So basically it is working by Attack behavior revamp mod's mechanism.

I made the whole moveset fit to this mod and Stances

it is assigned to be a one-handed sword animation in Dynamic Animation Replacer

but if you want to change it as a katana section, just do it in your DAR, it has no coded files. 100% hkx animation files only exist.

Installation

(Imperative that you should know there are bit of requirements and some adjusting works in advance)

1. Meet the requirements, just download and install all the files you need

2. Use Mo to install it or manually just paste the unziped folder to overwrite the 'meshes' folder in your game installed loot.

3. Always start with a fresh nemesis patch, just so we can avoid dirt/unused edits left with the old one

-------------------(for CGO user setting)---------------

3. (option)If you want to use CGO with this mod, The 1hm_behavior in CGO has to be deleted

(if you already did because you are using 'Attack behavior revamp' mod just skip for this one.)

4. Always start with a fresh nemesis patch, just so we can avoid dirt/unused edits left with the old one

(Check the 'CGO' and 'hit frame fix' in checkbox for nemesis patch)

5. in CGO's MCM settings, you need to have locked power attacks to avoid the bad blending.

6. Ready to run!

💡 Beginner Tips
