Really like the remaster, but there are some areas where it could be improved.

Alternative balance for Reforged

🌟 **Provide more reasonable game balance adjustments for the reforged version of "Ring of Elden"**

---

🛡️ Optimization of blocking system

  • **Blocking stamina consumption adjustment**: The blocking stamina consumption of all weapons is unified to 50 (the two-handed posture will also reduce the stamina consumption), and the shield is 60+
  • **Physical Damage Resistance Balance**: Weapons and small/medium shields have reduced physical damage resistance when blocking
  • **Deflection mechanism enhancement**: Non-perfect deflection can now absorb 30% of elemental damage (originally 10%)

💡 **Design Concept**: Taking part of the damage when the deflection fails is more reasonable than completely losing the stamina bar.

---

✨ Special equipment adjustment

**Dancer’s Lucky Charm**:

  • Each deflection restores an additional 10 FP points + 0.5% of maximum FP

**Regeneration effect optimization**:

  • The regeneration effects of the Blessed Dewdrop Talisman, Blessed Blue Dewdrop Talisman, Blessing and Magic Affinity effects now work outside of combat.

---

⚔️ Weapon balance adjustment

**Yue Yin**:

  • Blocking no longer releases waves
  • The R2 attack is changed to the same horizontal slash and horizontal magic wave as the sword.

**Lelana's Double Blades**:

  • Adjustments to the first attack animation
  • The animation speed of the third magic attack (R1) of Moonfire Stance has been increased

---

🎯 Game experience optimization

**Animation acceleration**:

  • The animation speed of elixir drinking and self-buff casting is increased (such as Golden Tree Oath, Black Flame Blessing, Scholar Arms)
  • The Golden Tree Oath now only increases attack power, but does not increase defense power.

**Status effect adjustment**:

  • Toret no longer accumulates status abnormality effects
  • Swamp direct damage still works

**Convenience improvements**:

  • Removed animation for picking up materials

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
