Combat Arts Overhaul

🎮 **Fighting skills have been fully upgraded, retaining the essence of the original version! **

✨ Module Features

As a player who loved the combat mechanics of the original Sekiro, I found them to be classic but lacking in visual impact. This mod is made for just that! I carefully tuned every aspect of the combat technique to make every sword swing feel powerful and beautiful.

🔥 Visual effects upgrade

  • **Dynamic special effects enhancement**: The fog crow feather special effects will appear when running, jumping, using hooks and ropes, and dodging.
  • **Exquisite details**: Small sparks will appear when finishing the sword, adding to the aesthetic enjoyment
  • **Status effects**: Combat skills and prosthetic hand tools will have visual changes in different buff states.

🎵 Sound effects and vibration improvements

  • Comprehensive optimization of combat skills and prosthetic hand tool sound effects
  • Fixed the sound effect issue of Robert's elite monster finishing move
  • Adjusted the camera shake when attacking to increase the sense of strike distance

⚔️ Combat system optimization

Combat skills enhancement

  • Added overlord effect to some combat skills
  • "Cross Slash", "One Heart" and "Dragon Flash" now have block windows
  • After using combat skills, the five-hit combo will not reset but continue with the most appropriate attack.

Improvements to prosthetic hand tools

  • After using the flame spear, additional attacks with "Wedge Pill" will add a flame buff to the weapon.
  • "Rusty Pill" will add poison attribute gain to the sword during the second attack.
  • After using "Yaksha Candy", "Wedge Pill" will gain blood attribute gain

🩰 Brand new action system

  • Modified the animations of some combat skills
  • Adjusted the combination method of normal five-hit combo
  • "Sakura Dance" changes to "Sakura Fall" when used in the air
  • "Night Owl Slash" now has three attack methods (forward + attack, retreat + attack, simple attack), retreat + attack becomes a damage-free dodge

🛡️ Balance adjustment

  • Fine-tuned the damage of "Ashina Cross Slash"
  • The second attack will not be blocked by the enemy
  • The dodge action has been optimized and the special effects of mist crow feathers have been incorporated (special thanks to matalayu for the "The Great Shinobi Dodge" module authorization)

🌟 **This is my first mod to replace animations. I am very satisfied with the results and will use it for a long time. I hope you guys enjoy this mod as much as I do! **

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.
