Description:

Final overhaul. This mod has excellent synergy with Lord’s Blade: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1433161277

Thank you, Geptor555, for the recent Spanish translation!

Abysswalkers are knights who follow the precedent set by Wolf Knight Artorias: halt the spread of evil through any sacrifice. Unmatched with greatswords, these legendary knights confront monsters and provinces reminiscent of the Abyss. Their exposure to the Abyss corrupts their souls, affecting their demeanor and fighting style. Elegant swordsmen? Raging berserkers? The line blurs depending on the severity of their corruption…

You are highly encouraged to play inside the affliction, and dance between 100 and 200 stress with this character. He gains damage every 10 stress above 100, and gains 10% to most stats in total darkness during his affliction.

Abilities

Abilities are inspired by Abysswalker Artorias’ lore and boss fight in Dark Souls.

Knight Stance

1) Overhead Slam: The Abysswalker strikes with his enchanted sword, doing extra damage to Eldritch monsters.

2) Abyssal Thrust: The Abysswalker glides forward, thrusting his blade into enemies. Extra damage to Eldritch monsters.

3) Feint: The Abysswalker shifts backward, gaining dodge and a riposte with weak damage. The riposte minorly bleeds & blights enemies in addition to marking them. This gives great synergy with the Lord’s Blade class mod.

Wolf Stance

4) Somersault Slam: The Abysswalker strikes with intense force, stunning enemies. He may perform this action twice in a row. Gains extra damage against stunned targets. Less accuracy on the 2nd strike. Causes stress damage.

5) Savage Leap: The Abysswalker leaps onto the back two targets, damaging them and breaking their guards. He suffers stress damage from this ability.

6) Wolf Blood: The Abysswalker flushes his stress into another character, additionally granting them enhanced strength and accuracy. This ability works with trinkets for additional effects (guard, buffs, etc).

7) Embrace the Abyss: This ability changes his stance between Knight and Wolf.

Trinkets

1) Wolf Ring: Gain move resist, stun resist, and minor prot at the cost of stress sensitivity.
2) Covenant of Artorias: Gain crit & stress resist in the dark.
3) Silver Pendant (CC): Gain stress resist, stress damage reduction, and a stress healing reduction. Minor speed nerf.
