📋 About This Mod
Summary:
This a simple port of the old Skyrim Dual Wild Parrying Reimplementation combined with Skyrim: SE: Dual Wield Blocking and Attack Cancelling SSE. I did not create either of these mods and didn't make the instructions for combining the 2 mods together. This mod requires SKSE64 and FNIS (Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE - FNIS SE - FNIS Behavior SE).
Implementations:
-
[]Add animation cancelling. While winding an attack press your block key to cancel the animation and go to blocking. Can be used like a feint. (May Require Combat behavior improved (SSE version). or TK Dodge to add the cancelling)
[
]Add Blocking for Dual Wielding Weapons.[]Add Keybinding for the new Block key.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,991 endorsements and 127,793 downloads.
- Brings two essential dual-wield combat mods into one package.
- Key-bindable blocking and parrying gives you control over combat flow.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both SKSE64 and FNIS, so setup is more involved than a simple drop-in.
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Combining mods can sometimes introduce conflicts with other combat overhauls.
For Skyrim SE players who want to add blocking and parrying to dual-wield combat without juggling multiple mods. If you're already using SKSE64 and FNIS, this is a solid addition. Skip if you prefer a more lightweight combat mod or don't want to deal with script-heavy setups.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE64 is installed correctly and launched via skse64_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- Run FNIS after installing to generate the necessary animation files, or blocking/parrying animations won't work.
- Check the mod's key bindings in the MCM (if available) to customize your blocking and parrying keys to your preference.
