✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 185 endorsements and over 16k downloads, so it's got a solid track record.
- Fixes the janky stamina math from the original, making blocking feel more consistent.
- Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul combat, just tightens up an existing mechanic.
⚠️ Cons
- Only fixes one or two specific inconsistencies—don't expect a full rebalance of blocking mechanics.
- Requires the original Shield of Stamina mod to work, so you're adding an extra dependency.
- Compatibility risk with other combat overhauls that alter stamina or blocking calculations.
For Skyrim players who already use Shield of Stamina and want the stamina drain to behave more predictably. Skip if you're looking for a complete combat overhaul—this is a targeted fix, not a rebalance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Shield of Stamina mod installed first, as this update replaces its files.
- If you use a mod manager, let it overwrite the original mod's files to ensure the fixes apply.
- Test blocking against a few different enemy types to see how the stamina drain feels with your current stamina regen rate.
