KeenCombat

Version 1.0.0 — Updated for Valheim Deep North! Brand new skills for magic! Quashed bugs, full multiplayer sync, and more!

Adds a unique skill to every martial weapon AND magic staves (most) in Valheim!

---

How does this mod work?

UPDATE: Keyboard and Mouse Users can rebind the Keen Combat skill (using a configuration manager)!!

Every weapon gets a unique skill, activated with its own button:

• Mouse & keyboard: Left click attacks, middle mouse is your heavy attack, and Z activates your KeenCombat skill. Both the skill key and the heavy attack style can be changed in the config.

• Controller: Since controllers have no spare button, the heavy attack moves to a press and hold of the normal attack, and Right Trigger activates your KeenCombat skill.

Who is this mod for? Those looking to put a bit more action-combat into their Valheim experience. This mod is designed for players looking to add a new, unique take on Valheim's combat. Spend more time playing and less time preparing!

MARTIAL WEAPON SKILLS

Blink Strike (Sword): Dash forward in the direction the camera is facing, striking all enemies in your path.

Bulwark (Mace): Flex and fortify yourself, reducing incoming damage and regenerating health for a short time.

Frenzy (Axe / Dual Axe): Let out a battle roar (a cry many of you Vikings have heard before), temporarily boosting your attack speed and movement speed.

Falcon Blitz (Atgeir / Spear): Unleash a rapid six-hit flurry, locking yourself in place while striking everything in range.

Rapid Fire (Crossbow): Fire six bolts in quick succession in the direction you are aiming, consuming no ammunition.

Assassination (Knife): Vanish into the shadows with a familiar sound (to some of you). Enemies lose track of you. Press the skill button again to unleash a devastating backstab.

Whirlwind (2H Sword / 2H Axe): Spin twice in a devastating double sweep, carving through all enemies around you while moving forward.

Poison Mayhem (Dual Knife): Leap backward and drop a cluster of poison bombs at your original position, dealing direct and poison damage to all nearby enemies.

Onslaught (Fist): Launch into a ferocious forward combo, that staggers enemies. Finish with a powerful lunge that damages all enemies in a long line ahead.

Earthquake (2H Mace): Slam the ground and send four shockwaves rippling forward in sequence, dealing heavy damage to everything in their path.

Primal Rally (Bow): Call a wild beast to fight by your side. The creature summoned depends on your bow. The beast follows you, attacks your enemies, and despawns after one minute.

| Bow | Summon | |---|---| | Crude Bow | 2★ Neck | | Finewood Bow | 2★ Boar (triple health) | | Huntsman Bow | Bjørn | | Draugr Fang | Abomination | | Spinesnap | Lox | | Ashlands Bow | Morgen | | Ashlands Storm Bow | Fallen Valkyrie | | Ashlands Root Bow | 1★ Asksvin | | Ashlands Blood Bow | 2★ Fenring Cultist | | Frostfire Bow | 2★ Stone Golem | | Bloodlightning Bow | Morgen |

Larger creatures are scaled down to a more manageable size. Custom bow creature mappings (including size, damage and health) can be added in the configuration manager for full mod compatibility.

MAGIC WEAPON SKILLS — NEW!

Staff skills cost Eitr instead of using a cooldown. Blood Magic skills also cost health — but never enough to kill you.

Meteor Strike (Staff of Embers): Call down a storm of meteors on your position for 12 seconds. Each meteor hits as hard as a fireball from the staff. You're slowed while you commit to the cast, so choose your ground wisely.

Ice Nova (Staff of Frost): Unleash a burst of frost that deals double frost damage and freezes nearby enemies in blocks of ice for 8 seconds. Frozen enemies can't move — but they can still swing if you get too close! When the ice shatters, they stay slowed for a few more seconds.
