Combat Styles

Build your own attack combos!

---

Combat Styles lets you learn attacks from any weapon and chain them into your own combo. It also comes with built-in editors so modpack makers can add their own custom items with unique effects.

📖 Styles

Style Pages Every weapon's attacks are turned into learnable styles automatically. (Not found in loot by default; turn them on in the Drop Pools editor.)	Style Books Hold several styles at once, which can come with affixes.	Style Etcher Middle-click an attack in the customizer to etch it, then right-click to learn it (the Etcher is used up). (Each weapon can only be etched once; changeable in the config.)

• ⚖️ Style Points – Every style you learn raises your style point budget, so you can fit stronger attacks into your sequence. Admins can tune a weapon's base budget by clicking the budget bar in the customizer. A sequence holds up to 10 attacks (changeable in the config).

Editing Attacks (Admin)

Includes:

• Better Combat attributes – everything Better Combat already lets you set.
• Timing – give the attack its own cooldown, or make it hasten the next attack.
• Dragging – the attack keeps finding new targets for a set amount of time.
• Motion – dash, blink distance and i-frames.
• Hitbox offset – move where the attack's hitbox sits.
• Attributes – attribute bonuses that apply to this attack only.
• Identity – hitbox type, swing sound, damage type and attack conditions (dual wielding, etc.).
• Trail color – give the attack a colored trail.

Hits Add extra hits to the attack: a particle, a strike or both, optionally delayed.	Boxes Add more hitboxes to the attack, with hit priority and per-box tuning.
