About this mod
A moveset for Serana and Valerica that makes them fight like true pure-blooded vampires, along with a playable moveset for the player if they are a Vampire.

This mod draws huge inspiration from Attacko’s Boss and Queen of the Damned - Deadlier Serana. With that said, I've given Serana/Valerica a Malenia-inspired moveset from Elden Ring allowing them to perform sick moves. This mod completely changes their archetypes from mage to blademaster, so it might not suit everyone's preferences.
In addition, a playable moveset for player if they are a Vampire and equipped with either a dagger or a sword.
Aside from their hack-and-slash moveset, here are the moves that worth mentioning.
- requires 50 Magicka
- fire a projectile that absorbs 50 points of target's health, 20 points of target's stamina and 20 points of target's magicka
Conjure Gargoyle
- requires 200 Magicka
- summon Gargoyle for 60 seconds.
- cut-content boss Gargoyle, scales with player level up to 252
Bat Cloak
- requires 120 Magicka
- summon a cloaking spell that absorbs 10 points of the target's health per second for 60 seconds.
Mist Form
- leaps up in the air, becomes invulnerable for 2 seconds, and restores 30 points of health and stamina.
Vampiric Dodge
- the blinking effect, and becomes invulnerable for 1 second.
Waterfowl Dance
- triggers when health < 70%
- summoning a swarm of bats, becomes invulnerable for 5 seconds, wickedly viciously slashes enemies.
Coldharbour Enhancement (Optional)
A Skypatcher that adds new perks for Serana and Valerica, boosting their stats to make them stronger.
- take 10% less damage
- take 10% less spell damage
- take 90% less fall damage
- life steal when hitting enemies (5 points per hit)
- stagger immunity while attacking
Sun Defying
- a small health/stamina/magicka regen when they are on the exterior cell during the daytime
This is to accommodate players using combat overhauls that modify the stamina system, like Valhalla Combat. Vampires have health, stamina, and magicka regen debuffs, but Valhalla Combat requires stamina to attack. Without this passive spell, Serana would just stand still, tanking hits to the face.
Utility Perks
- level with player up to 252
- light foot (no longer trigger trap)
- doesn't affect stealth
Remove the Jank (Optional)
A Skypatcher to remove their default spells like Vampiric Drain, Reanimated Corpse or Ice Spike, allowing Serana/Valerica to focus fully on melee combat while preventing the awkward interruptions of their combos from casting spells.
In addition, a script replacement for dlc1seranalevellingscript to stop the game from giving Serana stronger variant of spells when she reaches a certain level.
Only support vanilla spells.
Mod Recommendation
BFCO use this Daughter of Coldharbour - Reimplemented by NaChooey. This mod also handle the janky spells of Serana much better than mine.
If you want to replace the Gargoyle to Skeleton Knights use this by W00DENKNIGHT
Compatibility
Should be compatible with everything. No appearance patch required!
