what is the weakest bending style in avatar?
In Avatar we have beyond broken characters and powers.. abilities that at times appear so overpowered that we question everything we've been told about the equal balance within the elements and they’re users.. Like sure, the Avatar being questionably overpowered can be justified by the fact that he or she is the master of all five elements and is essentially designed to be the strongest individual in the known universe.. But when you have abilities such as a psychic blood bending coming close to killing them a number of times in the series, it becomes unclear as to why water benders live in harmony with the other nations, they are beyond the strongest and most broken of all that reside within the avatar verse.. But now if water is what many consider the strongest element, then what is considered the weakest?.. Well due to its shocking number of weaknesses, many believe fire to be the undisputed weakest bending style.. Like it can be countered by every other element and is seen throughout Avatar to only best others of the same type.. And with its limited sub-bending potential, no one considers this a threat to the likes of glass or blood bending.. Which is why..

Only good thing about water benders is bloodbending, and guess what? They can only use it like once a month during the full moon 💀 Earth is the weakest, due to it's inflexible nature, unless you're an experienced bender

@igorporfiirio4915 4 месяца назад

Fire bending should be way more terrifying if it followed real life logic. Even if you block the attacks, the heat by itself is a big problem, and lightning bending should be pretty much an "I win button", benders aren't super fast, so they shouldn't be dodging lightning like that. Of course you can try and predict your oponent movement to dodge, but that's a lot harder than dodging projectiles. Also, while it's possible to survive a lightning strike, it''s not as possible to keep fighting after one.

@joshuafrazier3904 4 месяца назад

Your straight up wrong characters in Avatar are super human blatantly and multiple characters have feats of reacting to lightning. The greatest is Iroh when he sensed a lightning strike coming and was surprised by it but still managed to deflect it while on Zuko’s ship. He knew it was coming and the where it would strike but not which direction meaning he had to register the bolt and get in position to deflect it and not kill himself showing some relativity to lightning. Also Lightning bending has a decently obvious charge for most people giving you time to react and either block it cause unless you are Azula your lighting isn’t explosive or dodge it if you’re an airbender.

@raze2012_ 4 месяца назад

Even in Korra, Lightning has some chargeup time. S o you definitely can react if you are aware of the stances a firebender needs to lightning bend.

It was also stated that either Ozai's father, or Ozai himself destroyed the history of Firebending's subbending types. And Electricity was exclusive specifically to the Royal family. While combustion bending requires special, monk like training. In Legend of Korra we saw a small tribe of diviners/energy readers that Korra visited. So there are probably many sub bendings that we don't even know. The divination could be expanded on. There could be temperature bending, even light bending. A firebender who could shoot a rail gun blast, heal people, or even become invisible

@dark-winged-angel136 4 месяца назад

Temperature bending is already a thing,Sozin used it to harden magma

@pIayingwithmahwii 4 месяца назад

I wonder if airbenders can modify the temperature of their element. Every other element can, though its difficulty varies. For water benders it’s rather easy to make mist or ice, whereas for earth benders it’s very difficult to make lava. Obviously fire benders can make theirs hotter or… less hot lol. But for airbenders, shooting quick blasts of searing hot air would be OP

I think firebending is underestimated due to how little it hits people since ATLA is a kid's show. If firebenders had as consistent aim as waterbending or airbending, pretty much every protagonist would have died of first degree burns by now.

@rainfallen7574 4 месяца назад

I think you mean third degree burns. First degree burns aren't that bad, akin to a nasty sunburn. "Third-degree burns, also known as full-thickness burns, destroy the epidermis and dermis, and may extend into the subcutaneous tissue. They can also damage muscles, tendons, and bones. Third-degree burns can appear white, blackened, or charred, and may be hard, dry, or leathery. They can also cause swelling, and may cause a lack of pain due to nerve damage."

Lightning Extremely faster than a bullet by a long shot, considering how people can Dodge and redirect lightning no one should get hit by a fire projectile, since they're slow ,a fire wall maybe but if you can dodge lightning what is a slow fire cloud?

@Tamashikusho 4 месяца назад

@@almessasorrow4950 The fireballs are not significantly slower than any earth or water projectile. As for dodging lightning, your argument would apply to literally anything slower than lightning, i.e any other bending attack in existence. As it is, only a couple of people have ever dodged lightning, and that was by watching their opponent's hands and dodging before they fired.

@almessasorrow4950 4 месяца назад

@@Tamashikusho they also redirected lightning, and they had to raise their hands mid lightning so they are faster than lightning. I was going to mention that about most bending but if you read the kyoshi novel you know earth bending doesn't have that problem, air bending is invisible,and have you tried dodging a wave? Water splashes, if they spammed that move there's nothing you can do, even ignoring blood bending. Fire bending has a fire wall but that would only be useful in Inclosed spaces unless they get in close range, at that point you either die or go out like a kamikaze(which is what should have happened when aang tried blocking it with air, it should have killed them, it literally exploded.)

@Tamashikusho 4 месяца назад

@@almessasorrow4950 Every person who redirected lightning was ready for it, no-one has redirected lightning unless they're clearly aware they're about to be blasted. What do you mean "earth doesn't have that problem"? It is way slower than lightning, and no faster than a fireball. Airbending may be invisible, but the amount of times people have dodged or blocked airbending makes it pretty clear they can either see the dust or are just trained to watch their opponent's hands. As for water, what is the splash going to do? Only the main projectile will do any damage, the splash will just get the target wet. You could make an argument for any element having the edge over the others. In the case of fire, it's advantages are instant serious damage, and the ability to produce it from the body. If lightning is "weak" because it can be dodged or redirected, that makes every element weak for those same reasons.

@oversol5469 4 месяца назад

The balance is found in their abundance and utility. Despite the versatility of water it's the first to be caught without ammunition and requires a mastery to draw water from other sources or blood bend. Earth is very abundant but not very versatile. Air is the most abundant but lacks the lethality of the others. Fire is the most versatile, can be self produced, and extremely deadly all at just a beginner level.

@Dhamballa 4 месяца назад

Air bending has the lethality it's just not utilized by the culture since they are pacifists. Imagine a dude flying up to a building full of soldiers/people/etc, and making a massive vacuum covering every entrance, every window and mercing everyone inside without even needing to see them

@Dhamballa 4 месяца назад

Also earth could be way more versatile, I feel it was done the weakest of all the elements but hints of it show through. I envision a full grown Toph being capable of stomping her foot, turning the earth underneath an opponent into sand, forming a huge fist to raise them up then turning it back into solid/compacted earth and crushing them inside. I see being able to draw magma through the crust, launching it like cannonballs at ships or groups of enemies But sadly we mostly just get Big Step, Big Boulder save for Toph. Even Bumi feels pretty standard in how he delivers attacks despite his clear ability

fire has the advantage of firebenders being able to create their own fire, in the show they assert dominance by taking away any access to a benders element when imprisoning them. also while sub-bending techniques are much stronger with other elements rather than fire, it takes exceptional talent and training to perform them; i would argue firebending is initially the most powerful element amongst new or unskilled benders

And the spreading of its power to all times of the day MIGHT have weakened this, keep note that Yakone, Ammon and Tarlokk are special. They put in crazy amounts.

Which is probably why it's "forbidden" in the first place

@EldenRingplayer407 3 месяца назад

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@@Dhamballa Bloodbending can be collaborative. It’s just an issue of finding a responsible teacher, instead of someone who will manipulate or abuse you for not wanting to learn (like Hama and Yakone, who corrupted the “communal” aspect). And by collaborative, I mean “Person A bloodbends a target to stay in place, Person B walks up to deal a finishing blow). In order to be properly communal, the student and teacher both need to be willing to reach this new level of power. The teacher can also feel disappointed at a refusal to learn, but they *must* respect the refusal. Basically, like-minded waterbenders can be communal, but becoming a bloodbending master means finding a balance between coldness, restraint, and discipline, (I think) instead of becoming more powerful/skilled

On top of the metal bending like situation of not knowing you could, blood bending is also shown to be incredibly difficult.

@Iterligo 4 месяца назад

Cause fire bending is so fast and fierce that making defence agaist them is a hassle to begin with. I don't really get why people think fire bending is weaker than other bending techniques. It's offensive power is nothing to scoff at. You must remember that bender is just a normal people with elemental power, not super human with high resilience, so a fire ball and a boulder is equally deadly. Cause in matter of fact, you are equally death got shot by a gun or a cannon. And as we see in Avatar battle, fire bender always is the offensive ones with its high attack speed and large coverage range forced other bender to defence . By the time other bender can pick up a rock, make a water stream, the fire bender can shoot 2 fire balls to their face. Not to mention, fire bender can draw fire seemingly out of no where, not limited to their environment like other bender. Finally, people always forget that all these thing are called Bending techniques, NOT elemental control. People have to do funny dance to control the element, not control by their will. Fire bending techniques surpass all others by their short incantation with acceptable damage. It's only rival by air bending but air bender are pacifist. People always think they can used some bending techniques differently and making one bending techniques OP but they are not realized that they are following and witness top bender of each elements and what they showed are literally the finest move people at that time can pulled up of. It's bending techniques, not X-men super power.

Honestly, I have to disagree. Air bending is by far the strongest simply because a master can pull the air from a person's lungs and suffocate them. I say Water bending is the weakest because unless you carry water with you or you're near a large source, it's not that useful. Earth bending is stronger because you can just break the ground underneath your opponent. However, Fire bending is severely underrated. Even if you can dodge it, just the heat from a close call could damage you. For my evidence, Both Water Tribes live surrounded by water. Let me repeat, they are SURROUNDED by water, but the Fire Nation navy doesn't face any hardship while sailing towards them. This is why I say that Water bending is the weakest. If an entire tribe of water benders can't use the OCEAN to drown a fleet of ships, then Katara shouldn't be nearly as formidable when she has just a single waterskin. Either it's bad writing, or the Water Tribes are just terrible. Also, while Bumi did defeat the fire nation forces holding his home, he did that during an eclipse. The Fire nation was winning their war with the other nations and almost took Ba Sing Se. How could that be if Fire bending is so much weaker than the other elements. The Earth Kingdom has no shortage of benders. Neither did the Northern water tribe. The Southern water tribe just kept losing their benders in each raid. Only the Air Nomads stood a chance. I actually believe that if it wasn't for the comet fueling them, the Fire nation would have lost that fight.😮

@vexicron_the_sandwich 4 месяца назад

While I agree, It is important to know the Earth Kingdom as the lowest percentage of benders. That said, they have the most overall people, so the number is probably still decent. Also, I'm pretty sure in Hama's flashback the Southern Water Tribe was entirely a mixture of ice & snow, so they could literally bend the surrounding city. Besides, while I also believe air to be much stronger, the Air Nomads were pacifists, so they likely didn't know how to fight well. While advanced benders like Monk Gyatso were able to kill numerous benders enhanced by the comet, the others likely didn't have enough experience to improvise fighting techniques to defend themselves. Since there were very few points in time when they had genuine reason to believe they would be attacked.

Fire bender are underestimated, They can create their own fire (so it is above water and earth in that category) It is the most offensive element (fire do a lot of damage, you have to block or avoid it) and lightning can one shot everyone if landed properly You have one of best mobility with fire (even mobility in the air) It is very easy to power up with weather conditions (day is easier than night) And I think the sub bending heat could be discovered (heating the body of your opponent, which can be legal and as powerful as blood bending)

@Deadflower019 4 месяца назад

I really dislike how Korra and the spinoffs handle bending, especially bending subsets. Niche ones like plantbending and sandbending are never brought up, metalbending no longer requires direct contact to work, bloodbending no longer requires the full moon OR MOTION WHICH IS FUCKING AWFUL, and lightningbending is ridiculously trivialized. In the original show, fire had the best advantage over the others because it was the only style that the user could produce. Since waterbenders and earthbenders could easily be separated from their elements (prior to metalbending) and the airbenders were massacred, this left the Fire Nation at a massive advantage. Additionally, since metal required intense heat to manipulate (prior to metalbending), the Fire Nation had an industrial revolution long before the other nations.

If bending played by real life rules, all the elements would be REALLY fucking lethal. Being burned alive is horrific. Air is everywhere, imagine people just creating a vacuum and causing you to explode from pressure. A 20 pound rock thrown at 50 miles an hour, on the lighter end of what we see in avatar, would punch straight through your chest. People tend to forget water is really heavy, just those basic water whips we see could cause heavy damage, not to mention being impaled by ice. Some of the stuff we see in the show SHOULD HAVE easily killed people, but because it's a PG show they aren't killed or at the very least maimed.

@MiraSmit 5 месяцев назад

Why would waterbender live in peace? Simple because very few waterbender can even learn bloodbending. Hama was a powerful water bending master and needed the full moon. Those who don't need a full moon or a moon at all are like one in a million. And psychic bloodbending shouldn't exist in a world where bending was based on martial arts and one of the ass pulls of legend of Korra that made no sense. Just like only a small percentage of earth benders can learn their deadly techniques. This holds true for all elements.

@joshuafrazier3904 4 месяца назад

I mean as far as I’m aware with enough training anyone can get to being able to bloodbend. Like bending doesn’t have genetic restrictions once you have a bending type you have the potential to learn all of its subtypes it’s just up to you to learn them. The worse it has is a talent restriction which can be overcome by years of training. Also blood bending is a relatively new technique since Hama was the first user of it and Katara was the second not mention it’s outlawed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason more bloodbenders don’t exist is simply because no one is allowed to learn the technique and without a teacher it’s near impossible to learn alone.

Fire bending has the lowest ceiling out of all the bending elements, with the least amount of op hax abilities. But it has the highest floor. No matter the environment or architecture, fire benders can bend freely. (The only exceptions being sub zero temperatures, but even then high level firebenders can regulate their body temperature) Even when they’re restrained or bound, they can bend with minimal body movement. And while air benders may be able to do many of these things as well, fire benders also are able to create more of the element that they’re able to bend out of nothing. While the other elements, can not

@GhasTown 4 месяца назад

Not really, though. You're taking the attributes of very gifted individuals and stating the entirety of waterbending is overpowered. It's definitely powerful, especially under certain users, but all the elements are powerful. You take waterbending, which allows plant bending, bloodbending (under a full moon), and water changing states of matter. But waterbenders need large bodies of water to do some crazy stuff, and as a country, they lost twice with a home-field advantage. Earthbending has lavabending and metalbending. Earth is everywhere, too, and the sturdiest element. Controlling the terrain in and of itself is broken. Firebending has combustion bending and lightning bending. If these hit you, you die. No ifs, ands, or buts. You are dead, no questions asked, and if not, you're in so much pain you'll more than likely die from shock. Airbending has flight and spiritual awareness, but air is everywhere, and it's invisible unless highly condensed. This advantage led to the Air Nomads killing hundreds of Sozin Comet-amped firebenders. Whatever "nerfs" in Korra for storytelling reasons aren't truly indicative of the true might of each element.

Pure heat energy, so if they can heat things up at will or combust the air around them, then they could just combust your lungs or make your blood boil. The avatar magic system only really works when you don't get to granular about what an element is or what specifically a bender can control. The secondary bending types are a mistake.

Edit: not to mention, the fire nation literally took over the world until the avatar stepped in. So I think fire is the strongest.

I always wondered why firebenders don’t have psychic heat bending. Like able to raise the temperature of anywhere they are. The fanbase seems to forget that the fire itself is only part of the problem. The big issue is the actual heat. If you ever been close to something that burns at hundreds of degrees, you’ll know what I’m talking about. This imo does give firebending a defensive ability. No need to even make fire. Just raise the temp up around you and no one can come close.
