Welcome to the Hidden Gem Spotlight! This week is the historic beginning of featuring builds that you nominate. The theme, Crossworlds, was in anticipation of the similarly titled upcoming event, and features a build that brings characters from a different universe into Skyrim. While it turns out there are some great ones out there, today we’ve decided to feature an awesome little gem that’s been out for a little over three months and is at the time I write this still sitting at only 20 likes... practically one foot in the bloodworks. That’s gotta change, folks! Ladies and gentlemen, this week we are excited to feature...
The Magicka Blocker by CounterfeitFrenchman
Background
CounterfeitFrenchman (CF) bases The Magicka Blocker around the Equalists (found in The Legend of Korra) who use chi blocking as a way to counteract, or equalize, the advantages of benders. This translates surprisingly well in a Skyrim setting, and The Magicka Blocker is the ultimate mage-bane! Looking at the perked skills on paper--Archery, Heavy Armor, Light Armor, Pickpocket, Sneak, and Alchemy--doesn’t really do the build justice; CF’s application of them is truly unique and engaging. So, as CF suggests: Hide yo’ necromancers, hide yo’ battlemages!

The Bottom Line
The Magicka Blocker is a funny, brilliantly written build that offers unique, fast paced, stick-and-move combat… and makes you feel hardcore!
