Power Attacking and Blocking
2 minute read
In this mod list, we use Dual Wield Parrying SKSE to modify our block hotkey to Mouse Button-4, and For Honor Power Attack to modify our power attack hotkey to Mouse Right-Click. Since not everyone may have a mouse with additional buttons, these may need to be changed. Below you will find instructions on changing your block key. If you want to change your block key back to the Mouse Right-Click, then you will need to remove For Honor Power Attack and use One Click Power Attack. This is currently unsupported.
Changing the Block Key
In the left pane of Mod Organizer, use the search bar at the bottom to search for “Dual Wield”. Double click the “Dual Wield Parrying SKSE” mod.
Click the “INI Files” tab at the top, and click the “DualWieldParryingSKSE.ini” file on the left tab.
You will need to set the “ParryKey” value to a number that corresponds to a key, mouse button, or controller button “Dec” value at this link. Do NOT set or use the “ParryKey2” value. Due to the below reason, you can only use one block key.
If you do change your block key, you will also need to change the block key in the Compatibility section of Valhalla Combat’s MCM. Dual Wield Parrying uses a different system to send the blocking action to the game, and Valhalla needs to know which key is initiating this separate action to properly start a timed block.
Changing the Power Attack Key
If you want to change your power attack key, you will need to use the One Click Power Attack NG mod, removing For Honor Power Attack from the mod list before doing so. I cannot provide support if you decide to use this, as there are a number of issues involving initiating certain types of power attacks when using this mod instead. Read the mod description and posts!
