ParCoolSkill
Extend your motion — fight with style.
ParCoolSkill is an addon for ParCool that expands combat with high-impact skills inspired by Slay the Spire.

This mod also features a fully configurable system, allowing its skills to be easily adjusted for balance and gameplay preferences.
Core Mechanics
Bullet Time

Minor Bullet Time functions like Bullet Time, but additionally slows down the player’s physical movement.
Status Effects
- Vulnerable: Increases physical and magic damage taken by 50%.
- Neutralized: Reduces physical and magic damage caused by 25%.
Also added Vulnerable and Neutralized potions.
- Vulnerable Potion can be brewed using a Weakness Potion and a Wither Rose.
- Neutralized Potion can be brewed using a Weakness Potion and a Cobweb.

Design Philosophy
ParCoolSkill emphasizes momentum-based combat: movement is not just positioning, but a core damage mechanic. Mastery comes from chaining mobility skills, exploiting status synergies, and controlling the flow of time itself.
Multiplayer Support
Full and proper multiplayer support has now been implemented. If you encounter any issues in multiplayer environments, please feel free to report them.
