✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 4,813 endorsements and 1.4 million downloads.
- C++ rewrite means snappier, more reliable parrying than the old Papyrus version.
- Fixes the annoying double attack bug that's plagued dual wielders for ages.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE64 and a mod manager, so it's not a simple drop-in install.
- Last updated in March 2024 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches if any dropped since.
For Skyrim players who love dual-wielding but hate the lack of parry options and the double attack bug. If you're a melee-focused character who wants more tactical depth, this is a must-have. Skip if you rarely dual wield or prefer magic/stealth builds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE64 installed and launch the game through the SKSE loader, not the default launcher.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install the .dll file correctly — manual placement can cause issues.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your Skyrim version (SE/AE) before installing, as SKSE plugins are version-sensitive.
