📋 About This Mod
Inspired by the amazing Smooth DAR Combat Dodge, I added the dodge animation by Eskyrim to spice things up!
The attack dodge animation will now be replaced to new one if you have light armor skill level 50 or above, and not wearing any heavy armor.
Suitable for those sword dancer characters!

This addon replaces the attack dodge animation in Smooth DAR Combat Dodge with Eskyrim's dodge animation, triggering when light armor skill is 50+ and no heavy armor is worn. A niche cosmetic tweak for sword dancer builds, with 326 endorsements and last updated in March 2021.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 326 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads
- Adds a fresh dodge animation that fits agile, light-armor playstyles
- Conditional trigger keeps it from clashing with heavy armor builds
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the attack dodge, not other dodge animations
- Requires the original Smooth DAR Combat Dodge mod to function
- Last updated in 2021, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions or mods is uncertain
For Skyrim players who love agile, sword-dancer characters and want a more stylish dodge animation. If you're already using Smooth DAR Combat Dodge and want to spice up your light armor dodges, this is a quick addon. Skip if you're not into cosmetic animation tweaks or if you prefer heavy armor combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR) installed, as it's required for Smooth DAR Combat Dodge to work.
- In-game, check your light armor skill level—if it's below 50, the new dodge animation won't trigger.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite files from the base Smooth DAR Combat Dodge mod to ensure the addon takes effect.
