Combat Momentum
Combat Rhythm System for Valheim
Description
Combat Momentum is a mod that adds a dynamic combat system to Valheim based on perfect parries.
Each successful parry grants you a stack of Momentum a combat resource that empowers your character in battle. The more stacks you have, the stronger and more dangerous you become against enemies.
Mechanics
| Stacks | Damage | Attack Speed | Crit Chance |
|--------|--------|--------------|-------------|
| 1 | +10% | +8% | - |
| 2 | +20% | +16% | - |
| 3 | +30% | +24% | - |
| 4 | +40% | +32% | - |
| 5 | +50% | +40% | 20% (x2 damage) |
- Each stack lasts 10 seconds
- A new parry refreshes the timer
- Stacks are lost one by one when the timer expires
- At 5 stacks, you gain a 20% chance to deal double damage

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
