Description:
What is this?

This is a quick-fix patch for Musashi’s Samurai Class and LWOTC

Why?

Musashi’s Samurai class uses Templar Focus, and in particular Templar Focus gain on kills.
It does this using vanilla game routes via config and expects Templar Focus to come with it’s pre-bundled Focus Kill Tracker.
LWOTC removes the Focus Kill Tracker. Why is anyone’s guess, but presumably so that Rend doesn’t grant focus on kills.
I mean they could have just removed Rend from the list of perks that trigger focus gain on kills.. but.. meh

What?

This mod gives the Samurai Shinigami perk (or any perk listed in the mods config) the Focus Kill Tracker perk directly.
With the correct config setup (as it is in the base Samurai mod) this allows the Samurai to once again gain focus on kills.
So it can use the focus for it’s perks again.

But..

What this mod doesn’t do is add Pistol Row Perks or any LWotC balancing or Brigadier rank or etc.
The purpose is just to make the base class, as Musashi envisioned it, functional again in LWOTC.

Bonus

Neat little bonuses that would work with or without LWotC;

  • I make the FocusKillTracker be a Unique Source perk.
    This means even if a unit has it from more than one source they will still only gain 1 focus on a kill.
  • I update the Shinigami Focus UI to have a new icon and a unique ‘cherry blossom pink-red’ colour.
    This can be toggled in the config if you want to. Does not effect normal Templar Focus in any way.

Credits
