📋 About This Mod

Icefrayed Blade - a reimagining of the Frayed Blade katana from Dark Souls 3

This can be equipped on all katanas via the ash of war menu.

Light Attack: Unleash a flurry of slashes with a blindingly fast blade.

Heavy Attack: Cut through the air to generate a devastating cross slash.

Release Hold: Evade backwards, leaving a frozen mist in your place.

Important Notes

  • []The parts folder is necessary for the sheathe to behave properly during the light attack.

    []I have made unsheathe available for all Katanas in the ash of war menu. However, Rivers of Blood and Dragonscale Blade don't have functioning sheathes and will not use the sheathe during the light attack.
