Easier Parry (Slower Attack Animation)

🎮 **Easier to block (slows down attack animation)**

Do you feel like the timing of blocking in Hollow Knight: Silk Song is too restrictive? 😅

This mod makes blocking easier by slowing down the **nail slash** animation.

The attack frame, damage, and overall combat feel remain the same - just slightly slower to give you more reaction time. ✨

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.
