📋 About This Mod

This mod replaces themodel and textures of "Dante's Devil Sword" charge blade with the look and special effects of "Malos' Monado" from Xenolade Chronicles 2.

The weapon has a custom EFX; when you do the "Condensed Element Slash", the CB will change Kanji and effect-color depending on what element or impact phial the weapon currently has. Try putting the Dante Devil Sword as a layered weapon over different Charge Blades to see the effect!

How to Install:

    []Copy the "nativePC" folder within.

    []Go to the folder where you have installed MHW, where the .exe of the game is located. This is most likely in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Monster Hunter World".

    []Paste the "nativePC" folder in there.

    []Equip the Dante's Devil Sword CB or another charge blade with Dante's CB layered over it.

    How to change the charge-effects' colours:

      [] Open the hm_wp09_01.epv3 with the EPV editor

      []Go to group ID 2012
