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[/]
