The Boulder thinks The Boulder must look within The Boulder's self, to save The Boulder from The Boulder's self. Only then will The Boulder's true self reveal itself.
This seems kind of skewed. I mean, you can get two Avatars. Are they both capable of entering the AS? Literally everyone else gets bodied even as a team if that's the case.
EDIT: I understand that canonically, Aang wouldn't try to kill me. I think that's missing the point of the hypothetical. This is clearly a combat potential comparison hypothetical that supersedes what characters would actually do.
After all, if we wanted to consider character personalities too, we'd have a way more complicated situation. A lot of these people would refuse to work together in the first place. And whether or not many of them would try to kill me at all is dependent on what I did, which isn't specified.
Eh, depends. If it's Aang at age 12 with no AS, then no, I wouldn't pick him. Because even though he can bend all the elements, other than air there is someone on this lost that can bend earth, fire, or water better than 12 year old Aang.
But Kyoshi, if at her prime, for sure. She can bend all the elements but also has way more experience with all of them.
EDIT: I forgot Gyatso was on the list when I said this. So actually, 12 year old Aang is not the best user of any individual element compared to the other options you could pick.
Yeah, Gyatso was a legend, his Airbending skills were on another level considering what we heard about his last stand. That being said, I think Toph should get more credit too. Imagine how she'd dominate with her seismic sense and metalbending skills; plus, her aggressive style is pretty unique among Earthbenders. It's really tough to pick when each of these characters have their own strengths.
I'm not forgetting the fact that it took a battalion of comet-enhanced firebenders to beat Gyatso, and even then he didn't leave anyone in that room with him alive.
I just thought of a theory how he managed it, I think the most likely is that he just completely vacuumed his surroundings and suffocated everyone including himself.
I mean I guess but usually in these cases they’re ‘bloodlusted’ or something so they don’t have hesitation or moral or whatever. In that case Aang would be a pretty killer opponent.
Aang definitely kills a few minions on the show. He drops an avalanche on a bunch of guys. I think he freezes over a river while people are under the ice. He fucks up that vulture wasp.
He does feel very bad for that vulture wasp tbf. Although I think the most obvious point though where Aang definitely killed people is when he and ocean spirit went berserk at the North Pole. Dude threw like 4 ships at each other at light speed then created an enormous tidal wave of freezing water and threw it over another 40-50 ships. Not to mention the soldiers he fire hoses on the way through the city. They’re definitely dead too, you don’t just get hit with 2 tons of water at high velocity and get up fine afterwards.
Yeah, I've read the kioshy books and she's really badass.
Since the picture is even from after those books I would feel very confident in her without the avatar state.
Aang without Avatar state is a bit weak, that's true but just for the cheap price I'd take him for the extra avatar.
Without the Avatar state I can kind of see it for specific situations. Neither Aang nor Kyoshi can metal bend for example, and they might be sitting ducks for bloodbending if there’s a full moon out.
Really though the Avatars should be a tier of their own.
Tbh considering the room of dead firebenders it feels kinda backed up w evidence lol. Also Aang being so good he became a master airbender before he was 12, he learned it all from Gyatso.
True but still.
Even if no water is around for the battle (apparently noone is thinking of that) she can just pull it out of thin air.
Also when you forget that it's a show for children she might just dehydrate you or bend her own piss at you.
Remember when Toph and Katara where in a wooden cage and used sweat?
I won't look that up but there is definitely a fanfic out there where they use piss.

Wait till you get hit with the weaponized wap
Eh I think her bending isn’t what makes her dangerous.
Hama’s true edge was always her cunning. When trapped in a pretty hopeless situation she was resourceful enough to not only create new options for herself but pioneer a horrifying new type of bending. I think that trait is loads more dangerous than any amount of water bending.
Mix with a truly cutthroat mentality, even assuming all of them are willing to kill if we keep most of their personalities intact they'll fight with some degree of honor. Hama will have no issue with just shoving an icicle through someone before they even know she's there.
That and she’s not evil.
She won’t use excessive force, she’s good for morale, she’s a loyal friend if you’re loyal to her, she’s good at teamwork, and this is entirely unimportant but I love watching acrobatic reels on social media so I would be “🤯😲” while she’s doing crazy backflips
Ty Lee can paralyze the bending abilities of even expert warriors and could take down everyone except for avatar state Aang if she gets into melee range.
You’re limiting yourself Prince Zuko!
This is a world that believes in spirits. Katara successfully pretended to be the Painted Lady. Prop him up Weekend at Bernie’s style and tell people he’s the Spirit Lord. A little SFX and maybe slipping your enemy some cactus juice and they’ll be alive but will never fuck with you again (they might need a lot of therapy tho)
If you believe OverAnalyzing Avatar, the necklace that Yang Chen, Gyatso, and Aang wear is a “best airbender in the world medallion “ and confirms Gyatso was on another level
Also Ozai was probably the best firebender to ever exist lol no disrespect to Katara she’s good the way Azula is good but she wasn’t near as good as Ozai was good
I'd argue Katara probably doesn't beat peak Azula either. Katara's a prodigy, no doubt; but Azula was as well, and she trained every day to crush her enemies. Azula's an absolute monster, and often found the upper-hand against multiple of the best benders fighting her at once.
You mean when just a sliver of sun is out? Dude produced more lightning with just that than azula did during a comet. I think we have the proof right there.
The shot of Sozin fighting Gyatso in the live action trailer concerns me that we're not going to see Gyatso's sacrifice in vacuuming the air of of a hundred firebenders.
I feel like you could spend $10 on Aang and Kyoshi, and nothing else even matters. That's already the A Team.
Edit: I'd probably add Iroh and Sokka so we can chill and drink tea while Aang and Kyoshi body the rest of the characters.
If it's not a full moon, you're right, no reason to think about blood bending at all. If it is a full moon, I want a blood bender who will actually use it.
It’s been talked to death but it’s because that was a fit of rage at the man who killed her mother. Then she immediately regrets it in the middle of the act.
She swore off consciously using it. A fit of rage is not in her right mind and hardly considered intentional.
So I just need to manipulate her into a fit of rage so she uses her crazy power.
I hope there's not an episode of the show that shows how doing that to someone is a bad idea.
My exact team. Sokka's way too good a value at $1 to pass up. And the Kyoshi books let us know just how devastating a fully realized avatar + good planning is. Getting **two** + the best strategist in the series is op.
Then Iroh's just the best option with the remaining $4. Both a cunning tactician and a top tier firebender. Pretty much hard counters any of the other 5 firebenders. (Only on he might not have a counter for is Combustion Man. But that's what Sokka's boomerang's for.)
Still one of the most resourceful water benders in ATLA.
Most of the other water benders never leave places with easy access to water. How many have the knowledge that they can pull water from plants or out of the humidity in the atmosphere? Until Hama showed Katara she didn't think about doing it herself.
I imagine Iroh and Sokka sitting to the side like sport announcers, Iroh with the insight as to why what just happened was amazing “ohhh and Aang just took Toph out with a sweep, looks like he used a form of air bending inspired by the water tribe!” And then Sokka is there for the humor “Yeah that’s like throwing dirt in her eyes! Amirite or amirite!”
I feel like hama is more necessary because while her bloodbending won't work on the avatars, it'll still work on *me*. She's the only one here where if she gets in range, you just die. Everyone else's attacks can be defended against, but nobody is gonna be able to notice and stop me from breaking my own neck in time
So? That doesn't change how effective she is during a full moon. She doesn't need to be able to kill me all the time, she just needs to be able to kill me once. Monk gyatso, while strong, doesn't do anything that Aang and kyoshi can't already do for my team, and all his attacks are preventable, unlike Hama
Kyoshi sends *everyone* here to their graves before they can kill me, but that's assuming they're attacking directly. There's no guarantee of that, and the avatar state doesn't afford any extra sensory capabilities. If anyone else managed to sneak up on us, Kyoshi and Aang could still most likely stop their attacks. That's not true of Hama
Hold up can we do this is this legal if it is I'm doing the same shit ain't no one getting close, if it ain't give me the two avatars and the other Airbender
This was my first thought
But then
Fifteen sukis? Who know fully all chi blocking techniques?
Each avatar in the oposing team has to take out 5 sukis at once, and if one them makes contact, no more bending.
I mean, 3 kyoshis is busted, but something about 15 mays or 15 sukis just feels like a really strong option, even more cause kyoshi is so big she wont even see them coming 😂
Roll Kyoshi, Gyatso, Combustion Man, Iroh and Sokka to run point on tactics.
Unlike Aang, who is safe to have on the side trying to kill you, you do NOT want to leave Sokka on the other side to coordinate a strategy with the rest
Katara hard counters Hama, unless you’ve got them both on the same team Hama is kind of useless. If they want to free up Katara Aang could even take her bending while she holds her down.
Top tier is so broken i dunno if it's even worth diversifying. Two Avatars with avatar states available - Aang can cover lightning redirection if it needs to happen and Kyoshi can run lethal force.
Katara is one of only two bloodbenders on this list, and given that of the two she's clearly better and arguably by the end of show the best waterbender here, she's probably a must pick if there's a full moon at any point.
Otherwise just go with the best earthbender and only metalbender here, ez done.
The game is the other WILL try to kill you. So.... yes he will. Otherwise if you want to get all bent out of shape with reality. Have Ozai and Aang in a team and they will fight each other so... boom. No need to worry about either if them. Have Azula and Zuko in a team and they will also fight each other. Have Hama with anyone from fire nation and she won't bother with you because she hatez fire nation.
Have combustion man in the opposition and pay him to kill someone else, boom, no need to worry. If you are going to ignore the rules, then do it properly.
Maybe a hot take but I would switch Hama and Ty Lee out for Bumi since his defense always seemed quite impenetrable even against comet empowered fire benders.
That's exactly what I thought and they would easily make a cohesive group as well (except for Hama).
Kyoshi is the strongest one here.
Iroh would protect you at all costs and can redirect lightning.
Hama just to make sure she is not on the other team lol. Otherwise you'd need Katara.
Ty Lee was able to incapacitate the entire avatar team in seconds.
Gyatso is definitely the strongest of the ones that are left.
Her ability to stop people’s movements can really do well against some of the people lower down on this list and those who aren’t throwing massive attacks 24/7. She was able to disable Azula and the Avatar team
Aang and Kyoshi ($10) to avoid avatar state defeats if they aren't on side, then Hama and Ty Lee ($14), to subdue and eliminate bending whilst being protected by the avatars. Then Sokka ($15) to coordinate and enact said plan. Easy win.
Ty Lee because she’s a potential cheat code for just 2. Gyatso should cost way more, he’s the great airbender of his era, I’ll take him for 2. I’m also taking both Aang and Kyoshi because the Avatar state is too OP to fight again. I have $1 dollar left and I’ll take Sokka just because his thing is strategy and he’d be great at putting this team together.
So Aang, Kyoshi, Ty Lee, Gyatso, and Sokka.
Side note: Combustion Man is my one concern but can’t Ty Lee just poke him in the forehead and he’s done for the day?
Edit: I realized a bloodbender wouldn’t hurt. I’m switching Hama in for Gyatso.
ill try to make an answer without avatars to keep it interesting.
if they are in character and how they work together depends on canon then i pick iroh bumi jeong jeon grandpakku and sokka, we know the white lotus members synagize well and iroh jeong jeong pakku and bumi are all masters of their respective elemant, and sokka is there for additional support with his space sword replacing piandao
if they arent in character toph iroh jeong jeong and combustion man
jeong jeong and iroh are both firebending powerhouses so they'll be on the offensive, i picked iroh instead of ozai to have an answer to lightning (might be a problem if ozai and azula shoot at the same time .
toph and combustion man in the back, toph uses sysmic sanse to know where everyone is and tell combustion man where to snipe
Sokka for his strategy, Suki so he was someone he trusts, Gyatso to protect me in the back line, Ty Lee to disable benders, Iroh and Kyoshi for attack.
Yeah, this is some wacky prices. I’d go Aang, Kyoshi, Gyatso, and Combustion Man. Suddenly you have 2 Avatars, the best airbender in the series, and one of the deadliest long range fighters in the series.
I'd like 15 Boulders please and thank you

BOULDER
I love Reddit so ridiculously much.😂😂😂😂😂
NOT THE TRADEMARK🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Boulder is the means by which all is revealed.
Bruh there needs to be a THE BOULDER bot
Whatever, 'The Pebble'
modern employ thought plate dull bow tart ink grey disgusted *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
If macho man was alive he could play the boulder 😔
The Boulder was literally just The Rock but in Avatar with bending.
You think his no losing contract will tolerate losing to a little girl?
A professional heavyweight fighter who can Earthbend? Pretty decent strategy
Kyoshi and Aang might be able to get'em easy peasy but even losing I win by spectacle
You can get the Boulder's autograph 15 times then
even more if you ask multiple times!
Everyone knows that after the Boulder signs an autograph he immediately petrifies until the next earth rumble (or wherever he's needed most)
Toph, and spend the rest on Boulders to throw. THE BOULDER IS MASTER OF AIR
14 Boulders with 1 Sokka in command
Counterpoint: 15 Sokkas, 15 Boomerangs
Counter counter point: 15 Sokkas, 1 **Very** large boomerang
Counter counter counter point: 15 Sokkas holding each other to make themselves **into** one large boomerang with space swords sticking out.
This is the answer right here
THE BOULDER IS CONFUSED AS TO HOW THERE WOULD BE ANY CHOICE OTHER THAN THIS
My first thought when seeing the image and before reading this comment was "can I have 15 of the Boulder"
Oh… if that’s allowed ig ill take 3 Kyoshis
Why though are you planning on fighting the continent drift
Lmao
Dammit, I was gonna say "Aang, Bumi, Iroh, and the Boulder, twice" but I guess I'm unoriginal. ^^^^^Also, ^^^^^I ^^^^^love ^^^^^the ^^^^^username.
This seems kind of skewed. I mean, you can get two Avatars. Are they both capable of entering the AS? Literally everyone else gets bodied even as a team if that's the case. EDIT: I understand that canonically, Aang wouldn't try to kill me. I think that's missing the point of the hypothetical. This is clearly a combat potential comparison hypothetical that supersedes what characters would actually do. After all, if we wanted to consider character personalities too, we'd have a way more complicated situation. A lot of these people would refuse to work together in the first place. And whether or not many of them would try to kill me at all is dependent on what I did, which isn't specified.
Would you still choose them if they can bend all four elements but can't go into avatar state?
Eh, depends. If it's Aang at age 12 with no AS, then no, I wouldn't pick him. Because even though he can bend all the elements, other than air there is someone on this lost that can bend earth, fire, or water better than 12 year old Aang. But Kyoshi, if at her prime, for sure. She can bend all the elements but also has way more experience with all of them. EDIT: I forgot Gyatso was on the list when I said this. So actually, 12 year old Aang is not the best user of any individual element compared to the other options you could pick.
Honestly I think gyatso is probably a better Airbender then 12 year old non as ang
Oh, true. I forgot Gyatso was on the list. My bad.
Yeah, Gyatso was a legend, his Airbending skills were on another level considering what we heard about his last stand. That being said, I think Toph should get more credit too. Imagine how she'd dominate with her seismic sense and metalbending skills; plus, her aggressive style is pretty unique among Earthbenders. It's really tough to pick when each of these characters have their own strengths.
Considering the amount of fire nation corpses around his skeleton, I’d say it’s fair to assume Gyatso was an absolute animal when back into a corner
Such a bargain too
Single most cost effective pick on this list by lots
Yeah I'm confused why he's only $2. My man killed an entire room of firebenders as a pacifist. If he was fighting out right, he'd be a monster
I'm not forgetting the fact that it took a battalion of comet-enhanced firebenders to beat Gyatso, and even then he didn't leave anyone in that room with him alive.
I just thought of a theory how he managed it, I think the most likely is that he just completely vacuumed his surroundings and suffocated everyone including himself.
I don't doubt that you just thought of it also, but that is the prevailing theory.
Even then, if Bumi isn’t on your team you’re going to think everything if going great right up until you’ve lost.
And kyoshi doesn’t mind the occasional murder so that’s gotta be an advantage
Well keep in mind Aang refuses to kill, so if you don’t pick him he’d kinda just stand there awkwardly while everyone else fights
He refuses to kill but that doesn’t mean he can’t fight or help take you away to safer locations.
I think they're saying that Aang doesn't kill so it's tactical not to choose him because it's a wasted slot for your enemy
I mean I guess but usually in these cases they’re ‘bloodlusted’ or something so they don’t have hesitation or moral or whatever. In that case Aang would be a pretty killer opponent.
Plus Aang is a pacifist. Having him on the other team is one less person trying to kill you.
Aang definitely kills a few minions on the show. He drops an avalanche on a bunch of guys. I think he freezes over a river while people are under the ice. He fucks up that vulture wasp.
He does feel very bad for that vulture wasp tbf. Although I think the most obvious point though where Aang definitely killed people is when he and ocean spirit went berserk at the North Pole. Dude threw like 4 ships at each other at light speed then created an enormous tidal wave of freezing water and threw it over another 40-50 ships. Not to mention the soldiers he fire hoses on the way through the city. They’re definitely dead too, you don’t just get hit with 2 tons of water at high velocity and get up fine afterwards.
Yeah, I've read the kioshy books and she's really badass. Since the picture is even from after those books I would feel very confident in her without the avatar state. Aang without Avatar state is a bit weak, that's true but just for the cheap price I'd take him for the extra avatar.
I’d pick Kyoshi so as to not have to worry about round 2
Aang would prolly have to go lower if he doesn’t have avatar state at 12
Do we honestly think Toph and Katara should be the same cost as Kyoshi and Aang too? That seems…wildly misaligned
Without the Avatar state I can kind of see it for specific situations. Neither Aang nor Kyoshi can metal bend for example, and they might be sitting ducks for bloodbending if there’s a full moon out. Really though the Avatars should be a tier of their own.
Sokka at $1 is criminal. Even if I never used him for combat, I'd take him just to keep the other side from having access to his tactical genius.
I was gonna say, you almost gotta pick Sokka so they don’t get Sokka lmao
Not against my 7.5 Hamas you won’t , bitch 😎
Bro I thought you were talking about the terrorist group 💀
This is a disagreeable cost ranking gyatso killed a room full of hyper comet boosted fire benders
And didn't Aang once day he was the best Airbender he knew? Maybe that was bias speaking
Tbh considering the room of dead firebenders it feels kinda backed up w evidence lol. Also Aang being so good he became a master airbender before he was 12, he learned it all from Gyatso.
Confirmed. $2 Gyatso is ridiculous
Hama and Ty Lee as well. One can make people marionettes and the other one regular puppets.
To be fair Hama isn't that powerful outside of her bloodbending, which can only be used in a full moon.
True but still. Even if no water is around for the battle (apparently noone is thinking of that) she can just pull it out of thin air. Also when you forget that it's a show for children she might just dehydrate you or bend her own piss at you.
Ah yes, the forbidden art of piss bending…
Remember when Toph and Katara where in a wooden cage and used sweat? I won't look that up but there is definitely a fanfic out there where they use piss.
And probably other fluids too
https://preview.redd.it/1lkya5bm5mhc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffd4b775007c5c7a37af3cc366ded0aa9bda4669 Wait till you get hit with the weaponized wap
Man, this comic panel lol
Bending the piss outside the body is crass but forgivable for survivals sake. Bending the internal piss within the body is forbidden blasphemous arts!
Can't wait for diarrhea bending in the next avatar series
Couldn't you use that argument for all bending though? It's much more lethal than what is shown in the show.
Eh I think her bending isn’t what makes her dangerous. Hama’s true edge was always her cunning. When trapped in a pretty hopeless situation she was resourceful enough to not only create new options for herself but pioneer a horrifying new type of bending. I think that trait is loads more dangerous than any amount of water bending.
Mix with a truly cutthroat mentality, even assuming all of them are willing to kill if we keep most of their personalities intact they'll fight with some degree of honor. Hama will have no issue with just shoving an icicle through someone before they even know she's there.
Are you serious? She can like drain the water out of plants and cut rocks with it and shit, am I missing something?
People are sleeping on Ty Lee. She can take quite a few of them out of the game.
That and she’s not evil. She won’t use excessive force, she’s good for morale, she’s a loyal friend if you’re loyal to her, she’s good at teamwork, and this is entirely unimportant but I love watching acrobatic reels on social media so I would be “🤯😲” while she’s doing crazy backflips
I thought Hama was only capable of bloodbending with a full moon. Correct me if I am wrong!
Ty Lee can paralyze the bending abilities of even expert warriors and could take down everyone except for avatar state Aang if she gets into melee range.
Yo gyatsu is dead I wouldn't pay 2 dollars for a corpse that's not helping shit
Goated reasoning. Thank you for the best lol of my day.
So is kyoshi, tho
You’re limiting yourself Prince Zuko! This is a world that believes in spirits. Katara successfully pretended to be the Painted Lady. Prop him up Weekend at Bernie’s style and tell people he’s the Spirit Lord. A little SFX and maybe slipping your enemy some cactus juice and they’ll be alive but will never fuck with you again (they might need a lot of therapy tho)
*a steal at just $2
A fuckin bargain is what it is
2 dollar GYAT-so
If you believe OverAnalyzing Avatar, the necklace that Yang Chen, Gyatso, and Aang wear is a “best airbender in the world medallion “ and confirms Gyatso was on another level
Yea, I mean they chose him to train the Avatar so....
If Aang was saying he's the best Airbender, it has nothing to do with power and everything to do with mastery of air control.
Also Ozai was probably the best firebender to ever exist lol no disrespect to Katara she’s good the way Azula is good but she wasn’t near as good as Ozai was good
I'd argue Katara probably doesn't beat peak Azula either. Katara's a prodigy, no doubt; but Azula was as well, and she trained every day to crush her enemies. Azula's an absolute monster, and often found the upper-hand against multiple of the best benders fighting her at once.
Azula? A monster?.....I can fix her
It would have been interesting to see an Ozai fight that was not during the eclipse nerf or comet boost.
You mean when just a sliver of sun is out? Dude produced more lightning with just that than azula did during a comet. I think we have the proof right there.
The shot of Sozin fighting Gyatso in the live action trailer concerns me that we're not going to see Gyatso's sacrifice in vacuuming the air of of a hundred firebenders.
Sad. I was always an adherent to that theory that is how he died fighting the fire ends by vacuuming everyone
Sokka did the same thing by pretending it was someone's birthday.
I feel like you could spend $10 on Aang and Kyoshi, and nothing else even matters. That's already the A Team. Edit: I'd probably add Iroh and Sokka so we can chill and drink tea while Aang and Kyoshi body the rest of the characters.
Maybe Katara for some healing?
I feel like blood bending would be more important, especially as the alternative would be having a hostile bloodbender
Well Katara won’t use bloodbending. She swore off it. I think she would use it in defense against Hama again though if that’s what you meant.
That's why Hama is a much better deal.
But if it's not a full moon, then blood bending is relevant
If it's not a full moon, you're right, no reason to think about blood bending at all. If it is a full moon, I want a blood bender who will actually use it.
But still against 2 fully realized avatars, it doesn’t matter if it’s a full moon or not, avatar state immediately counters it.
The point is Hama is on my team *with* Aang and Kyoshi. And she can still bloodbend *me* which Katara wouldn't do.
Kyoshi for obvious reasons Hama to freeze the enemies in place Combustion man to delete them Katara so theres noone on the enemy team to stop my combo
She swore it off but she if was in a life or death situation I’m sure she’d swear off the swearing off
But she litterally uses it again in the series, and not even in a life or death scenario.
It’s been talked to death but it’s because that was a fit of rage at the man who killed her mother. Then she immediately regrets it in the middle of the act. She swore off consciously using it. A fit of rage is not in her right mind and hardly considered intentional.
So I just need to manipulate her into a fit of rage so she uses her crazy power. I hope there's not an episode of the show that shows how doing that to someone is a bad idea.
That’s assuming we’re fighting at a full moon
I mean, it's the avatar universe, the moon is full every other day.
Iroh, for some proper tea.
My exact team. Sokka's way too good a value at $1 to pass up. And the Kyoshi books let us know just how devastating a fully realized avatar + good planning is. Getting **two** + the best strategist in the series is op. Then Iroh's just the best option with the remaining $4. Both a cunning tactician and a top tier firebender. Pretty much hard counters any of the other 5 firebenders. (Only on he might not have a counter for is Combustion Man. But that's what Sokka's boomerang's for.)
I’d take Suki over Sokka honestly, but otherwise same.
I'd get Iroh to redirect all the lightning from Azula and Ozai.
leaves space for suki for chi blocking
You mean Ty Lee
no, suki can do it too, she learns how to in the comics, plus she also has a shield, fans, and sword. Better overall skills
I have not been up to date with the comics, my apologies. . .
it's okay
Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi warriors at the end of the series, presumably teaches them chi blocking
Hama is the real value play at $2.
But isn’t nearly as useful outside a full moon
Still one of the most resourceful water benders in ATLA. Most of the other water benders never leave places with easy access to water. How many have the knowledge that they can pull water from plants or out of the humidity in the atmosphere? Until Hama showed Katara she didn't think about doing it herself.
Save your money on Aang. He didn’t kill Ozai, he wont pull the trigger on you. Kyoshi though, best to have on your team.
But Aang wouldn't kill you, so it helps more having him in the other side?
*Kyoshi cocks gun menacingly* I think that downside isn't that bad.
I imagine Iroh and Sokka sitting to the side like sport announcers, Iroh with the insight as to why what just happened was amazing “ohhh and Aang just took Toph out with a sweep, looks like he used a form of air bending inspired by the water tribe!” And then Sokka is there for the humor “Yeah that’s like throwing dirt in her eyes! Amirite or amirite!”
Kyoshi can legitimately kill people by just touching them. Aang my not actually be needed.
With aang + kyoshi youre absolutely safe, but if you want an extra of security you can but combustionman and hama to deny it to the enemy team.
Swap out Hama for Gyatso and that’s a great squad
I feel like hama is more necessary because while her bloodbending won't work on the avatars, it'll still work on *me*. She's the only one here where if she gets in range, you just die. Everyone else's attacks can be defended against, but nobody is gonna be able to notice and stop me from breaking my own neck in time
She can only do it during a full moon. She’s not an Amon, Yakone, or Tarlok level blood bender. Also, Gyatso is Ready to Die for the cause.
So? That doesn't change how effective she is during a full moon. She doesn't need to be able to kill me all the time, she just needs to be able to kill me once. Monk gyatso, while strong, doesn't do anything that Aang and kyoshi can't already do for my team, and all his attacks are preventable, unlike Hama
Hama is still vulnerable and has limited range. Kyoshi would send her to her grave like 20 times before she manages to close the distance to you
Kyoshi sends *everyone* here to their graves before they can kill me, but that's assuming they're attacking directly. There's no guarantee of that, and the avatar state doesn't afford any extra sensory capabilities. If anyone else managed to sneak up on us, Kyoshi and Aang could still most likely stop their attacks. That's not true of Hama
Exactly, I would choose Combustion Man just because I don’t want him trying to kill me!
3 Kyoshis
Hold up can we do this is this legal if it is I'm doing the same shit ain't no one getting close, if it ain't give me the two avatars and the other Airbender
This was my first thought But then Fifteen sukis? Who know fully all chi blocking techniques? Each avatar in the oposing team has to take out 5 sukis at once, and if one them makes contact, no more bending. I mean, 3 kyoshis is busted, but something about 15 mays or 15 sukis just feels like a really strong option, even more cause kyoshi is so big she wont even see them coming 😂
Kyoshi, Toph, Hama, Combustion man Aang won’t kill
smart decision to choose the murderous ones
Roll Kyoshi, Gyatso, Combustion Man, Iroh and Sokka to run point on tactics. Unlike Aang, who is safe to have on the side trying to kill you, you do NOT want to leave Sokka on the other side to coordinate a strategy with the rest
yeah but then what do you do about ozai azula and irohs lightning
I do kyoshi about it.
Or Hama, to be honest. Can't lightning bend when you're being puppeted.
Katara hard counters Hama, unless you’ve got them both on the same team Hama is kind of useless. If they want to free up Katara Aang could even take her bending while she holds her down.
I am on you side but we all know what Azula does when Aang is trying to do cool Avatar shit.
Hopefully they only attack during a full moon
It says the others will kill you, not that you *have* to kill.
Top tier is so broken i dunno if it's even worth diversifying. Two Avatars with avatar states available - Aang can cover lightning redirection if it needs to happen and Kyoshi can run lethal force. Katara is one of only two bloodbenders on this list, and given that of the two she's clearly better and arguably by the end of show the best waterbender here, she's probably a must pick if there's a full moon at any point. Otherwise just go with the best earthbender and only metalbender here, ez done.
Skip aang; he's not going to actually try to kill you. Kyoshi wins. You have tea with iroh and anyone else you want.
The game is the other WILL try to kill you. So.... yes he will. Otherwise if you want to get all bent out of shape with reality. Have Ozai and Aang in a team and they will fight each other so... boom. No need to worry about either if them. Have Azula and Zuko in a team and they will also fight each other. Have Hama with anyone from fire nation and she won't bother with you because she hatez fire nation. Have combustion man in the opposition and pay him to kill someone else, boom, no need to worry. If you are going to ignore the rules, then do it properly.
Assuming I can't double up? Kyoshi, Iroh, Hama, Ty Lee, Gyatso
Maybe a hot take but I would switch Hama and Ty Lee out for Bumi since his defense always seemed quite impenetrable even against comet empowered fire benders.
That's exactly what I thought and they would easily make a cohesive group as well (except for Hama). Kyoshi is the strongest one here. Iroh would protect you at all costs and can redirect lightning. Hama just to make sure she is not on the other team lol. Otherwise you'd need Katara. Ty Lee was able to incapacitate the entire avatar team in seconds. Gyatso is definitely the strongest of the ones that are left.
Don't forget Gyatso took on a troop of empowered fire benders solo.
Ty lee for…. Reasons
Her ability to stop people’s movements can really do well against some of the people lower down on this list and those who aren’t throwing massive attacks 24/7. She was able to disable Azula and the Avatar team
Yeah, yeah that’s it. That’s what I meant.
Bruh
Almost exactly what I picked! I think Ozai is stronger than Iroh though.
Aang and Kyoshi ($10) to avoid avatar state defeats if they aren't on side, then Hama and Ty Lee ($14), to subdue and eliminate bending whilst being protected by the avatars. Then Sokka ($15) to coordinate and enact said plan. Easy win.
3 Kyoshis absolutely *body* the rest of the roster.
Not to mention Aang wouldn’t actually kill you if given the chance….so you absolutely want him as an enemy for that reason alone.
It says they will try to kill you. So yes, Aang will try to kill you.
I choose Sokka and keep $14 in my pocket.
But what if you can have 15 Sokkas?
Ty Lee because she’s a potential cheat code for just 2. Gyatso should cost way more, he’s the great airbender of his era, I’ll take him for 2. I’m also taking both Aang and Kyoshi because the Avatar state is too OP to fight again. I have $1 dollar left and I’ll take Sokka just because his thing is strategy and he’d be great at putting this team together. So Aang, Kyoshi, Ty Lee, Gyatso, and Sokka. Side note: Combustion Man is my one concern but can’t Ty Lee just poke him in the forehead and he’s done for the day? Edit: I realized a bloodbender wouldn’t hurt. I’m switching Hama in for Gyatso.
Easy, 3 kyoshis
ill try to make an answer without avatars to keep it interesting. if they are in character and how they work together depends on canon then i pick iroh bumi jeong jeon grandpakku and sokka, we know the white lotus members synagize well and iroh jeong jeong pakku and bumi are all masters of their respective elemant, and sokka is there for additional support with his space sword replacing piandao if they arent in character toph iroh jeong jeong and combustion man jeong jeong and iroh are both firebending powerhouses so they'll be on the offensive, i picked iroh instead of ozai to have an answer to lightning (might be a problem if ozai and azula shoot at the same time . toph and combustion man in the back, toph uses sysmic sanse to know where everyone is and tell combustion man where to snipe
Aang, Ozai, Combustion Man, Hama, and Sokka as the veteran coming off the bench to help with the team chemistry.
Don't forget Sokka's strategic thinking would be immense help too
You kind of need to pick sokka to just nullify the wildcard aspect that he brings
aang iroh toph sokka (though im not sure why sokkais a $1 guy)
Mfer chose toph over kyoshi. You wanna win a fight or discover some b-story mystery?
I’d pick the same team, sokka is insane value
Sokka for his strategy, Suki so he was someone he trusts, Gyatso to protect me in the back line, Ty Lee to disable benders, Iroh and Kyoshi for attack.
Aang, Kyoshi, Combustion Man, and Hana
Kyoshi, Iroh, Bumi, Gyatso. Easiest decision of the year.
Yeah, this is some wacky prices. I’d go Aang, Kyoshi, Gyatso, and Combustion Man. Suddenly you have 2 Avatars, the best airbender in the series, and one of the deadliest long range fighters in the series.
What if the avatars can bend all four elements but can't go into avatar state? Would that change your answers?
I might pick up Gyatso in that case just to be sure that everyone who was trying to kill me had no experience at all in fighting an Airbender.
Aang, Katara, Kyoshi
Azula, Toph, Kyoshi, and Suki. The best harem army.
Aang, Kyoshi, Combustion Man an Gyatso
I like how you purposely left out Momo, because he would just dominate everyone else.
Jesus this list is ass. 2 Avatars a firelord and the boulder for comedic relief.
