rawb

They can shoot fire strong enough to break rocks but it doesn't melt through people

with korra rules

water is the most broken

now that apparently they can remove bending

Water that can slice through steel but can only do concussive force to people

or bloodbend whenever

Korra lost to generic chi blockers

not korra her self

Firebenders would have to rely on some other form of airtravel that are not zeppelins to effective counter the earth kingdom vehicle wise

but the rules LoK introduced

Muh bloodbending

but LoK sucks so no

Earthbending lets them get the most raw materials and also manipulate it into their desired shapes

There's no competing with that

lol just ship them into the ocean

Earthbenders could probably make fire pretty easily by bending coal and flint and other shit

i mean really

if avatar wasnt a kids show

theyd make sharp rocks

and fling them out very fast

i mean

and just puncture peoples limbs

The invention of guns would be a relief for everyone around the world

waterbenders would just bend the moisture out of the people

waterbenders would win 100% of the time

Thank god we can fight back against the tyrannical earth kingdom

Fuck no

earthbenders have more range though

unless an airbender snuck up and lungbended them

Earthbending beats everything

even if waterbenders COULD do that

We need to know the range

an earthbender would have more range

a earthbender can fucking snipe

how close does a waterbender need to be to bend a person

Rocks are dense enough to deal with wind resistance at long range

we've never seen long range bending

Waterbenders need the full fucking moon

at most you have is sending projectiles

Fuck korra

for bloodbending yes

aang waterbent from a good distance

i think the farthest distance I can remember is like

from a boat

I assume it's harder to pick out the water particles when it's not pure water

^

that too

bloodbending needed full moon

extracting moisture from a human

especially from distance lol

extracting moisture didnt

Then again that one lady extracted it from hundreds of flowers in one motion

But that was kinda dumb

and then sliced the rock into pieces

actually that was a pretty close range

tbf

for the flowers

there was a like

a solid range for that

you saw the circle of alive and dead

unless she decided to just do the circle

well thats the only frame of refernece

because she was old and weaker than katara to be fiar

so

fair

i think it just depends on your focus

Old is not weaker

earthbenders are also better at closing distance

and removing distance

remove ground/earth so they cant come over/descend their position

then you can also make yourself go higher

and spring board yourself away

Earthbenders win at every range because they can move the same volume of material at the same speeds, but there's is much denser

Imagine the amount of landscaping you'd have to do to deprive earthbenders of their weapons

water benders dont really have a good fast travel

firebenders can "launch" themsleves I guess

airbenders can do it better

Only the most powerful firebenders can fly, and it still takes a lot of strength when not on sozin's comet

yea

again fuck korra
