Earth Dome

[Moonelight]

This move is made for defense completely.

Things to know

• The dome can be destroyed by attacking it 3 times
• The amount of hits the dome can withstand is configurable
• The dome dimensions are configurable
• Default size of the base is 2x2
• The default height is 2 blocks high
• When the dome is destroyed it blows up into dirt particles (or whichever to match to blocks used to create the dome)
• You must hold shift to keep the dome up
• When you release shift the dome then explodes into dirt particles (or whichever ^^^)
• When the dome is destroyed by a move, the explosion of the dome does a heart of damage to the user it hides

How it works

When in combat you may need a fast escape, this is where Earth Dome comes in hand. To start using earth dome, you'll need to hold shift, and you must be on a earthbendable surface which can support the size of the dome. Once you begin to hold shift, a "dome" will form around you. Note that this move deactivates when you let go of shift. The dome can't withstand charged/powerful moves, and a list can be found below of those moves.

Surge during night
IceBlast
Charged Fireblast
Fireburst
Combustion
Lightning
Airburst
Charged Air Swipe
LavaFlow
Shockwave
EarthSmash
(Configurable, but you get the idea of which moves.)

The dome can withstand 3 hits from one of the moves listed above. After 3 hits the dome will lose it's durability and break. The 3 hits durability makes the shield able to protect you longer. Anyone could take your dome down the second you use it without the durability.

Here is a example of the default size of the dome:

Proof of move

Aang domed himself with earth while Sozin was attacking him.
Note: No avatar state was being used at this time.

I hope you enjoy this move, and can consider liking it.
I had to make sure that this defense move wasn't to over powered, which is where the moves that can destroy it come in. I also know this move has been suggested before, but my version is different I would assume.

Questions, concerns, and criticizing below!

Thanks,

I like the idea a lot
I've always though that earth needed something like this
It could actually be made into a combo including holding shift on earthgrab at its end
By the way water should be able to do something of this kind with ice, just saying

Let's keep water out of this, you have surge for this use. But thanks!

LavaFlux isn't a move...
Besides that! This is a really well thought out idea.. I feel like it's very similar to earthgrab though

Waterbenders have the icesphere combo, surge shield and they can just freeze themselves with ice for protection.. There's no need for a water version

They won't do anything with the addon moves. More or less it'd be up to the creator to make it destroy the move.

 

[Moonelight]

Oops, I forgot lava flux wasn't in the plugin. My bad..

In a way it is, but you must hold shift to keep the shield up. And the user attacking you has the chance to take out your shield.

Tbh instead of creating an entire new move, i feel like this should be merged with earthgrab

 

[Simplicitee]

Oops, I forgot lava flux wasn't in the plugin. My bad..

And lavathrow. Unless I've missed it being added..

 

[Moonelight]

And lavathrow. Unless I've missed it being added..

I think it's official, if not I will remove it.

It could be used in a similar way to Earth Grabbing yourself?

Lavathrow is made by @jedk1. It is an addon, not a core move

Lavathrow is made by @jedk1

Mk, thanks for telling me before I logged off & have nothing done about it.

Lol, comments would be made about it soooo much xD

Yeah xD

"FLY LAVATHROW ISNT A MOVE!" Xd

I think that the dome should have a configurable amount of hits it can take (default 3-5 ?). Ozai had the power of the comet and he still had to give it a few good blows before Aang couldn't take it any more. Besides that this is a very well thought idea, as usual.

Later I can add that into the thread, and thank you

I added Shockwave to the list, and the concept of the dome having a 3 hit durability.
