True Deflection

True Deflection A deflection system worth deflecting over and over.

---

I'm a deflection enthusiast, and this mod is my attempt at a parry system that's worth deflecting over and over. What makes a good deflect satisfying isn't just blocking the hit. It's the feeling that the game keeps answering every precise reaction. True Deflection ties those answers together into one complete loop:

Precise input → Clear feedback → Stronger counter → Resource gain → Powerful counterattack

You don't need to memorize the rules. Play by feel, and the system will naturally reward more accurate timing.

Perfect Deflect Perfect window: 200ms On success:

• []Enhanced visual and audio feedback [/]

  []Next Guard Counter: Damage ×1. 10, Stance Damage ×1. 10 [/]

  []+10 Red Eye [/]

---

Ultimate Deflect At the very front of the 200ms Perfect window sits a narrower 67ms window, about 4 frames at 60 FPS. It isn't something you're expected to hit consistently. Think of it as an occasional just-frame reward. On success:

• []Distinct high-intensity red feedback [/]

  []Next Guard Counter: Damage ×1. 20, Stance Damage ×1. 30 [/]

  []+15 Red Eye [/]

  []About 1 second of strong poise and damage reduction [/]

That second is your reward for an exceptionally clean guard, making the counter that follows safer. It won't block a boss's follow-up attacks for you. The read is still yours to make.

Anti-Spam & Chain Deflects Normal guards don't build Red Eye. Only Perfect and Ultimate deflects advance the reward loop. Spamming guard gradually narrows the precision window, so rapid tapping won't keep giving you the full 200ms. Every genuine deflect, on the other hand, opens up room for your next input. The system rewards consecutive correct inputs, not inputs themselves.

Red Eye Max: 50

• []Perfect Deflect: +10 [/]

  []Ultimate Deflect: +15 [/]

  []Normal guard: +0 [/]

At 50, you enter the Red Eye state. Red Eye doesn't give a lasting stat boost. It means you've stored one stronger Guard Counter.

---

Revenge Guard Counter While in Red Eye, your next Guard Counter becomes a Revenge Guard Counter:

• []Damage ×1. 30, Stance Damage ×1. 50 [/]

  []Dedicated enhanced visuals and audio [/]

Afterward, Red Eye ends, the gauge resets to zero, and you start building again. The full loop:

Perfect / Ultimate → Build Red Eye → Red Eye ready → Find your opening → Revenge Guard Counter → Reset

Installation

Requires Mod Engine 3 (ME3).

• []Install the latest official version of Mod Engine 3.[]Open the ME3 folder and locate:eldenring-mods[]Extract the contents of True Deflection directly into that folder.[]Launch Elden Ring through ME3 using the default Elden Ring profile.

Your folder should look like this:

eldenring-mods/

└─ regulation.binImportant: Do not place the files inside an extra

modor

True Deflectionfolder.

If another mod replaces the same

regulation.bin, HKS, sound bank, or SFX files, the two mods will require a compatibility version or manual merge.

True Deflection is intended for offline/modded play. Do not use it on official online servers.

Design Philosophy True Deflection adds no new buttons and doesn't depend on any specific weapon or skill. You still use the vanilla Guard and Guard Counter. The only difference is that the game now pays attention to whether you guarded normally, precisely, or with pinpoint precision. Normal guards stay safe. Perfect deflects give steady rewards. Ultimate deflects give rarer, stronger feedback. And sustained precision eventually builds into one counter that truly hits hard.
