DESCRIPTION - WHAT IT DOES

• Compiles over 68 different "special attack" animations into a singular mod, activated through Additional Attack.

• Gives all weapon base types an Additional Attack function with their own unique animations.

• Includes 14+ base type animations and over 54 special weapon animations.

• All weapons have animations, and can be overwritten by the Ashes items.

• Ashes items are crafted at a Forge, purchased from Blacksmiths/Vendors, and will overwrite any weapon's Additional Attack with the specific Ashes'.

• Functions through the Additional Attack framework, includes keywords for an (attempted) integration with base Skyrim for modding or Nolvus/LOTD/NewArmory keywords. The keyword lists are not perfect. If you do not have the associated weapons installed, you will not have access to that animation.

COMPATIBILITY - WHAT CAN THIS WORK WITH

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH:

• You can't equip things in the same item slot as it (54).

• My previous Additional Attack mods. (Most of them are in this pack anyways.)

• Not compatible with any other Additional Attack mods. (Requires further testing as they use similar folder structures/naming)

COMPATIBLE WITH:

• Elden Rim.

• Any mod that modifies weapon attack animations. (Adding new weapon animations such as Warden moveset, etc)

• Any mod that modifies character animations. (Walking, running, jumping, etc.

• Any mod that adds extra attacks (One Click Power Attack/MCO, etc, assuming the activators aren't bound to the same key)

• Any mod that adds extra weapons. (As long as the mod author set the type, and/or keywords properly they will work.)

INSTALLATION - HOW TO GET IT

• Hard Requirements are a 100% necessity to install.

• Soft Requirements are a suggestion, not needed. (They include new reskins, items and weapon types.)

• Make sure to follow Additional Attack's installation and set up process. (Set your key, etc in the MCM after installation/Nemesis.)

• Requires no power usage for requirements that had a power associated (They're bound to Weapons/Ashes.)

• Install Hard Requirements, load Ashes of War after them. No Nemesis required.
