Notes:
Hodiah has access to a unique variant of the parry mechanic, referred to as the God’s Hand. When Hodiah performs a parry on a physical attack, he will reverse the energy behind the opponent’s attack, causing them to stagger for a short period of time.
Unlike other characters in-setting, Hodiah is not the most mobile character. He is slow, and as a result isn’t capable of running; instead, he will perform a short-ranged dash across the ground. However, being a robot, Hodiah will always have access to one hit of super armor, even when walking or standing still, making it more difficult to stop his attacks.

Substitutions:
Metal – Earth, Impact
Pierce – Puncture

BASICS:
~Cannons Away!
Element: Impact
Cost: 5% SE
Valour: 5
Base Power: 15x6, Physical
Hodiah fires a cannonball from Hierophant. The cannonball cannot be repeatedly fired, and is affected by gravity, but it deals very good Guard Meter damage and has the Piercing trait, and also hits multiple times. Hodiah can aim the cannonball up if he wishes, and when used in the air, he may fire directly in front of him or below him.

~Rock Slide
Element: Earth
Cost: None
Valour: 2 per hit, 1 per rock
Base Power: 10x2 (Physical), 10x3 (Special)
Hodiah punches the opponent twice, before summoning and throwing about three rocks at its opponent via a stomp and a kick. The punches have a hit of super armor each, while the rocks deal Earth-aligned damage.

~Stalagmite
Element: Impact
Cost: None
Valour: 3
Base Power: 10, Physical
Hodiah‘s launcher. Hodiah raises its hand upwards, creating a short-lived rock spire. Any flying enemies it catches will be sent to the ground. When used in the air, Hodiah will release a burst of aura around itself as it falls, sending any enemies it makes contact with directly down.

~Glow/Glowal
Element: Spirit
Cost: 4%/6%
Valour: 3
Base Power: N/A
Hodiah seems to cry out as it creates a blue shield in front of itself briefly. This shield will absorb physical attacks, and reflects projectiles, but only three hits worth when it is active. Piercing abilities will break it, no matter how many hits it has remaining. Has one extra hit of super armor.
By holding the move, Hodiah instead uses Glowal. Unlike many specials of this variety, Glowal has an entirely different effect from Glow – it will reduce all status ailments on Hodiah, except for Soft, by one level. While using this special, Hodiah has two extra hits of super armor.

~God’s Touch
Element: Spirit
Cost: 10%
Valour: 3
Base Power: N/A
Hodiah creates a yellow aura around itself with this ability. For 3 seconds after using this ability, Hodiah will automatically parry all attacks, assuming he isn’t already occupied with an action; however, parrying attacks with this ability will not grant you the health recovery normally associated with parries. This aura can also be broken by Piercing abilities.

SPECIALS:
~Clothesline
Element: Impact
Cost: 5%
Valour: 5
Base Power: 30, Physical
Hodiah rushes ahead for a little bit, doing a clothesline punch that sends the opponent to the ground. Has an extra hit of super armor.

~ Rising God
Element: Impact (75%), Spirit (25%)
Cost: 5%
Valour: 5
Priority: +1
Type: Regular
Base Power: 50, Physical
Hodiah punches directly upwards, jumping slightly off the ground as aura is released from his fist. Knocks down aerial enemies, and has one extra hit of super armor.

~Stalactite
Element: Impact (90%), Earth (10%)
Cost: 5%
Valour: 7
Base Power: 35, Physical
Hodiah suddenly heads straight for the ground, creating a small tremor around himself as he lands. The tremor deals Earth-aligned damage.

~Laser Bolt
Element: Heat
Cost: 5%
Valour: 6
Base Power: 50, Special
After taking a second to prepare itself, Hodiah fires a burst of magic from its eyes. The burst of magic will inflict Soft status (level 1), reducing the opponent’s defense.

~Rising Earth
Element: Earth
Cost: 5%
Valour: 5
Base Power: 10, Special
Hodiah slams the ground with its foot, causing a wall of earth to appear from under its target, launching them. The wall will then remain for a short while before disappearing. The wall is considered an extension of the terrain, and will be treated as one.

~Falling Earth
Element: Earth
Cost: 5%
Valour: 5
Base Power: 10, Special
Hodiah slams the ground with its foot, causing the earth to fall down underneath its target. The gap will remain for a short while before disappearing. The gap is considered an extension of the terrain, and will be treated as one.

~Gaia’s Wrath
Element: Earth
Cost: 10%
Valour: 2x3
Base Power: 25x3, Special
Hodiah pulls out the ground from underneath him, creating a wave of earth that goes across the floor. Stuns enemies very easily.

SUPERS:
~ Ruby-Red Light (Level 1)
Element: Heat
Cost: 100 Valour
Valour: N/A
Base Power: 10x10, Special
Hodiah fires a small, magic-based laser beam from its “eyehole”, raising its head upwards as it does so, covering the area in front of him in an upwards arc. The laser beam has a Piercing trait, and can be extended; however, the heat from the laser will partially melt Hodiah’s face if he extends it too long, dealing 5% damage back to himself in red health & increasing the recovery time.

~Meteor Landing (Level 2)
Elements: Impact [1], Earth [2]
Cost: 200 Valour
Valour: N/A
Base Power: 20 (Physical) for the jump, 10x8 (Special) if he catches them, ended with 10x10 (Special) for debris and 65 (Physical) for the last punch
Hodiah jumps into the air, bringing a lot of rocks and any enemies it strikes along the way with it [1]. In the air, Hodiah forms both the enemies and the debris into a large boulder [2], which it then knocks towards the earth, and follows closely behind. As it nears contact, Hodiah punches its meteor-like construct [1], causing it to blow and send bits and pieces flying everywhere [2]. The different pieces all have the Pierce trait, while the debris Hodiah created deals Earth-aligned damage as well.

~ Tear the Earth Apart (Level 3)
Element: Earth
Cost: 300 Valour
Valour: N/A
Base Power: 360 (Physical)
Hodiah stomps the ground, creating a large-scale earthquake to form. The earthquake is ground-unblockable, though it will not affect flying enemies, and covers most of the ground which Hodiah is standing on. Enemies that are caught up in it are swallowed by the earth Hodiah opened up, then spat back out as it closes the fissure. Deals Earth-aligned damage, and is completely invincible before he stomps the ground.
