📋 About This Mod

Valhalla Combat

Valhalla Combat is a modular, consistent, and script-free combat overhaul designed with modern principles in mind. Heavily inspired by modern action games such as AC:Valhalla, God of War, and Elden Ring, Valhalla Combat will fundamentally change the feeling of Skyrim's combat both in 1st and 3rd person, rendering an enjoyable and integrated experience:

  • []Non-intrusive stamina system that fits Skyrim's level design

    []Script-free timed blocking/projectile parry

    []Stun and execution similar to AC:Valhalla and God of War

    [](Planned)Perk mod integration

    [](Planned)An intuitive reaction/poise system

    []Combat actions cost stamina. The details are specified in the following sections.



Attack Stamina

[]Light attacks that hit the enemy regenerates stamina.

[]Light attacks that miss the enemy costs stamina.

[]Heavy attack stamina formula remains unchanged.

[]The logic behind:

[]Encourages an aggressive playstyle that requires precise positioning and timing

[]The more enemies surrounds you, the easier and quicker you're able to regenerate stamina by a
