Ash of War Balanced Expansion

✨ **Brings a richer war gray selection experience to "Elden Ring"** ✨

🎯 Module Features

This mod adds a ton of new War Gray options for every weapon type in the game, all carefully designed to ensure consistency in visuals and game balance to fit perfectly into the vanilla game experience.

🌟 Creative inspiration

When using the large spear, the author wanted to create a Dragon Hunter Ornstein style build, but found that it was impossible to equip the spear weapon with "Lightning Slash" battle ashes. This inspired the author to delve deeper into the War Gray system and discovered many strange limitations between weapon types and War Gray.

🔧 Major improvements

**Fixed many inconsistencies in the original game:**

• Spear weapons can now be equipped with Lightning Slash
• Greatswords and giant weapons can now use Fire Strike
• Unarmed weapons can now be equipped with Determination and Royal Knight Determination
• Perfume bottles get a host of new war gray options
• The new DLC weapon types are no longer limited to a single weapon

🎮 Carefully tested

The author tested nearly every new weapon type/war gray combination to ensure:

• Functions work properly
• No major visual issues
• In line with the game world view setting
• Animation performance is natural and smooth

📋 Detailed change list

**Some important changes:**

• **Winged Stigmata**: Now available on greataxes, sledgehammers and giant weapons
• **Blind Spot**: Now available for Unarmed and Beast Claws
• **Lightning Slash**: now works on spears, great spears, halberds, etc.
• **Fire Strike**: now works on greatswords, giant weapons, etc.
• **Golden Slam**: now available on perfume bottles

🎪 Recommended interesting combinations

**Wonderful pairings discovered by the author:**

• 🪄 Spear weapons + Lightning Slash (the main reason for making this mod)
• 🔥Beast Claw + Flame Pierce
• ❄️ Straight Sword + Ice Spear
• 🦅 Scimitar + Wings
• 🌪️Double-headed knife + rotating gravity thrust

⚠️ Notes

• The range of some war ashes is based on the length of the weapon, and daggers using flame piercing may be harder to hit.
• Beast Claw will have an animation problem where the left hand weapon disappears when using certain war ashes (original game problem)
• The whip weapon cannot display non-default war gray animations properly.
