📋 About This Mod

OVERVIEW

Standard version: decreases the Rush / Rush Chain I / Rush Chain II cooldown duration from 8 seconds → 6 seconds.

Extended version: decreases these cooldowns from 8 seconds → 4 seconds.

This move is your primary gap closer, and making it somewhat more frequently available enhances overall mobility. It's especially helpful for diving in and out of enemy groups to maintain aggression, but also generally improves overall combat flow.

Versions combined with my mods Improved Perfect Defense (see that mod's page) and/or Improved Air Dash also available.

Also compatible with the Lite version of my Hardcore Mode mod.

INSTALLATION

• download one version of the mod from the files tab (default or Extended version)

• create a ~mods folder in your local game directory's Paks folder

- if using Steam, this path can be found by right-clicking the game and selecting "Manage" → "Browse local files"

- i.e., ".../steamapps/common/StellarBlade/SB/Content/Paks/~mods"

• extract the .pak, .utoc and .ucas files to the ~mods folder

To uninstall, simply delete the 3 installed files from the ~mods folder.

COMPATIBILITY

This mod should work with anything that doesn't also edit SkillTable.uasset. Note that my other Stellar Blade mod (Improved Perfect Defense) also edits this file - if you want to use them both together, download a combined version and only install one such mod at a time.

A commonly noted conflict is with the Faster Drone Scan Cooldown mod, which also alters SkillTable. As creating alternate versions of every existing version of all of my mods which adjust that file isn't feasible, I've added an optional add-on file that simply removes the unlock cost for both drone scan upgrades. This can be used with any version of any of my mods (except Hardcore Mode), and can also be used standalone.
