About this mod Machine translation

Replaced defensive stance animation with Ashina's cross-cutting stance animation

Guard stance to Ashina Cross stance

🎮 **A "Sekiro" module focusing on animation replacement**

✨Mod Inspiration

This module is inspired by the Art of Tomoe module, which replaces the defensive posture animation in the game with the handsome Ashina cross-cut posture animation.

🎯 Design Concept

Why make this mod when there are already so many animation replacement mods out there?

The author does not want mods that replace attack animations and add fancy special effects, because these mods sometimes affect attack timing (such as the Art of Tomoe and Ashina Arts mods), which often bothers the author.

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.
