For Honor in Skyrim Animation Pack 5.3

For Honor in Skyrim Animation Pack 5.3 - Update Overview

This update introduces significant changes to stagger mechanics, parry system, dodge mechanics, and follow-up attacks.

1. Stagger System

Previously, the stagger effect was applied to an enemy at the moment of impact. However, in the new stagger system, enemies struck while swinging a weapon will now receive stagger.

• Multiple enemies can be staggered if they are hit during a single weapon swing.

• However, this new method does not apply when using Precision.

• Attacks utilizing Precision mechanics (such as unarmed strikes) will continue to use the previous stagger application method.

2. Parry System

A new parry system has been introduced:

• Parry can now be executed by pressing backward movement + normal attack key.

• Successfully parrying an enemy's melee attack will deflect the strike and inflict a strong stagger on them.

This addition enhances defensive combat mechanics, making melee engagements more dynamic.

3. Dodge System

• The previously used directional attack mechanics have been replaced with dodge mechanics.

• While dodging, players can seamlessly transition into normal attacks or power attacks at any time.

• Additionally, a directional power attack system has been introduced, allowing for more fluid and responsive combat actions.

4. Follow-up Attack System

• Successfully landing a charge attack or parry attack will cause the enemy to stagger heavily, recoil, or even fall.

• At this moment, executing a power attack will trigger a follow-up attack.

• The follow-up attack is a jumping strike that slams down onto the enemy, dealing significant damage.

Additional Notes

• Please refer to the update table for details, as these changes are not applied to all classes yet.

• This update is intended to test the new system and determine its future direction.

• Many animations have been remade, and while an introduction video was planned, the decision to replace directional attacks with dodge mechanics is still under review. A poll will be conducted, and once finalized, showcase videos will be created.

Future Plans

• March Goal: Complete all Vanilla weapon-type classes and upload them to Nexus Mods.

• Afterward, all remaining classes will be remade and added progressively.
