Background
Korra is the main character of the Nickelodeon animated series, The Legend of Korra. Born as the immediate successor to Avatar Aang within the Southern Water Tribe, she became the next Avatar in the elemental cycle. She was innately adept at using Waterbending, Firebending, and Earthbending from an incredibly young age. After being taken in by the White Lotus, she trained and honed her Bending abilities until she reached the age of 17 from top mentors like Katara.
Life for her at the White Lotus training quarters dipped into relative boredom because she couldn't learn Airbending there, so she stowed away on a ship to Republic City. She traveled to the city in order to get Airbending training from the current master, Tenzin. During her time there, she made multiple friends and would assume her duties as the Avatar to stop many international conflicts.

Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Gifted by herself (Although she is quick-tempered and impatient, Korra has shown incredible Bending prowess. By the time she was 17, she mastered three of the four elements, faster than even most Avatars. She effectively learnt modern Pro-Bending fighting styles in a short amount of time and incorporated it into more classical styles. Has shown to be quick-thinking in many situations such as disabling a mecha tank by bending water into its pipes and tripping up Benders. Could fight off two Waterbenders with physicals without needing to use Bending herself. Mastered her Bending to the point she can do it while heavily restricted and without gestures). Extraordinary Genius in the Avatar State (Has the combined knowledge of all the past Avatars, giving her thousands of years of experience) | At least Gifted by herself (Managed to effectively master Airbending over the span of a year. Picked up Metalbending rather fast to the point she could keep Suyin's expertly trained children on their toes. Could Firebend and Earthbend effectively while even being shackled). At least Extraordinary Genius in the Avatar State (Despite losing her connection to previous Avatars, she is far more connected to Raava than past Avatars aside from Wan. Can access Raava's intelligence, a being who has bonded and witnessed the lives of other passed Avatars and lived at least a hundred million years) | At least Gifted by herself. Unknown in the Avatar State (Lost her general connection to Raava and seems a bit more wild after having the poison in her body) | Genius by herself (After overcoming her PTSD, Korra became a Fully-Realized Avatar with full mastery over her Bending and Avatar State. Convinced Kuvira to stand down after disabling her Spirit Cannon. Became an incredibly effective public speaker. Pulled the remaining poison outside of her body when it was noted even Suyin, a Metalbender with 40+ years of experience, didn't have the skill to fully perform this). At least Extraordinary Genius in the Avatar State
Weaknesses: Korra is rather hotheaded and impatient. This often leads her to get into bad situations if others aren't around to help maintain these bad tendencies. However, this is mostly in regard to non-combat scenarios as she doesn't let these impulses affect her fights often at all. While she greatly surpasses most Benders, she still has some limits: she needs earth to Earthbend and water to Waterbend, the solar eclipse disables her Firebending, and the lunar eclipse disables her Waterbending. If she is killed in the Avatar State, she won't be able to reincarnate with the Avatar cycle ending. If Raava is taken out of her or destroyed, she will lose her connection to her past lives and lose access to the Avatar State entirely. She will be corrupted and destroyed spiritually if she doesn't perform Energybending correctly. Korra is also incapable of bending while in the Spirit World | Same as before minus the past lives part (she already lost access to them) and her impulsive tendencies have been greatly reduced | Same as before minus her impulsive tendencies. Her ability to properly fight has been influenced by the poison the Red Lotus injected in her. It led to it being hard to use her Bending as effectively as she used to. Additionally, she gained PTSD from her fight with Zaheer that often slips up her performance in battles | Same as before minus the poison effects and PTSD
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Bending: As the Avatar, Korra has the unique ability to use all four elements, and has the potential to become the most powerful bender in the world. Furthermore, since she was a child, Korra has always had a remarkable affinity for the physical aspect of bending. She also quickly took to the three different styles of pro-bending with simple instructions from her teammates, greatly impressing them after only a week of training to ultimately become a highly capable member of the Fire Ferrets. While in the Avatar State, Korra is able to use an air spout to raise herself into the air while unleashing all four elements in rapid succession. Later after more training, Korra becomes able to easily enter this form with complete control, even during intense competition.
*Waterbending: Korra's waterbending abilities manifested at a young age before she had even been recognized as the Avatar by the Order of the White Lotus. Subsequently trained formally in the art for over a decade by Katara, Korra has demonstrated a high level of skill in this art in addition to its various techniques. She is capable of creating large walls of ice, powerful water whips, and water waves strong enough to push back and, when frozen, contain an enormous mecha suit standing over twenty-five stories tall. She can also launch herself high into the air and maintain the height on a gigantic waterspout easily, fight off several aerial attacks with various water attacks, and propel herself plus another person through the water at high-speeds to avoid attacks. She used her waterbending abilities to procure herself a spot on the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team, referring to herself as a "top-notch waterbender". While she was taught Northern and Southern-style waterbending, which both employ fluid motions, Korra has quickly adapted to Republic City's more aggressive, straightforward waterbending style. Korra is also able to draw a sufficient supply of water from the air for her bending. Korra also has sufficient knowledge of bloodbending to understand the nature of its application, despite having never used the outlawed skill, questioning Tarrlok on his use of the ability outside of a full moon.
- Healing: During her waterbending training, Korra was also taught the advanced skill of healing. As Katara was well-regarded as the best healer in the world, Korra herself became highly skilled in the art, something she takes pride in. By using a small supply of water as a catalyst on the targeted area, Korra is able to drastically increase the healing rate of injuries. Korra's skills were great enough to quickly soothe away the pain on Bolin's injured arm, and mitigate the severe burns on General Iroh's arm, leaving no trace of scars.
- Spiritbending: Despite her short time studying under her uncle Unalaq, a spiritual expert, Korra managed to learn his technique of spiritbending, which involves changing negative energy into positive energy in spirits in order to pacify them. While she only managed to understand the mechanics in the beginning, Korra eventually successfully performed the technique and was able to calm countless small spirits at once. She was even able to use the technique to destroy Unalaq and purify the dark spirit Vaatu when the two were fused together as the Dark Avatar. Following her uncle's death, Korra became the only known living practitioner of the skill.
- Ice Floor: With a sufficient amount of water available, a skilled waterbender can cover a large area of the ground with ice, trapping their enemies' feet in ice while allowing them to slide around. The size and length are all determined by a waterbender's control, and more powerful benders can create larger floors.
- Ice Wall/Ice Shield: Waterbenders are able to freeze water in front of them, creating a shield or even a large wall of ice.
- Ice Spear: The ice spear is a waterbending move that involves freezing a stream of water into a spike and firing it at the intended target.
- Iceberg Spike: Waterbenders can shoot small shards of ice at their opponent, or cause a giant spike to protrude from a body of water.
- Water Ball: Similar to the bubble technique and the ice prison technique, a waterbender can trap their opponent in a ball of water.
- Water Cloak: A waterbender can use their water as a form of armor with tentacle-like arms. The bender can use these arms to grab objects or enemies, whip enemies, blast enemies with water, and freeze them. If a waterbender has less water available, he or she can simply form the arms instead of the entire cloak.
- Water Whip: The water whip is a commonly used move that involves creating a lashing tendril of water to swipe at an opponent. The shape, size, and length are all determined by a waterbender's control, and more powerful benders can create larger whips, or ones of greater finesse. The whip can be sharpened into a blade that can slice through metal with relative ease.
- Bubble: Capable waterbenders are able to cross large bodies of water by creating a bubble around themselves and their fellow travelers, maintaining a supply of air for their journey.
- Ice Ramp: Waterbenders can manipulate ice as a means of short transportation for themselves or others.
- Ice Tunneling: Waterbenders are able to swim through thick ice with the same ease as through water, allowing them to surprise their foes.
- Partial Ice Whip: Waterbenders can take hold of the end of an opponent's water whip and locally freeze the opposite end in order to trap their opponent and pull them in closer.
- Water Gliding: Waterbending masters can glide on water at high speeds, in addition to riding on foreign objects with the same purpose.
- Water Spout, Water Vortex, or Water Tower: This high-level technique involves controlling a whirlpool-like pillar of water, rotating it and directing its movements at the same time, making it easier for the user to dodge attacks. In accordance with the water spout's constantly shifting and coiling movements, it forms a giant snake of water around the lower body, elevating them from the surface of the water.
- Tsunami: Since they can control larger amounts of water, Avatars are capable of creating and controlling water bodies of far greater size and scale, including causing massive tsunamis, at will.
- Steam Manipulation: A technique that allows waterbenders to manipulate steam, and can also be used to manipulate fog or moisture. It can be used to freeze people or objects or to create cover.
*Earthbending: Korra's earthbending abilities also manifested at an early age. Spending many years of intense training, Korra has gained great mastery in this art. While regularly using traditional earthbending tactics in combat, she quickly learned the basics of pro-style earthbending from Bolin, able to attack more akin to a firebender with light footwork and quick jabs. Her prowess is great enough to easily take control of earth targets levitated by other earthbenders. She has demonstrated her adept skill and ability in earthbending on several occasions, notably launching a member of the Triple Threat Triad several stories into the air. Korra's earthbending is also able to affect a considerable radius, upturning and demolishing everything in the area. As seen when pairing with Bolin, Korra is able to effectively synchronize her earthbending with another person to increase the versatility and control of her target.
- Metalbending: During Korra's stay at Zaofu, Suyin Beifong offered to train her in the art of metalbending. Suyin started Korra on a meteorite as a beginner and she quickly adjusted to the metallic body and learned to mold it into various forms. As such, she became the first Avatar to learn metalbending. Korra quickly became more versed in metalbending, being able to skillfully wield metal cables with great dexterity and fluidity in her movements and ensnare her opponents, even more experienced metalbenders, with said cables. She can also tear through a large, thick metal wall obstructing her path, albeit with some difficulty as she is still somewhat new to this skill. Korra's control eventually became of such a level that she was able to remove residual traces of mercury out of her own body, easily pry open the roof of vehicles, and fluidly reshape metal.
- Earth and Stone Levitation: The most common attack involves levitating nearby pieces of earth and stone of numerous sizes (more powerful benders can move larger masses) and propelling them at foes with punching or kicking motions.
Earth Block: Earthbenders can bring up blocks of earth and launch them at their enemies.
- Earth Column: A more powerful version of rock projectiles, this technique involves forcing columns of rock out of the ground. Using a similar principle, an earthbender can shoot a stream of small ruts and protrusions from underground at their opponent. This can also be used to enhance the benders' jumps. It is, however, limited to the ground and does not have the same range as a rock projectile.
- Earth Wall: Earthbenders can create walls of earth, which can be used for both defense and offense, as well as for practical things, like construction.
- Enhanced Earth Levitatation: With their greater power and stronger connection to the earth, the Avatar can move hill-sized statues at will.
*Firebending: As with earth and water, fire also manifested at a young age. Due to the fact that she resorts to offensive maneuvers when under pressure, Korra relies a lot on firebending in combat. Her firebending training was finished when she passed the test impressively at the age of seventeen, having learned various advanced techniques such as the breath of fire. Against other firebenders, she can easily deflect and disperse the enemies' attack. Her control is so fine, she is able to produce a small yet intense flame at her fingers that she can maintain to melt through metal chains. She can likewise produce daggers in each hand for close-range combat. She can propel herself through the air with firebending in short bursts, and use these bursts to run along a wall. Contrary to the usual difficulty an Avatar has with learning the opposite of his/her native element, firebending has become second nature to her. Korra tends to utilize firebending when provoked, frustrated, or attempting to assert dominance, such as when she falls back on firebending a newspaper cut out of Lin after failing to do so with airbending. Tenzin attributed this unusual combination to her innate personality being quite fit for the art thanks to her natural assertiveness and fiery spirit.
- Blocking Fire: A skilled firebender can defuse and extinguish an oncoming fire blast from another firebender by using a swift kick, jab, or any other defensive maneuver, allowing them to stop attacks.
- Blazing Rings and Arcs: Spinning kicks or sweeping arm movements create rings and arcs to slice larger, more widely spaced, or evasive targets.
- Fire Daggers: Blowtorch-like jets which are created from the fist or fingertips to use as close range melee attacks. However, they lack the ability to actually block physical objects.
- Jet Propulsion: Skilled firebending masters are able to conjure huge amounts of flame to propel themselves at high speeds on the ground or through the air.
- Flame Redirection: In a similar fashion to waterbending, firebenders are capable of changing the course of an incoming fire blast and redirecting it back at the attacker using fluid motion. This move exemplifies the use of firebending as an extension of the body and is used infrequently in modern combat in favor of more offensive maneuvers.
- Shield of Fire: One of firebending's few defensive techniques, this technique creates a protective shield of fire in front of, or around, a firebender that can deflect attacks and explosions.
- Fire Pinwheel: A whirling disk of flame, capable of being used at long range.
- Fire Breathing: Fire breathing involves the user firebending out of his or her mouth, mixing air from the lungs with the flame, creating a wider, hotter blast.
*Airbending: Unlike the prior three elements, airbending did not come easily to Korra. Tenzin explained that it was due to its innate nature of being the most opposite to her personality. While initially having difficulty with airbending's fighting style and battle tactics, during her first pro-bending match, she was able to employ basic airbending movements to dodge the opposing team's assault and ultimately tire them out to win the match for her team. As her training has progressed, her understanding of its techniques greatly improved, and she was able to quickly and gracefully progress through the gates and ultimately learned all of its physical maneuvers; she later applied these tactics against the Lieutenant, effectively dodging all his attacks.
After Amon severed Korra's connection to her first three elements and was about to take Mako's firebending, Korra's emotional build-up allowed her to fully connect with her spiritual side to utilize airbending. Despite only knowing the theory and practice of its forms, Korra has shown considerable skill and power in airbending: being able to create air blasts from punching and kicking movements, which were strong enough to send Amon flying several yards through a window. Although she has shown great power in her offensive use of airbending, her style of airbending varies dramatically from other airbenders, employing straightforward offensive movements similar to firebending while showing little of the more characteristic circular and spiraling movements. Six months after the Anti-bending Revolution, she has nearly mastered the art, employing traditional maneuvers, such as gliding, and is able to proficiently use several advanced skills, such as the air scooter. Over time, she took to using a glider both for means of transports and as a way to augment her airbending in combat. After learning from Jinora, Korra became able to separate her spirit in astral form and travel to the Spirit World through meditation. Korra further refined her airbending in the following years, showing the ability to create an air bubble around a person's head to provide them with oxygen and keep poisonous gases at bay. Ultimately, air has become Korra's second most used element, and she is confident enough in her prowess to at least teach the basics to other airbenders.
- Air Punch/Kick: Another more offensive move than is typical of airbending discipline, air punches or air kicks are small, compressed formations of air that can be fired off the fists or feet of an airbender. This is similar to many firebending abilities and the air blast, in the sense that it involves the firing of compressed or solidified air at an enemy in a disjunct fashion i.e. the bender does not create a single great stream of air.
- Air Swipe: The air swipe is both a defensive and offensive technique in which an airbender conjures a crescent-shaped wave of compressed air capable of deflecting colossal projectiles.
- Air Propulsion: A skilled airbender can propel themselves forward at great speed by negating the effect of wind resistance.
- Air Spout: Similar to the water spout, master airbenders are able to rotate and control the direction of an air spout enough to levitate themselves off the ground and remain in the air for as long as they wish to or can maintain it.
- Air Sphere: With this technique, the Avatar creates a sphere of air around them, allowing them to hover for extended periods of time or fly at high speeds. The sphere also acts as a barrier to protect the Avatar, strong enough to withstand a high-velocity impact with rock.
*Energybending: Upon connecting with her past lives for the first time, Avatar Aang restored Korra's bending abilities and bestowed her with the knowledge of energybending. Although never having used it herself before, she was able to freely restore a person's bending, as she did so with Lin Beifong's earthbending. Following the Anti-bending Revolution, Korra extensively used energybending to restore the bending of those benders whom Amon victimized with his bending severing bloodbending technique, except for a few who used their bending for crime, such as Shady Shin.
Korra is also capable of using energybending to connect with her own inner spirit, giving her access to the cosmic energy of the universe, creating a giant astral projection of herself. In this form, she can unleash energy blasts from her chest that can overpower the Dark Avatar's in a direct clash. Although disconnected from her physical body, Korra remained capable of waterbending.
After Raava made her aware that when she was in the Spirit World, she was connected to all the spiritual energy, Korra realized that she was capable of bending that energy, with or without her physical body. As such, she was able to release trapped souls from a vegetative pod after she had meditated into the Spirit World and divert a beam powered by spirit energy in the physical world.*Avatar State: Korra taps into the cycle of reincarnation, and gains the accumulated knowledge, skill, and experience of countless previous lifetimes in addition to a dramatic increase in skill and knowledge it dramatically augments the power of his bending, allowing her to perform feats of power that would require multiple master level bender to replicate. However, if she's killed in this state, the cycle of reincarnation is permanently broken.
- Medium: As the Avatar, Korra also has the capacity to act as a bridge between the mortal world and the Spirit World, the plane of existence where the universe's disembodied spirits dwell. Despite this, Korra had always struggled with the spiritual aspects of being the Avatar, initially being unable to connect with her past lives or enter the Spirit World on her own.[12] As her training under Tenzin progressed, she had slowly begun to connect with her spiritual side, seeing visions of her past life as Aang. Later, after her encounter with Amon, all of her active bending abilities were taken away, but this allowed her to finally break free from her airbending block and defeat Amon. Upon sinking into despair after Katara was unable to restore her lost bending, Korra was finally able to connect with her past lives, which restored all her bending abilities, as well as passing on to her the ability to energybend. With her newfound spirituality, she can enter and leave the Avatar State at will.
*Chi Sensing: Using her chakra with the roots around him, Korra eventually became deeply connected to others individual and locate them.
- Martial Arts: Korra is also a highly proficient unarmed fighter, able to knock out opponents with a single kick, simultaneously dodge an attack while sweep-kicking the enemy's legs, and once subdued a man using only Mako's scarf. Even against an expert weapons-wielder like the Lieutenant, Korra skillfully parried and countered his close-range assault. Furthermore, with a combination of bending attacks, she was able to create openings and land powerful physical blows, ultimately defeating him. Even without her bending, she was able to defeat several chi blockers before being rescued by Naga.
- Social Influencing: Korra is also an eloquent public speaker. She was initially nervous when she had to speak in her first press conference in Republic City. During the gala, Korra's brashness got the best of her after being pitted against a group of reporters, haphazardly giving empty threats to Amon to cover up her fear of him. Over time, Korra became more confident and composed when it was required of her to speak publicly, considering her words before saying them. This was exemplified when she declared the independence of the Southern Water Tribe and her decision to keep the spirit portals open.
Key: Pre-Harmonic Convergence | Post-Harmonic Convergence to Pre-Red-Lotus Fight | Post-Red Lotus Fight to Pre-Spirit World | Post-Spirit World
Note: The reason Avatar State Korra gets significantly stronger, swifter, and smarter after Harmonic Convergence has to do with her connection to Raava. Although she lost access to prior skills and powers of previous Avatars, these Avatars were only empowered by a Depowered Raava. After the events of the recent Harmonic Convergence, Raava regained her Full Power form at its peak. This is the Raava that Korra bonds with, making her the strongest and swiftest Avatar ever. As for intelligence, past Avatars have shown that they don't consult with Raava and use her intellect fully. Rather, they are more reliant on the past lives themselves than Raava. Korra is more spiritually in-tune with Raava than previous Avatars aside from Wan.
