Features

"Custom Moveset Pack" implements three new weapon behaviours, which are assigned to a weapon by applying the following tags (this is done automatically by the mod):

Bastard These are the slow and heavy weapons that were originally held in one hand. Weapons tagged with Bastard feature a dynamic "grip", which has the following benefits:

• Held in one hand, but will be swung with two hands if the left hand is available.
• Receives a juicy damage bonus when swung in two hands
• The two-handed animation is speeded up to take the same time as a one-handed swing animation.

Finesse These are the fast and lightweight one-handed weapons. Weapons tagged with Finesse have the following benefits:

• Their regular stationary special attack is replaced with a swift tripple attack combo that can be chained into other attacks.

Holy These are the weapons that has a lore related reason to be holy weapons. Weapons tagged with Holy have the following benefits:

• If and only if the weapon is infused with a lightning damage infusion, 30% of the total wepaon damage is converted to lightning.
