Chiblocking

Chiblocking is a martial art for nonbenders that dramatically increases their ability to output damage in their strikes. Chiblockers are also capable of paralyzing their enemies and to temporarily stun bending or spirit magic, known as "blocking their chi". They are highly mobile and therefore extremely dangerous in a close quarters combat situation, but they do not have the ability to manipulate their environment like benders, and are at a disadvantage when fighting an opponent at long range.

Chiblocking does not have any subelements, and is thus exempt from the 1 subelement rule.

Abilities

Paralyze

The user punches another player, dealing some damage but also paralyzing them. Paralyzed players cannot bend or move.

QuickStrike

The user punches another player, dealing damage and possibly blocking their chi.

HighJump

The user clicks and will jump 3 blocks into the air. This can cause fall damage if used irresponsibly, but is excellent for dodging incoming attacks or for mobility.

SwiftKick

The user must jump and then punch a player while mid-air to use this move, dealing higher damage than normal. There is a chance it will block a bender's chi.

SmokeScreen

The user clicks to throw a snowball that releases a ring of smoke particles, giving strong blindness debuffs to anyone in the area. This can also blind the user responsible throwing, so this ought to be used at long range.

RapidPunch

When the user punches with this move, it deals significantly more damage than a regular punch.

WarriorStance

This move is toggled by the user clicking and changes some passive effects. The Warrior Stance makes the user deal far more damage than they would otherwise in their strikes, but also makes them take more damage from enemies. This is best used in finishing off a weaker target.

AcrobatStance

This move is toggled by the user clicking and changes some passive effects. The Acrobat Stance increases the probability of blocking a bender's chi and grants a speed and jump boost to the user, but also increases the rate by which hunger is consumed.
