📋 About This Mod
中文区玩家请直接下载MOD文件获取玩法说明，以下为英文指南
This is a complete overhaul mod for the combat system. Before playing this mod, you must forget the original combat style of Elden Ring and adapt to a new mindset.
Overall, this mod transforms the player's combat approach, giving Elden Ring a more conventional ARPG experience with enhanced interactivity during boss fights (similar to The First Berserker: Khazan, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Rise of the Ronin, or Black Myth: Wukong). It does not intentionally make the game harder or easier.
Although boss movesets remain unchanged, trust me—your battles against bosses in this mod will feel entirely fresh. Familiar bosses will become unfamiliar under this revamped combat system.
Interactivity is the core philosophy of this mod!
Block enemy onslaughts, counterattack swiftly, switch between offense and defense seamlessly, and let your adrenaline surge!
