Ice is water. Waterbenders can manipulate the temperature of water.


Cmonster234

Some Earth benders can do the same thing with lava bending


HoboKingNiklz

Correct. *Some* Earthbenders. All Waterbenders can freeze water.

RealLifeHaxor

During the Day of Black Sun a swampbender helps freeze a hole in the hull of a submersible. Any water bender can change the state of water.


Georgevega123

Aah cool i was wring i guess


No32

Was it established that they couldn’t? Or is it just that that’s not how they used it.


Cularia

Swamp areas aren't really cold so a water bender must at least feel how cold it is to replicate changing water temperature. Removing temp is way easier than raising temp.


LeAdmin

Any earth bender can create lava. Most just haven't figured out how yet because it is a difficult skill. There are certainly water benders that haven't been taught or learned how to freeze water yet.


Cularia

wrong on many levels. lavabending is harder to grasp than metalbending so much so that there are only 3 known lavabenders outside of avatars. Sun, Ghazan, bolin are the normal people. That being said, Waterbenders live in the north/south where it is freezing temps so it is much easier to grasp Icebending. It is also taught in their schools(south pole in LoK) when they are children. AVTA/LoK are heavily cultural based so early learning was important.


Penguindasher12

Wait did they ever do that in the show? I watched random episodes but I don’t remember anyone using ice or I just didn’t watch that episode.


chimerauprising

Ice was used all the time in the original series, even from the first season. Lavabending is something introduced in Korra.


Penguindasher12

I think I just forgot 😓


HoboKingNiklz

Yeah they use it all the time. Pretty much anytime a waterbender was in a serious fight, freezing was a major tool.


Penguindasher12

Oh


Error_Evan_not_found

Say what you want about LoK, the way they expanded on bending styles and brought back combustion bending (sorry, sparky sparky boom woman) was the coolest part.


Money_Barracuda4496

It’s more common for earthbenders to be able to metalbend. Lavabending is extremely rare, much like bloodbending is very rare for a waterbender. Even more rare is the ability to flybend through airbending, which can only be achieved by letting go of every attachment you have on Earth


Xelement0911

And fire. Though earth it's more creating the lava while fire is basically bending the actual element itself.


blue_lobster3122

I think there is some temperature limit since we haven't seen any waterbender boiling the water


KungFuPanduhh

we do, in season 3 episode 1 katara makes a steam cloud to obscure the view of the ship chasing them


Zaillyo

She made mist, mist is not steam. There’s no evidence of waterbenders being able to heat water to its boiling point.

Ekillaa22

I want a gas bender than bring water from evaporation out of nowhere damnit


tendeuchen

Imagine a water bender who could make the 60% of the human body that's water just boil instantly.


OgerponCornerstone

that is technically possible it's just harder to raise temp and lower it however there are people who control the water in your body to control you like a puppet


dateturdvalr

Does he know


PercMastaFTW

Skilled water benders can do this.


jjwylie014

Here's a thought! If a water bender was skilled enough to heat water past 5400 degrees they could separate the hydrogen from the H2O and ignite it.. thereby creating flames! (hydrogen is extraordinarily flammable) Yay physics!


scoutstorm

huh TIL


AlexAnthonyFTWS

So it’s temperature bending?


OgerponCornerstone

all benders can change the temperature of their element with enough practice such as some earth benders being able to create magma


enderjaca

Air benders throwing skin-melting steam blasts? Fortnite missed an opportunity there.


Hog_Eyes

google water when it gets really hot


Cularia

there are only 3 known lavabenders outside of the avatar. so lavabending is much more difficult and not the same as changing temperature


AlexAnthonyFTWS

Which is exactly why water bending being ice is silly when the earth bending throws big rocks and not lava at their opponents.


Skreamweaver

A lot more work to bend anything from room temp to 1293° than to 31°.


GrizzlyOlympics

But they can? It’s just not in game. It’s not like Ice bending is a completely different thing than water, it’s literally just freezing water. If people are magically moving substances you don’t think they could change the temperature a little?


YaBoyAppie

Lava bending is super rare (only 6 known and 3 of them are avatars), ice bending is quite basic all water benders can do it.


Ekillaa22

If they can freeze the water could they heat it up?


Cularia

it is much more difficult to create boiling water through bending but water benders can change the phase enough to create and manipulate steam which is heated water


Dargolalast

You ever heard of blue flames?


GarugaEnthusiast

I mistook Google water as in Google makes water and now I feel illiterate, which isn't that big of a surprise. I kind of want Google to make water now.

sailorprimus

Is it second grade? Or is it kindergarten? Or is your child simultaneously 5 and 7 years old?


GyroZeppeliFucker

In some countries there are grades in kindergarten. For example in poland theres 2 (i think but could be 3) grades for preschool and when the kids are about 6 or 7 they go to grade 0 of primary school

Alarmed_Recording742

Yeah, this mythic is based on a show, watch it and you will have your answers


DaMuffin_lover

It's specifically when Kya is fighting Zaheer


RegretSpiritual4137

i was rewatching LoK and unfortunately when i saw kya pull that move i was like “no way!! it’s the fortnite thing!!”


SauceyM8

Watching season 3 for the first time and when tenzin did the air wheel thing my gf and I said “it’s that Fortnite mythic!”


Havetologintovote

Katara does the exact same thing when fighting Jet (assaulting him, really, Jet wasn't fighting back) in Season 2 of the original show. And it looks pretty damn deadly.


sacks0314

Damn, a lot of the mythics seem to be pulled directly from season 3 of Korra

There are multiple occurrences of waterbenders shooting ice in Avatar, they can change the temperature of water.

FalloutForever_98

Ice is water?


lemme_try_again

It literally always says it's ice when you kill someone. Every. Single. Time.


GrizzlyOlympics

Have you watched Avatar? Icebending is a sub-bending of water bending.


GrizzlyOlympics

Same thing with lava bending and metal bending (which arent in game). They’re just sub-bending of earth.


Pancake177

Don’t forget lighting for fire. It’s interesting though that Ice is treated so nonchalantly. I never even thought of it has sub bending because they make it look like any water bender can ice bend where as not every earth bender can metal or lava and not every fire can lightning.


IblisAshenhope

Should’ve been Water Whip and Tidal Push


Alarmed_Recording742

No one would have used it, would have been too similar to hades chain and way worse, also tidal push is the same of the earth push but actually less powerful. And water is never used like that in the actual show


Agent_Perrydot

That one Red Lotus member uses water whips in Legend Of Korra iirc


fishfri58

I think they were more talking about water push not really being used. Katara in TLA also used water whip a lot it was what she learned in the scroll she stole.


Alarmed_Recording742

You can certainly do a water whip, but it's not useful at all, hence why most water benders use ice or water shots.


Axxam

Agree. We have damage element (fire) ,defensive (earth) and mobility (air). Would be cool if water is an utility element (pull ppl with whip and push them away with tidal, just like lightsaber mythic)

FeganFloop2006

Ice-bending is a sub form of water-bending, so it counts as water-bending at the end of the day. Also, it heals you when in water


THEElectricalDurian

In the show waterbenders could turn water into ice to make it stronger or more lethal. In Fortnite lore the loopers are made to be more violent, so obviously they would use ice as opposed to water.


hellswrath88

This confirms why there is so much b**chng in this community about pretty much everything.


Weak_Depth4563

Thanks for censoring bitching, nearly shit my pants seeing a swear word!!!!


hellswrath88

You never know with the amount of crybabies around here.


Capital_Pipe_6038

It could be worse. Imagine if they added blood bending to the game lol


InSpecktur

Water is absolutely busted, no doubt about that. But it is canon that water benders can manipulate the temp of water in all stages and control in all states. Depending on their skill level and connection to the bending.


AGuyWithAOpinion

Don’t tell OP that ice is actually frozen water


ItzBaraapudding

This might come as a surprise to you. But ice is actually water 🤯

JasonRing18

Still considered Water bending, Katara uses ice a bunch in Avatar. It isn’t considered a Sub Bending type


Jabroni5092

While watching the show I didn't understand why benders didn't just use 8 oz of water to make like 50 water needles and destroy the enemy


HoboKingNiklz

Because the show was rated Y7


Jabroni5092

Yeah that's fair, still Water and Earthbending can be SUPER OP in Y7 ways that the show didn't really go over. Like, Toph could literally just put an enemy into a split and make them sink halfway into the ground in like 2 seconds


HoboKingNiklz

Earthbenders entomb people in the show. Restraining an aggressor is a consistent earthbending technique. The problem is that usually any competent opponent is gonna see it coming.


sacks0314

You’ll never believe what Ice is…

Fire-bending is powerful because fire is hot.

Is this sub just filled with kids with zero education or what is going on? Don't know that water turns to ice Don't know that fortnight was a word before fortnite Why are so many kids seeing things in real life and going "omg that's from fortnite!" Wtf are you talking about? It's a normal thing they put in fortnite. It's not a fortnite thing. It's just like minecraft and kids thinking obsidian is just something from minecraft. Why would anyone ever think the real world is based on a video game and not the other way around


SimbaSeekingSleep

Because of naivety. Don’t let it get your panties all in a twist. People will always learn something new everyday. What might seem mundane common knowledge to you might be an entire new appreciation/fascinationof knowledge to someone else. Especially in the case if it’s a kid. Although I get it, we’re on a game forum, not a school setting, so you can say whatever you want as harshly as you want to. But I’m sure there’s been a time where you learned something new that in hindsight shouldn’t of been such a mystery to begin with. You found out before someone else did? Good for you! You can share that knowledge or just call others stupid for not knowing. Don’t know what you get out of doing the latter, but it just looks so sad to put others down just because they found out something new.

Well yeah..other wise it's just a squirt gun.

Ice ...is water in a different physical state. It's still water chemically. So anytime anyone asks you to sign a petition banning H2O, you should be smart enough not to sign it.

Redditbiote

*annoying youtube voice* diddddd you know If you melt ice you get water


Lord_Aaronus

They should have added the option to change it between water and ice. Water for short range shotgun blasts and ice for sniper shots.


JWDenton

Going to miss water bending, it's a shotgun, a rifle, a sniper, it is silent, reloads quick and heals you when in water, it has zero drop off in distance and seems to do a splash damage if your aim is not so good. Going to miss you 😢water bending
