📋 About This Mod

Zodiac Phantom Aqua has been ported and adapted from 0. 2, and is fully functional. (Anti-Aqua is still intact.)

Minor changes to her offensive and defensive stats have been made to better match KH3 data fights.

She can also be fought in the Gold Match of the Coliseum.

If you want to change character for the fight, like to Aqua, the mod is compatible with C-mod's data battle character select.

Steam Instructions

The Steam Deck update isn't compatible with map edits.

This can be fixed by taking out or deleting all files ending with _0_P.pak from your Paks folder.

This seems to have no negative consequences, neither on PC nor Steam Deck.

Changes

The unblockable revenge attack has been given invincibility and can no longer be parried, this was done to avoid infinite combos.

Attacks that are designed to attack from behind are now 360 blockable.

Anti-Aqua's attacks have been made 360 blockable, as Phantom Aqua spawns her clones.

Health scaling has been added, and adjusted to match data battles.

Status immunities and damage resistances have been changed to better match data battles.

Unblockable attacks have been changed to Dark attribute, was Fire.

Blizzard attacks have been changed to Blizzard attribute, was Physical.

Installation

Unzip the file and put it in "/KINGDOM HEARTS III/Content/Paks/~mods/".

Compatibility

Should be compatible with most mods, but mods that change the main file for Garden of Assemblage will remove the mirror to the bossfight. Mods that alter Aqua or Anti-Aqua could also cause unexpected behaviour.

Bugs

The 0. 2 voice files appear to use the text localization setting instead of the voice setting.

Special Thanks

Huge thanks to sabertooth222 for all his help with debugging and guidance with the AI. This would for sure have been much harder and taken much longer without his help.

Thanks to Luigi0121 for providing the Japanese voice files.

And as always, big thanks to the OpenKH modding Discord.

For Modders

If you want to reuse her for anything else, her pawn reference is /Game/Blueprints/Enemy/e_dw405_s100/e_dw405_Pawn_s100.

The arena map is /Game/Levels/dw/dw_07/dw_07_2.

If you want to alter this mod to make your own version, I would prefer it if you ask first.
