WeaponArts

WeaponArts

Active abilities ("arts") keyed to the weapon in your hands. Press one key (default C) and the effect depends on what you hold.

| | | |---|---| | | | | Crushing (atgeir): every hit staggers | Taunt (tower shield): the monsters come to you | | | | | Rally (sledge): heal yourself and your allies | Berserk (battleaxe): less damage taken, HP regenerates |

Focus (bow): the next shots are critical, counted in the HUD

The HUD: ready, active, cooldown

Arts by weapon:

| Weapon | Art | Effect | |---|---|---| | 2H sword | Onslaught | more damage for a window | | 1H sword | Bloodthirst | lifesteal from damage dealt | | Battleaxe | Berserk | take less damage and regenerate HP | | 1H axe | Bleed | physical damage over time | | 1H spear | Rend | the target is exposed: more damage from every player | | Pike | Impale | ignore resistances + extra damage | | Atgeir | Crushing | every hit staggers (not bosses) | | Knives | Envenom | strong poison on every hit | | Fists | Fury | a critical hit on every blow | | Bow | Focus | the next shots are critical | | Crossbow | Piercing Bolts | bolts ignore resistances + extra damage | | 2H sledge | Rally | heal yourself and allies around | | 1H mace | Mend | heal the allies in front of you (the greydwarf shaman's green spray) | | Staves (attack, support) | Eitr Surge | more magic damage | | Summoning staves | Legion | the whole squad at once; those already with you are healed | | Staff of the Wild | Overgrowth | several roots at the nearest enemy | | Tower shield | Taunt | pull the monsters around onto you and take less damage |

• Strength and duration grow with the weapon's tier and your weapon skill. Every art has

its own cooldown plus a shared global cooldown.

• Effects only ever touch creatures (PvP-safe); bosses take a reduced share and are

immune to stagger.

• Players without the mod see every effect (vanilla prefabs) and receive heals. With

09 Proxy enabled, a nearby modded player can also act for them: they use the /challenge emote or type art in chat.

• The server's balance settings apply to every client with the mod.
• English and Russian text (follows the game's language, or set 01 General > Language).
• All settings live in BepInEx/config/j1ga.weaponarts.cfg; with BepInEx

ConfigurationManager (F1) they apply in game without a restart.

Install on every player who wants the arts and on the host / dedicated server.

Compatibility

Tested with Valheim 1.0.20 (network version 41), BepInEx 5.4.23.5 (BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2351).

Who needs it

| Who | What | |---|---| | Players with the mod | use their arts with the key (default C) | | Host / dedicated server | recommended: its balance settings apply to every client with the mod | | Players without the mod | see every effect and receive heals; to use arts themselves, 09 Proxy > Enabled must be on for a modded player near them (off by default) |

Known conflicts

• Combat overhauls that rework damage (Character.RPC_Damage) or monster targeting may change how strong the arts are or override the taunt.
• Another mod bound to C — change 01 General > AbilityKey.
