**Highlights:** Katana Tweaks, Weapon Skins

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
Katana lights are infinite chains again, but their stamina cost remains increased
Katana heavies now skip a light - for example, Katana Heavy 1 will take you to Katana Heavy 2 or Katana Light 3. This lets you enter a new infinite combo by alternating between light and heavy attacks.
All katana heavies had their damage multiplier increased by .1 - this should reflect to about an 9 damage increase on every move at 50 strength.

Katana Heavy Attack chain overhaul - more aggressive and faster, but less damage output. The first 3 heavies will bleed your enemy, while the finisher will cripple them.

Katana Sprint Attack stamina increase (8, up from 4)
Dagger Light and Heavy stamina incrase (22 stamina for a full combo, up from 13)

Great Wolf and Vein Cut daggers now deal the same damage as Daggers of Dagon
Mace Light Bash followup was moved to heavy input
Mace Heavy Bash followup (leap attack) was replaced with a simple, quick swing

Fixed Katana so that it should no longer randomly deal increased damage on the dash attack
Sword Sprint Attack now combos fluidly into the first heavy or light

**Balance Changes:**
All warpaints no longer give any bonus stats, and are once again removed on death. This should allow you to wear roleplay warpaints consistently without them being overwritten - you'll want to pull bracelet once after the update to clear your warpaint slot and craft one of the new bond items instead
Slight increase to the stamina cost of Barbarian's Greatsword Axe (4/6 to 5/7)
Hand grip was moved up the handle of the Barbarian's Greatsword Axe, resulting in a very slight length decrease

Universal Decoration Bench will now include Nemedian Artisan items

**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.4.5**
**Highlights:** Balance Updates

**Combat Changes:**
Hammer can now use it's special attacks mid-chain, but it will not reset your combo and only allow you to perform the offhand finisher, light finisher, or 3rd heavy
Increasd Katana Dash's damage multiplier significantly (From .6 - .8 to 1.5)
Test fix to possibly make Katana Dash's damage the same, no matter how short or how long you sit in the combo
Sword Offhand Input was changed: It's now a bash like Axe or Javelin. Followups are Light Input to enter 3rd heavy (spin attack) or Heavy Input to enter 2nd heavy (forward thrust attack)
Sword 1st Light was changed: It's significantly less spammable. Predator Blade users will notice this the most.

**Balance Changes:**
Deceiver no longer works as a mace skin. It was far longer than Lovetap, which is considered one of the better mace skins.
Thrashing Maul is now a hammer and not a greatsword. It had the stats of the hammer, but the animations of a greatsword - big problem!
Hollowbone Arrow stat change: from (15/54 to 23/23) Balancing bow was made difficult by the existance of this arrow and it's ability to penetrate all armor.
Reach of the Red Mother stat change: from (30/30 to 30/20) This prevents bow from being able to reach over 70% armor pen a shot. Heavy armor should not be so easily negated.
Mortal Blade's Sunder Effect increased to both self and enemy (25% to 34%)
Iron Bolt Armor Pen reduced: (30% to 25%)
Poisoned/Burrhead Bolt Armor Pen reduced: (25% to 22%)

Blessed Throwing Axe no longer ricochets - experiment to see if this should be put on other projectiles to stop them bouncing off of players.

Standing Display Rack Decoration
Simple Furnace Decoration
Musket and Flintlock Decoration
5 Variations of Greeting Orbs - instead of damage, these offer conversation to anyone near them.

**~ Other Changes:**
All Fabled Weapons can now be dismantled back into Eldarium and a Fragment of Power. Because dismantling uses the same data that repairing an item uses, it now also costs a fragment and eldarium to repair - I would recommend using legendary repair kits instead!
All Heavy Bleed Weapons, Athena's Shield, and Mortal Blade can now be dismantled back into a Fragment of Power and a Heart of the Kinscourge. Repair recipe now also requires these items due to above rules, use legendary repair kits instead.
All common weapons and shields can now be dismantled into star metal
All torches will dismantle into oil
All armors will dismantle into their crafting components

Fixed Lava Block

**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.4.4**

**Combat Changes:**
Archer's Melee Weapons have received another pass, and only deal slightly less damage (6-9%, was 25%) than their normal counterparts. This will likely be an ongoing balance change process to get them at some point of balance, feedback is greatly appreciated.
First Javelin Heavy is now faster by about 20%, but can't be cancelled by walking out as quickly.
Greatsword Chop had a timing tweak for it's followup - you can now sit in the animation and queue the followup right up until your front foot moves back. It will feel reminiscent of how sitting in a hammer combo feels.
Archer Weapons should no longer be overridden by Duelist or Soldier scaling, and will always scale with accuracy first. Unfortunately, this means they can't be skinned.
Bows now shoot about 20% faster for the first 3 light attacks. Any light attack following the third will be the same as the bow's normal speed, and until your combo resets, every arrow fired in the combo will also be at the normal speed.
Incrase to the damage of Crossbow bolts. (Burrhead/Poison 25 > 32, Ironhead 30 > 45)
Hammer has received it's special attack rework: Offhand initiates a slow undercut move with heavy knockback, and can be chained into the first light, first heavy, or another offhand move that will flatten enemies
Hammer 3rd Light: Damage Multipler reduced from 1.2 to .75 (same as 4th light), Stamina cost multipler reduced from 1.6 to 1.0 (same as 4th light)
Hammer 4th Heavy: Damage Multiplier reduced from 1.5 to .5, Stamina cost multiplier reduced from 2 to 1.5

Removed Fragment Cost from Universal Bench Recipes
Tweaks to Red, Green, and Purple Torch Lighting to make them better as light sources but still retain their color
Updated Siptah Recipe descriptions to include what they actually give you

Musket balls had their weight reduced by 60% (.2 > .08)
Crossbow Siege Bolts will now always deal their maximum damage (3000) to a structure when they hit (previously was 3,000 max, 1,500 minimum. It had issues damaging larger meshes properly)
Greatsword Chop from mid-chain or neutral is no longer a combo end, and now chains directly and fluidly into 3rd light or 4th heavy. Sprint-chop still remains a finisher and doesn't combo.
All Sorcerer's weapons can now no longer be used with offhand weapons such as shields or throwing axes. Sorry casters :(
All Shields from the mod will no longer accept biles. This was not an intended behavior. Shields that already have biles will still have them after this update, but no more can be made.
All Archer's weapons had a consistency pass: they now deal the same AP as their strength-scaling counterparts, but deal 25% less damage. (1-4% armor pen boost and 1-2 damage boost on most archer's weapons)
