TowerShieldRebalance

Tower Shield Rebalance

English | Русский

Rebalances all seven tower shields of vanilla Valheim: stronger block armor, better upgrade scaling, optional return damage on block, optional removal of enemy knockback and new resistances / weaknesses for every shield. Everything is configurable.

Features

• Stronger base block armor - configurable percentage bonus (BaseBlockScale, default +20%).
• Better upgrade scaling - configurable flat bonus to the block armor gained per upgrade level (UpgradeBlockScale, default +4, for a total of +10 per level).
• Return damage on block (toggle) - the attacker takes damage based on the shield's block armor (including your Blocking skill). The damage is between a minimum and a maximum percentage of the block armor (default 10% - 30%). The Blocking skill has a bigger effect at low levels and a smaller one close to level 100.
• Disable knockback (toggle) - tower shields no longer push enemies away when you block.
• New shield bonuses (toggle) - every tower shield gets its own set of resistances and weaknesses (see table below).
• All settings can be changed in-game with Configuration Manager and are applied instantly. You need to reconnect to the server or local game for changes to block power and resistance reworks to take effect.

Перебалансировка всех семи башенных щитов Valheim: усиленный блок, лучший прирост от улучшений, необязательный ответный урон при блоке, необязательное отключение отталкивания противников и новые сопротивления и уязвимости для каждого щита. Всё настраивается.
