Although a lot of the new animation are directly from Blubber's repositoy, a large quantity of them have been modified in an animation software by me
This means, you MUST ask for permission if you have any interest in using this mod's assetsThis mod offers new animations for almost every Katana and GreatKatana attacks, makes them all buffable and able to change their Ash of War (even Unique katanas) and implements a well rounded R1/R2 combo system, here's the combo list
1H Katana : R1(4)-R2
2H Katana : R1-R1-R2 / R1(4)-R2
1H Great Katana: R1-R1-R2
2h Great Katana: R1-R1-R2
Big thanks to Blubber and his repository, this mod would've been impossible to make without him

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 163 endorsements and over 9,200 downloads.
- Transforms katanas into a more versatile weapon class, addressing a common complaint about limited movesets.
- Author claims it can convert even vanilla katana haters, suggesting a significant improvement.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in June 2025 — check compatibility with the latest Elden Ring patch before installing.
For Elden Ring players who love katanas but feel the vanilla movesets are too repetitive. Also for those who want to apply buffs and Ashes of War to any katana for more build variety. Skip if you're happy with the default katana movesets or prefer gameplay mods that add new weapons instead.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod changes movesets, test it in a low-stakes area like the Church of Elleh to get a feel for the new animations.
- If you're using other gameplay mods that alter weapon movesets, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
- Back up your save before installing, just in case the mod causes unexpected behavior with your current build.
