- Patch 7.3 broke a lot of VFX mods. If the mod has no 7.3 update yet, it will most likely crash your game. Please stop reporting this, mods will get updated as the author updates them & we get the share on our Telegram. There's literally nothing we can do about them as they are right now.
- This mod works in the current expansion of the game (Dawntrail, v7.0).

Included in this release is an all-in-one TextTools (.ttmp2) package, as well as individual TextTools (.ttmp2) files for those who prefer to mix and match specific actions. These files are compatible with both Penumbra and TextTools, and I’ve also provided an all-in-one Penumbra package (.pmp) for convenience.

My vision for this mod was to reimagine the Monk as a more traditional martial artist rather than a breakdancing performer. Expect powerful punches, dynamic kicks, and fluid martial stances—all infused with a touch of Dragon Ball Z flair.
In revising the animations, I focused on delivering impactful strikes rather than the original claw-like swipes that never felt quite right. Every change was made with careful attention to visual and audio elements, always keeping the Monk’s rotation and combat flow in mind.
For those who crave even more spectacle, I’ve included a few optional Masterful Blitz animations that serve as truly dramatic finishers. These additional animations aren’t shown in the preview video, as I created them afterward.
I’ve worked hard to ensure compatibility across all races. However, male Viera are unfortunately broken and do not work as intended due to their unique skeletal structure, resulting in significant leg bone mapping issues. Female Viera are unaffected and will see the animations as intended. Additionally, certain jumps and sidesteps don’t scale perfectly for Lalafells—they execute the same moves but with slightly less height or reach (e.g., Phantom Rush, Elixir Field). If a solution to the male Viera issue is found, I plan to update this mod in the future. I’m also working on creating custom .pap files for Lalafell actions to better scale their movement and enhance the overall experience for those playing as this race.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed the transformative impact this mod brings to the Monk’s gameplay, and I hope it resonates with others as well. My aim is to offer players a more satisfying, visually striking, and dynamic take on the job’s combat style.
In the video I also list the types of adjustments I made to each action, such as…
Minimal FX: reduction in existing visual effects, to declutter the animation
New Effects: new or altered visual effects for the action
New Sound: new or altered audio effects for the action
New Motion: different skeletal animation, some are swapped from other actions, and others were modified using 3D Modeling software.
No update is available for this mod.
Reports I ignore and delete immediately:
- Virus warning: read the FAQ/Troubleshooting
- DT/version update requests: mods will not get updated until someone shares the update with us on Telegram & an uploader gets to it
- Malicious ads/files: again, read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide. You WILL get fucked up if you can’t pass a simple reading comprehension test.
- Catbox/Buzzheavier is down: yeah, services go down sometimes. Good indicator is download links not loading. We do not own Catbox or Buzzheavier, wait a few hours for the service providers to fix the issue, there’s nothing we can do.
- Buzzheavier is dead: bro its been back for MONTHS quit trying to tell me it doesn’t exist lmao
- A make-up/body mod only has loose files: lol
Everything else I do make sure to test on my end, but if I (the owner of the website) personally come up with nothing, your report will be thrown out. It is 99% likely the issue is on your end, and if you don’t see a fix in Updates for your problem within a few weeks, you can assume it is an issue only on your end.
To everyone else, thank you for your report so we can fix actual issues with the website, I appreciate your input.
