Update 1-
HOT FIX: apparently there was a big problem with attacks of medium knockbacks against Shinobi owl or father owl boss. He just ignores those hits! Not only that but like I stated in the knockback/stagger types below these 'medium' attacks doesn't work well against many other bosses i.e. they don't stun em like I promised! BUT I fixed that with this hot fix in v1.1 files. Plus I re optimized all the abilities, made some changes to current ones and added new ones. This is the best state of the mod possible as I literally tested everything on almost all enemies/bosses! Lastly sorry for the inconvenience.

v1.1 changes(includes hot fix):
New combat arts modified- Ashina cross and shadow fall

All changes -
>> Ashina cross both slices = medium
Now it annihilates the poise/hyperarmor of the opponent like mortal blade. Try it on white ape, hatred demon, taro troops to see for yourself.

>> Shadow fall first slash = medium

>> Shadow fall second slash = large

>> Whirlwind first slash = medium

>> Nightjar reverse attack = medium

>> Okinaga's/Sacred flame vent continuous flames
Now staggers many enemies even those with high hyperarmor like Owl.


v1.0:
>> Knockback/stagger types <<

• Large = sends human sized enemies flying including bosses
• Medium = greatly stuns the enemy often allowing for guaranteed chaining of attacks if one hit connects
  

The distance to knockback or the distance the enemy will be pushed back has been adjusted to best suit the ability.

NOTE: this mod does not boost the damage of abilities only the knockbacks generated by them.
