Bending Grounds Air Update and Plant Sub-Bending

Two elemental drops define the current public beta more than any unnamed hotfix: Air as a Nation-style kit and Plant as recent sub-bending. CSL Studios attached a code to each. That is why the codes hub lists NewAir (5 Current Slot Spins) and WeGotPlant (6 Current Slot Spins) and why this page exists beside the public beta timeline.

[BETA] Bending Grounds remains an unofficial fan-made arena. It is playable during the public beta. It is not affiliated with Avatar: The Last Airbender, Paramount, or Nickelodeon. Air and Plant here are CSL Studios designs inside Roblox place 103745056080809.

Air update

Air sits with Fire, Water, and Earth as a core option you can land on a slot. The headline tool players talk about is Air Funnel:

• It is blockable.
• It ragdolls the target inside a funnel.
• Whiffing it against a player who knows the block window is a free punish, not a win button.

Airbenders also share the acrobatic dash family with Chi Blockers. If you came from a heavy Fire Blast poke style, the dash cadence will feel like a different game. Lab it in training before you spend the NewAir rolls hunting a second element.

NewAir is the promo string that dropped with this update. Reward: 5 Current Slot Spins. Case-sensitive. Redeem in Character Customization via More Spins → Codes tab, as in how to redeem. Claim it on the slot you actually want to invest in. Spins do not bank as a spare Air in your inventory; they reroll the current slot.

Plant sub-bending

Plant is recent community-confirmed sub-bending, not a fifth Nation on the title screen. The code WeGotPlant grants 6 Current Slot Spins. Same Codes tab, same case rules.

What Plant is not:

• A paywall. Chi Blockers are the explicit non-paywalled extra style; Plant is a spin / sub-bending outcome, not a Robux gate we can document.
• A replacement for the Hama quest. Hama still teaches drawing water from grass and plants on the bloodbending path. Do not confuse “I can pull water from plants” with the Plant sub-bending kit.
• An expired-code name. It is live on the working table until the Codes tab says otherwise.

Exact move names beyond the sub-bending label are unconfirmed in beta. We will not invent a full Plant kit list. After you roll it, spend time in training, then compare notes on the sub-bending tier list and the Water page if your slot still thinks in vines versus ice.

How the two drops interact with the rest of the roster

The core loop did not change: Nation → Character Customization → spin current slot → train → quests → PvP. Air and Plant stacked on top.

Piece	Relation to Air / Plant
Fire	Fire Blast still deflectable by firebenders, blockable by earth walls, 15% burn, dash to cleanse. Flame Kick still breaks earth/ice and ragdolls. Air dash lets you leave the burn window.
Water	Community combo still starts on punches and geysers. Plant is adjacent thematically; it is not a free Ice Breaker.
Earth	Walls still matter against projectiles, including things you will try to throw as Air.
Chi Blockers	Acrobatic dashes like Air, no paywall, different identity. See Chi Blockers.
Other sub-bending	Community list also includes Sand, Lightning / Sun Warrior, Blood, Mist, Spiritual Projection. Unconfirmed details stay on sub-bending.

Ranking up still unlocks extra master moves. Landing Plant on day one does not skip that gate.

Codes, shutdowns, and what to do this week

1. Redeem NewAir and WeGotPlant if you have not. Combined that is eleven Current Slot Spins.
2. If Claim fails, do not assume the update rolled back. Check typing, tab, and the expired tracker.
3. After a shutdown, rejoin and look for kit changes before you queue. The updates hub is the index; this page only covers Air and Plant.
4. Skip scripts. Nobody confirmed a Plant-granting paste, and the safety guide is the reason you should not hunt one.

Use the spin planner if you are splitting slots between Air movement and a Plant experiment. Use the combo lab once you have a kit, not before you Claim.

NewAir and WeGotPlant are two different grants, not two names for the same coupon. Five Air-tied rolls and six Plant-tied rolls can land on the same current slot if you Claim them back to back, which is either a gift or a way to overwrite a kit you liked. Decide the slot first, Claim second, and treat Plant as a recent sub-bending branch rather than a finished Nation with a wiki-complete movelist. That is the public-beta version of this update: real codes, real Air Funnel rules, and Plant still wearing its “recent” tag.
