MixKickingFightingStyle

Turn your feet into weapons with nine biome-themed pairs of fighting boots. Kicks trade mobility and stamina efficiency for reach and impact, while fists retain their role as a faster, more flexible fighting style.

What it does

Adds nine craftable, upgradeable kicking weapons, from Meadows to Deep North.
Uses the Unarmed skill with custom four-hit combo animations.
The fourth combo hit deals 1.5x damage. Earlier hits retain their normal multiplier.
Heavy attacks deal 1.25x damage with greater stagger and a slower, committed animation. Movement and cancellation are locked during the attack and recovery.
Adds hit-stop and recovery time, with longer recovery after a missed attack.
Includes boot models, inner white leg wraps, biome textures and weapon lore.
Plains through Deep North recipes use the Black Forge. Earlier weapons use the Workbench or Forge.

Requirements

Path of Valheiman is optional. Its weapon classification treats these weapons as Fists/Unarmed, Paired and Melee; individual node conditions still apply.

Deep North recipes reference Gold, Frostwood and FrostCore. Your game or content mods must provide these materials for those recipes to be usable.

Installation

Install with Thunderstore Mod Manager after installing the requirements. For manual installation, copy the included BepInEx folder into your game or profile folder.

Keep Assets/mksboots beside the plugin in the supplied folder structure. Remove older duplicate copies of MixKickingFightingStyle.dll before installing. Restart Valheim after updating. Players in a multiplayer session should use the same mod version.
