📋 About This Mod

Updated to work with the DLC - last working on regulation version 1. 16. Available on Ab Aeterno's Moveset Modpack.

Adds the Cosmic Lotus Blades, a new paired weapon which possesses a unique 2H moveset and ash of war. You can purchase them at the Twin Maiden Husks (under the "Special Weaponry Shop" option) in Roundtable Hold for 6000 runes (meteoric blade icon). Internal weapon ID is 9100000.

Internally I refer to the blue blade as Azure and the purple one as Amethyst, for related effects and such.

Special features:

  • []R2 held guard stance

    Holding R2 puts you on a guarding stance, during which you block incoming attacks with increased damage absorption. Releasing R2 during the guarding stance performs a heavy attack, which can then be followed up by an uncharged/charged heavy.

  • []L1 + R1: Parry

    Identical frames to buckler parry.

  • []Azure coalescence buff

    After landing a few hits, the blue blade powers up temporarily. While powered up, it summons ghostly mirror images of itself to repeat your lighter attacks (R1 combo, running R1, rolling attack and jumping R1). These mirror images inflict slight frost buildup on hit.

  • []Amethyst coalescence buff

    Same as azure coalescence, but takes a few more hits to activate. Summons ghostly mirror images to repeat your heavier attacks (R2 combos, running R2, alt combo & jumping R2). In 1. 1, these mirror images inflict slight bleed buildup on hit. In 1. 2, these restore 3% HP and 4 flat FP on hit to you and nearby allies. Both buffs can be active simultaneously, affecting most if not all of your attacks.

Ash of War: Adrift Nebula

Imbue yourself with the lotus blades' energy. While imbued, dodge rolling becomes cosmic (improved i-frames & leaves a nebula with exploding azure and amethyst stars behind) but costs FP.

Azure (blue) stars inflict slight frost buildup; Amethyst (purple) stars inflict slight bleed buildup in 1. 1, or deal higher physical damage in 1. 2.

Skill input can be used to follow-up many of your normal attacks to alter your combos:

[]R1 combo: follows up with the rolling attack. You can go quickly back and forth with these (e.g. R1 -> R1 -> AoW -> R1 -> AoW -> ...)

[]Rolling attack: follows up with a 3-part alternate combo, which I refer to as 'alt combo'

[]Running R1: follows up with Running R2

[]Running R2: follows up with Uncharged R2

[]R2 long attack: follows up with the alt combo

[]R2 follow-up attacks
