Update 2-

v1. 2 final version: one mind and other changes

>> one mind first unsheathe slice = medium

Destroys hyperarmor.

>> one mind surrounding cuts = medium

Stun locker

>> one mind final unsheathe cut = large

>> thrust attack after dodging = large

>> High monk changes

Adjusted the  combo a bit such that there is better chance of roundhouse landing on vitality.

>> charged ichimonji, dragon's flash

Destroys hyperarmor.

Update 1-

HOT FIX: apparently there was a big problem with attacks of medium knockbacks against Shinobi owl or father owl boss. He just ignores those hits! Not only that but like I stated in the knockback/stagger types below these 'medium' attacks doesn't work well against many other bosses i.e. they don't stun em like I promised!  BUT I fixed that with this hot fix in v1. 1 files. Plus I re optimized all the abilities, made some changes to current ones and added new ones. This is the best state of the mod possible as I literally tested everything on almost all enemies/bosses! Lastly sorry for the inconvenience.

v1. 1 changes(includes hot fix):

New combat arts modified- Ashina cross and shadow fall

All changes -

>> Ashina cross both slices = medium

Now it annihilates the poise/hyperarmor of the opponent like mortal blade. Try it on white ape, hatred demon, taro troops to see for yourself.

>> Shadow fall first slash = medium

>> Shadow fall second slash = large

>> Whirlwind first slash = medium

>> Nightjar reverse attack = medium

>> Okinaga's/Sacred flame vent continuous flames

Now staggers many enemies even those with high hyperarmor like Owl.

v1. 0:

>> Knockback/stagger types <<

  • []Large = sends human sized enemies flying including bosses[/]

    []Medium = greatly stuns the enemy often allowing for guaranteed chaining of attacks if one hit connects[/]

    The distance to knockback or the distance the enemy will be pushed back has been adjusted to best suit the ability.

    NOTE: this mod does not boost the damage of abilities only the knockbacks generated by them.

    Tldr; List of abilities modified (feel free to find changes by yourself) –

    []Katana thrust[/]

    []Chasing slice[/]

    []Fang and blade[/]

    []Projected force[/]

    []Whirlwind slash[/]
