Make tower shields great again!!!
- Tired of the same boring gameplay with bows and sniping everything from the distance ?
- You are a beefy tank inside willing to use shields and do close combat ?
- Do not like that bucklers are op and parry is over abused mechanic ?
Look no more, we make best tower shields !
Mod changes :
- Adds knockback damage to the enemies when you block them. Damage is the blocking force * scaled to your blocking level. Meaning if the shield has block value of 50 and you your blocking level is 20 then you deal 11 damage when knocking back mobs.
Some math below:
blocking factor = blocking level / 100 = 20 / 100 - 0.2
real damage blocked (value in parenthesis) = shield blocking value * (1 + blocking factor * 0.5) = 50 * (1 + 0.2 * 0.5) = 50 * 1.1 = 55
knockback damage dealt = real damage blocked * blocking factor = 55 * 0.2 = 11 damage
- Increase base blocking value of all tower shields by 20% and quality upgrade up to 100% progressively,
- Adding pierce resistances to all tower shields, and serpent gets 4 resistances,
| Name | blocking base old => new | Quality increment old => new | New quality 3 blocking | Resistances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood tower shield | 10 -> 12 | 6 -> 9 | 30 | Pierce |
| Bone tower shield | 32 -> 38 | 6 -> 11 | 60 | Pierce |
| Iron tower shield | 52 -> 62 | 6 -> 13 | 88 | Pierce |
| Serpent scale shield | 60 -> 72 | 6 -> 15 | 102 | Pierce, Spirit, Lightning, Slash |
| Black metal tower shield | 104 -> 124 | 6 -> 18 | 160 | Pierce |
| Flametal tower shield | 140 -> 168 | 6 -> 24 | 216 | Pierce |
Knockback damage is displayed as grey damage (pointed by orange arrow) when you are blocking with tower shield (Hard setting):
These shields have 10% increase in stamina consumption for run, walk and 25% decrease in speed (vs -20% in vanilla).
Highly recommending ReliableBlock mod to play, thus adding as the dependency.
