This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
ComboSpear
Stop poking. Start fighting.
In vanilla Valheim the spear does one thing: stab, then throw it away. ComboSpear gives it a fighting style of its own - chained thrusts, strikes from behind the shield, throws with real weight - all on animations made for the spear from scratch.
What you get
- A flowing combo - each hit rolls into the next instead of snapping back to the stance.
- Attacks from behind the shield - your block hits back.
- Throws that feel like throws - and more than one way to send the spear flying.
- True damage numbers - the floating number shows what a hit really deals.
Every animation comes in shield, empty-hand and torch versions. How the moves look and link up is yours to find out.
How to use
L = Primary attack. S = Secondary attack. > means "then".
| Move | Input |
|---|---|
| L1 | Primary |
| L1 L2 | Primary, Primary |
| L1 L2 L3 | Primary, Primary, Primary |
| S1 | Secondary, from the stance |
| L1 L2 L3 > S2 | Primary, Primary, Primary, then Secondary once the third hit lands |
| Block + L1 L2 L3 | Hold Block, then Primary, Primary, Primary |
ComboSpear does not use L1 > S, L1 L2 > S, S3 or H1-H3.
Balanced for fair play
The spear becomes a joy to fight with, not an easy mode. Damage is tuned to stay fair, so ComboSpear fits challenge runs too.

Config
One setting, in BepInEx/config/andythedemon.combospear.cfg (created on first launch):
[General]
Enabled = true
Set it to false to play with vanilla spears. It takes effect the next time the game starts.
Installation
Use a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager), or install by hand:
- Install BepInExPack Valheim.
- Copy this package's
BepInExfolder into your Valheim folder. It holds one file,BepInEx/plugins/ComboSpear.dll: the whole mod, animations included.
When it runs, the log shows Combo Spear 1.0.3 loaded.
Notes
- Every player should install ComboSpear: players without it see no attack animation from you, though your hits still land.
- If a game update moves the spear's attack states, the mod logs a warning instead of breaking your game.
Mod family
Every mod in the family works with the others, and they are best played together.
- Combo Axe — Raider and Executioner axe combos.
- Combo Brawler — three fist-weapon fighting styles.
- Combo Knife — new knife combos to discover.
- ValheimWeaponClasses Continued — weapon-class progression.
