📋 About This Mod
This mod only work for Long Sword. If you are attacked by monster when sheathing, iai will activate automatically, and in most case it won't fail.
Here are some tips you must know before you install the mod.
The essence of the mod is guard, so it can't work if you suffer an attack that cannot be blocked.
Attack from your teammates can't activate automatic iai.
Your teammates can see that you had used iai successfully though they haven't install the mod. That means you look like a sword master.
Automatic Iai is a QoL mod for Monster Hunter World that auto-triggers the Long Sword's Iai Slash when you're attacked while sheathing. It relies on guard mechanics, so unblockable attacks won't work, and teammate attacks won't trigger it. With over 1,000 endorsements, it's a popular tool for Long Sword mains.
