Install instructions can be found at the bottom of this page. The DLC is required for this mod to funciton. This mod is not recommended for a first playthrough. Manlea and Ninja skins should remain disabled if you are playing as a character other than Lea. Mod only contains text for English.
Note: Additional addon mods created by me and others can be found on the Discord server.
Note: All mod content is optional and can be ignored in the main story. You can still play as Lea and just experience the modded content as her. The mod can also be loaded up on your existing save files if you want instant access to the duels and all the combat arts. It is also possible to fully complete the game as one of the modded characters. You can change characters at any time throughout the game as many times as you like. Skill tree, inventory, and progress will not be affected by changing characters.
The entrance to the Rhombus Dungeon at the start of the game will have an option to divert to a place to select a character, after which you will continue to the Rhombus Dungeon and the rest of the game.
Regardless of whether you played the modded intro, characters can always be freely changed at the following locations:
New party member is available near the entrance to Bergen Trail. Their level and elements will be scaled properly regardless if you obtain them on a postgame save file or on a fresh playthrough.
Look for this new quest in Bergen Village to access the new area with bonus customizable pvp content
After finishing Ku'lero Temple, look for this quest in Rhombus Square to unlock an arena cup
Custom Skills are a bonus feature that is only available if you have the Arcane Lab mod installed. Arcane Lab is optional, and custom skills won't be available within XPC if it is not installed. Custom skills allow characters to equip combat arts outside of the skill tree. This includes bonus combat arts, arts from other mods, and arts from other classes in XPC. It also allows you to change your default attacks to those of other classes.
Custom Skills can be accessed in the east room of the new Bergen Village area, along with more info about how to use and equip them.

Note: Always download the latest version, the screenshot below is probably outdated.
Extract the files
Locate these files from the extracted directory
Copy the files into your Crosscode game directory
Launch the game to verify it is installed. You will see the CCLoader version in the bottom-right of the screen.
Download and extract XPC and its dependencies
Place extracted mod folders inside \CrossCode\assets\mods
Note: Note that if you click on any of these installed mods, there should be a file called package.json or ccmod.json directly inside those folders. If not, CCLoader won't be able to find the mods.
If your mods don't appear here, make sure you don't have "folders inside folders". The mod folders need package.json or ccmod.json directly inside in order to be recognized. If your mods appear in-game, you are good to go.
Delete your old folder entirely.
Install the new version where the old one used to be.
You can't just override the old version because if a new version removes old files or renames certain files then overriding will mess it up.
All new versions of XPC are save-compatible with previous versions unless otherwise stated in the changelog.
