📋 About This Mod
UCHIGATANA
KATANA MOVESET FOR NPCs
Animated Armory is one of the mods that distributes katanas to NPCs and one of the best movesets for such a weapon is the ER Katana.
However, I personally don't like seeing mere bandits using the ER katana moveset.
They look like experienced samurai, and to me, it just doesn't fit them.
So with Black's permission, I converted his old DS3 Katana moveset to SCAR and distributed it ONLY to bandits
that spawn with katanas. It's solely from personal taste. I think this animation fits them better.
So if you want, you can continue using the ER Katana for the player and other NPCs
and install this moveset together just for the bandits.

All credits to Black for the excellent animation.

There are dozens of other great SkySA animations that can be reused like this.
I will seek permission from other creators to prevent such animations from being lost in time.
This mod converts Black's Patreon Dark Souls 3 katana moveset for NPCs to work with SCAR, bringing DS3-style katana animations to Skyrim NPCs. With 345 endorsements and nearly 580k downloads, it's a popular animation mod for players who want more varied and authentic combat moves for NPCs.
