Elden Power Attack

Did you ever feel frustrated when you

• []pressed the attack key but the attack didn't go off because your character was in the wrong stage of their previous animation?

  []wanted to do a light attack but pressed the attack key 0. 0000000001 seconds too long and accidentally did a power attack instead?

  The first case happens because unlike good fighting games Skyrim has no input buffering at all.

  The second case can in part be fixed by mods like One Click Power Attack or Separate Power Attacks.

  I couldn't bring input buffering into Skyrim (some other modders probably could) but I tried to somewhat alleviate both issues with this mod.

  • []You can now hold down the attack key for as long as you want and you character will do consecutive Light Attacks for as long as the key is pressed.

    []You can now only do Power Attacks the same way Heavy Attacks are handled in Elden Ring's (and Dark Souls) Keyboard & Mouse controls: by pressing the attack key while a modifier key (configurable) is held down.

    DUAL WIELD BLOCK OPTION

    Alternatively to the dual power attack option you can also configure the mod to let you block while dual-wielding or fighting unarmed by pressing SHIFT+LMB+RMB (check the config file included). Other than regular blocking this puts you in a state of constant block with a click, until you press it again. (this doesn't apply when you've got SkySA installed, since SkySA already lets you block with the left key while dualing)

    GREATSWORD & BATTLEAXE DUAL ATTACK INCLUDED

    The mod also unlocks the missing 3-hit dual attack animation for 2hand weapons. <
