Hey there all you Minecraft players! Idaho here for this week's post, albeit much later than I would have hoped! Still, we've got some HELLA cool news for you today!

New Moves Direct Link

We are happy to introduce Dodge and Armor moves for each element! These moves function very similarly, but offer new mobility and extra protection to each element that will enhance your bending battles at all levels. Here are the crucial details:

Earth Direct Link
  • Earth Armor: Armor which slows caster, but has the highest damage absorption amount. Left click to activate. Duration determined by level.
  • Earth Dodge: Leap to either side. Normal click goes right, Shift-Click goes left.
Fire Direct Link
  • Fire Armor: Armor which ignites the caster as well as nearby enemies. Left click to activate. Duration determined by level.
  • Fire Dodge: Dodge, leaving fire on the ground in your wake, burning enemies. Normal click goes right, Shift-Click goes left.
Air Direct Link
  • Air Armor: Armor which has the lowest damage absorption, but greatly increases speed. Left click to activate. Duration determined by level.
  • Air Dodge: Move almost instantly to either side. Normal click goes right, Shift-Click goes left.
Water Direct Link
  • Water Armor: Armor which slows down enemies by click. Left click to activate. Duration determined by level.
  • Water Dodge: Dodge, leaving snow on the ground in your wake, slowing enemies. Normal click goes right, Shift-Click goes left.

These new moves should be live very soon, so make sure to check them out at your respective bending master!

Thats all for this week! Stay frosty out there!
