📋 About This Mod

Reforged is a moveset overhaul mod, focused on expanding the player's options to give more versatility in combat. The main way this is accomplished is by expanding the ways that the player can perform inputs in order to do new attacks and maneuvers. Below you will find the changes made in several areas, which includes some non-moveset changes I felt were fun.

DS3 UPDATE NOTES

With the restoration of online to DS3, the resulting update is incompatible with ModEngine and other resources used. As the user, you have a few options:

- If you haven't already, not update DS3.

- If you have, downpatch DS3. The link will take you to an instruction page. If you still need assistance or would like a visual guide, see the video section.

- If you don't want to downpatch, wait until ModEngine and this mod are updated.*

*There currently exists an updated version of ModEngine and HoodiePatcher on the ?ServerName? discord. You can find the experimental updated ModEngine dll in the mod-announcements channel by Katalash and the updated HoodiePatcher dll in the tool-and-resources channel by NamelessUncertainSomeone. Note that certain ModEngine features will not function such as alt saves.

General

- New standard attacks added to movesets and Forward R1 attacks have been revamped for all classes to be actual attacks.

Backstep Attack: Press R2 during a backstep, this move is generally an alternative type of running attack.

Heavy Left: Press L1 during an R2 charge, must be 1H or wielding a paired weapon.

Block Heavy: While 2H and blocking, press R2, an attack designed to interrupt enemy attacks.

- Sprint turns cancel faster now and have Roll and Backstep attacks as followups.

- Left hand movesets have been expanded and now mirror the right hand moveset more, featuring running/rolling/backstep attacks.

L3 Input

- Now considered a standard input, like R1 and R2.

- Performs Kick as new default action.

- Still performs jump when performing Running + L3.

- Press L3 during an R2 Charge/Stance: Bash, a body attack to interrupt an enemy's attack.

- Press L3 while aiming or readying a ranged weapon: Melee attack.

- Press L3 while running and locked on: Slide, lets you duck under attacks while maintaining momentum, and allows you to pass through enemies.

- Press L3 while holding down the sprint button and not running will perform your running L3 action with a small startup.

Blocking

Timed Block: Raise your guard at the correct time. A Timed Block gives more stability, guard absorption, and deflection.

- Press R2 while having your guard struck: Counter, a boosted version of your Roll attack.
