Simple Guard Counter

dTry's Elden Counter is a great mod, however, due to the fact that dTry hasn't been updated in a long time and the original mod is relatively complex, it may have some compatibility issues and bugs that prevent it from triggering guard counterattack.

So I achieved a similar effect in a simpler way by editing it to add spell annotations and creating OAR conditions. Now you don't need Nemesis for Guard counterattacks in the game, all thanks to the genius of payload interpreter （also by dTry）and OAR.

Overview

Just like Elden Ring, you can press Power Attack key immediately（make sure you are not in blocking animation） after blocking an enemy's attack for a guard counterattack effect. You need OCPA or other similar mod to trigger power attack, Support for MCO or BFCO. Support for MBO.

（To ensure that it triggers the guard counterattack animations 100%, light attacks can actually trigger guard counterattack in MCO, but will do less damage.）

This mod contains my custom spells and payload ini files, I'll consider making it standalone as a requirement to support my other subsequent mods

Features

• []Guard counterattacks deal 50% more damage and add 30% more poise damage, so you can easy stagger enemies.

  []Theoretically compatible with everything since no scripts, plugins, and Nemesis patches are needed.

  []Player and followers can trigger Guard counterattacks with all weapons, but other NPCs can only trigger Guard counterattacks with shields

  []Attack animations used are created by Black，Sound effects from Elden Counter

• New feature: Added a new main file for enabling guard counterattacks when timed-block only. Default time window is 0. 3s, you can change it by modifying the annotation, See “For modders” for details.
