Combat Momentum Plus
Notice
This is an updated version of the wonderful CombatMomentum mod by SENEZ, who is the original author and creator. Unfortunately, the original mod is out of date, so I created this version. It has been rebuilt for the release version of Valheim, includes configuration support, and contains bug fixes.
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
How to Play
- Use a shield or weapon to block
- Perform a perfect parry (block within 0.25 seconds of the hit)
- Gain a Momentum stack
- Build up to 5 stacks for maximum power
- Watch the timer on the HUD
Interface
The mod adds an informative HUD to the bottom-left corner of the screen:
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:
