remain unchanged

For Dark Souls 3 players who want a fresh look for their roll animation without overhauling the whole game. If you're tired of the default roll and like the QuickStep style, this is a quick swap. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original animation files before replacing them, so you can revert if needed.
- If you use a mod manager, check if it supports animation mods for Dark Souls 3 to avoid manual file conflicts.
- Since the mod is from 2019, test it after any game updates to ensure it still works.
