Holders Animated Battlers - Free Heroes

Create a consistent battle scene with this ever-expanding group of free animated battler actors, weapons  and icons!

Tired of just having a weapon magically appear when your character attacks? Yes? We all are, with these free resources it layers two weapon sheets around  your heroes and always shows what weapon they have equipped! -Beautiful! 
With plug-ins like Akea animated battle system 2 you can even give the weapons unique standard attack effects,  I have a topic on the official RPG Maker forum if you'd like to contribute your own weapons/heroes/even edits:

Streamline is the latest and only version of Holders RPG Maker Animated Battlers you'll ever need. New configurations and designs will all work together perfectly and be consistent with every future release. 

Poses are not fixed for purpose and can be used however you like; chain poses together for some serious combos! Bring your battles to life like never before! Recolouring is easy and just add more layers to add features as you like.

These require an additional script/plug in to work with whichever RPG Maker engine you're using or game creating software. For a list of plug-ins/scripts please visit the scripts list and also the set-up guides. Example for MZ is visustella

Holders animated battlers has been an ongoing project of mine for many years and I hope to bring consistency to your own projects.  All donations go towards this project as means of software that will be used to bring more content in the future.

Set up guides are available here.

For Visual weapons I test with:  RPG Maker MZ - Akea Animated Battle system 2
