Like the original mod, Apotheosis is required. The mod is not available on Modrinth.

Apothic Combat does the following to ensure compatibility between Better Combat and Apotheosis:

• Registers all two-handed Better Combat weapons automatically as HEAVY_WEAPON for Apotheosis
• Removes the Entity Reach Attribute from all weapons, and makes the attack range affix nonfunctional

However, the first feature may be undesirable as it is not configurable. Apothic Combat: Singled Out gets rid of this feature, allowing weapon categories to remain customizable while keeping the Attack Range feature.
