About this mod
The moveset aims to closely replicate Ashina Isshin's moves and chains. With proper "Esoteric Text" (added talismans), players can resurrect at most twice with each of the 3 phases unlocking unique skills. Unlike most accelerated Isshin moves, this mod maintains the original slow motion while compensates player with larger stagger and super armor.

Updated for DLC 1.12.1-4 (2.0.0+)Warning: Update Base Game or Mod may corrupt your save! Disable Steam Auto Update.
Installation: require mod engine 2. Place all files under "mod" folder inside mod engine 2. For sound modding to take effect, need to useVswarte (chain)'sfork of ModEngine2(link broken temporarily and uploaded as optional file for now). Merging guide will be provided once mod and tools become stable after the DLC updates.
The mod adds a new weapon "Ashina Arsenal" with completely overhauled moves. All mod items can be crafted for free (easy OP playthrough), or traded using Boss Remembrance (progressive playthrough). See mod article for technical details. See alsothe video for demonstration(based on initial version but mostly consistent with current version). As the mod becomes stable, I am working on the updated video.
Version 1.4.3 and below (for Game version 1.10.1):Full set of talismans + Tengu Set can be obtained as "Sword Saint" (added class after Wretch) with the "Sword Saint" face/body template.
Version 2.0.0 and above (for Game version 1.12+ with DLC):Full set of talismans + Divine Heir Heirloom (No FP Dummy Left Hand Weapon) + Rejuvenating Water (Boss mod Talisman: double HP but disabled Flasks) + Sword Saint Set + lv 151 (60 Vigor 30 Mind 40 Endurance 60 Arcane) + max Golden Seed and Sacrd Tear + Pureblood Medal +Mohg's shackle + Finger Snap (turn off BGM) and Extreme Repentance (force phase progression) Gestures + Max Level (+10) Sword Saint Arsenal can be obtained as "Sword Saint" (added class after Wretch) with the "Sword Saint" face/body template.
Players can resurrectat most twice with each of the 3 phases unlocking unique skills.
Phase 2: unlocked by 1H + Talisman "Mushin Esoteric Text" (1H Shura flame attacks) or "Ashina Esoteric Text" (2H Katana+Spear Sword Saint). Player must equip "Ashina Esoteric Text" to unlock/maintain 2H Katana+Spear.
Phase 3: unlocked by 2H + Talisman "Tomoe Esoteric Text".
After version 2.1.2, wielding 2H style will grant phase 2 but would lose the phase 1 resurrection if dies during phase 2.
Isshin BGM at phase progression needs to be turn on by performing "Warm Welcome" (once every load/teleport). Later, Isshin BGM can be turned off globallyby performing "Wait" (until next "Warm Welcome") or temporarily by "Finger Snap" (until next Phase progression).
Known issue: the weapon model is buggy with ray tracing on. Turn it off to enjoy this mod. Torrent summon can trigger crash (model/texture loading issues) but you can travel to base map, summon Torrent and then travel back to DLC area before first time calling Torrent in DLC map.
By default skills cost 10/25/40 FP depending on the power. Craft and equip "Divine Heir's Heirloom" on left hand (YES, it is a left hand weapon NOT a talisman) to reduce FP cost to 0. If dll file fromEnlargement Physick and Super Mushroom Modhas been installed, the player can size up 25% (matching typical knights) by wielding the "Sword Saint Arsenal".

Response to requests: I will only consider reasonable revisions of the current mod. I generally have little time for gaming + modding. Now I also want to play my own mod. However, I am happy to mentor wanna-be modders whose career goal is data scientist.
