Protection from invested attacks

[DoctaDajman]

Redoing this because it posted so very incomplete.  

I have a few scenarios and would like thoughts on if these are appropriate uses. 

Copper allomancy obviously protects from detection and extra senses (some).  It also protects from manipulating of the mind and emotions. 

 

Aluminum allomancy would likely protect a person from having investiture directly applied to them (most surges). 

 

Chromium allomancy I think would be the best way to defend against things like awakened objects attacking you. Perhaps there are more things than just awakened ropes and clothes that could be leeched?

 

I am open to other defensive options and thoughts.

I heard that if something is invested enough, it can block invested attacks. Couldn't a feruchemist create like, iron armor, and just store a BUNCH of weight until it as defensive against invested attacks as alluminium. You could also do this with pewter and use it too get a massive strength boost in the middle of battle.

You could use Lightweaving to create highly invested meta-physical armor that you can summon at will.

You could stab someone with a highly invested metal mind and then forge it into a sword invunerable to invested attacks. you could do the same with armor. Maybe also stamp it too get maximum investiture

Also, If you invest yourself enough you would also be invunerable to invested attacks.

To add on to this, nicrosil compounding would make it very easy to just pump yourself full of investiture.

I think this would be a great way to protect ones self from being soulcast or having division / gravitation used against you. I dont know that it would help against anything like awakened ropes or even a shardblade since the blade itself is still sharp. 

I assume against shardblades one needs to be able to be invested enough to block the soul cutting aspect of the weapon as well as being armored enough to block the actual blade.
