Mythos Exalted – Enhanced Abilities v0.1
Changelog for v0.0.1
I want to get a version of the mod “public” for testing and idea generating. It is set up for auto update
Some of the abilities will be mislabeled / may have broken upgrades. In the worst cases, you will have the max level ability even if you dont have it upgraded (Lunge & Downthrust both are upgraded via the Burning Blade skill in the menu, however it does the same damage either upgrade level; maybe more of a challenge? lol) (Mastering still allows for Eikon swapping as long as you match the correct modified ability to the changelog here)
If you decide you want to use the mod, thank you! Please let me know if you find any issues (Will be better to do it through FFXVI Modding Discord)
I can also release a separate version with just Phoenix Step if it is wanted
Modified NXDs
action.nxd
phoenixskillmove.nxd
command.nxd
Will be incompatible with any mods that modify listed NXDs (until merge loading is a thing)
Load this mod above every other mod besides the ModLoader for it to guaranteed work
“New” Abilities
Phoenix Step – (1.8 Sec / 0.8 Sec Cooldown) Uses Lunge Keybind & Upgrade Icon, a custom “Animation Cancelling” Ability that uses Precision Dodge + Shift Strike to keep combos going and to close gaps (Refer to video in FFXVI Modding Discord for Animation Cancel example)
Precision Windup – Instant Red Bar Windup (most damage version, no need to charge) (Upgrading doesnt do anything yet?)
Phoenix
Phoenix Shift – Increased distance a decent amount, still works normally
Ground Burning Blade – Removed Completely; Replaced with Lunge
Air Burning Blade – Swapped with Downthrust
Lunge – Swapped with “Phoenix Step”
Downthrust – Swapped with Air Burning Blade
Titan
Windup – Removed Completely; Replaced with “Precision Windup”, +2 Seconds to Cooldown
Shiva
Frostbite – Swapped with Permafrost
Permafrost – Swapped with Frostbite
Cold Snap – Added a 21 second cooldown to 2nd press (normally Frostbite) to prevent Permafrost spam (cant see cooldown in game; Cooldown lasts about ~15s from Permafrost ending)
Odin
Odin Lunge – Completely Removed; Replaced by Upgraded “Phoenix Step” (while Arm of Darkness is active)
“Phoenix Step” will execute Flash of Steel while Arm of Darkness is active (instead of Shift Attack default) (In short, Odin Lunge replaced by Flash of Steel)
Techniques
You can loop Phoenix Shift and Phoenix Step for fast movement. Dash, cancel with Step right before the end of the Dash, then Dash again and repeat
Precision Windup also acts as a “Cancel Ability” as I have yet to fix it, but you can also use it to get out of animations if needed
