# AcroWield: Action Combat Overhaul<\/p>\n
AcroWield is a vanilla-friendly action combat mod that introduces innovative mechanics while preserving the classic Minecraft feel. Enhance your strategy with **dual wielding**, **dodging**, **crouch blocking**, **parrying**, and **shield bashing**, and experience truly acrobatic and dynamic combat.
\nIt also significantly enhances crossbows, allowing for devastating close-range multishot blasts and powerful piercing attacks.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n**Dual Wielding**: You can now attack with a weapon in your non-dominant hand. Whether you prefer dual wielding, a sword and axe, or any other weapon combination, fight with your preferred weapon setup. Off-hand attacks are performed by right-clicking.<\/p>\n
**Dodge (Dash)**: Perform a fast dash with a short period of invincibility (default: V key). Dodging in combination with movement keys allows for forward charges, sidesteps, and backsteps. However, frequent dashing reduces hunger, so use it wisely.<\/p>\n
**Crouching Guard**: Similar to Bedrock Edition, you can now use your shield while crouching. This allows for advanced tactics not possible in vanilla, such as attacking with a spear while maintaining a guard. <\/p>\n
**Perfect Guard (Parry)**: A “Perfect Guard” is activated when you perfectly time your guard. It not only knocks back the enemy but also does not consume shield durability.<\/p>\n
**Shield Bash**: A “Shield Bash” is activated when you dash while guarding. You charge at the enemy, dealing minor damage and knocking them back, but this consumes shield durability.<\/p>\n
**Projectile Deflection**: By swinging your weapon with perfect timing, you can deflect incoming projectiles such as arrows.<\/p>\n
**Crossbow Multishot (Shotgun)**: Arrows and Firework Rockets fired from a crossbow with the Multishot enchantment will now hit the same mob multiple times. By firing at point-blank range, it can be used as a weapon that unleashes overwhelming burst damage.<\/p>\n
**Crossbow Piercing (Drill Hit & Carpet Bombing)**: Arrows fired from a crossbow with the Piercing enchantment will now hit multiple times depending on the size of the enemy, making it highly effective against large mobs. Firework Rockets will now trigger a chain of explosions upon impact, wiping out enemies in a straight line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
