This mod aims to rebalance two handed weapons in Valheim. The goal is to put them in the same ball park as one handed weapons combined with a parrying shield.
In Vanilla, the swings are slow, eat a lot of stamina, and don't really hit as hard as expected from a purely offensive stance.
Features
- Adds a skill called Slayer
- Each level of the skill raises two handed weapon damage by 0,5%. 50% increase at level 100.
- Each level of the skill lowers the pushback distance on being hit while attacking by 2%. Complete pushback immunity at level 50.
Installation
Use a mod manager, or drop the "plugins" folder from the zip into your Bepinex folder.
Future Plans
- Attack speed bonus based on the skill level (I'm thinking of making it stronger for slower weapons)
- Dual Wield weapons are currently also affected by the skill, I'll see how their balance turns out and fix it if needed.
- Config file with options to change the skill's damage bonus and other features.
Compatibility
Compatible with EpicLoot. Not sure about other mods affecting weapon damage.
