Introduction

"The legends say the moon was the first waterbender. Our ancestors saw how it pushed and pulled the tides and learned how to do it themselves ... Our strength comes from the Spirit of the Moon, our life comes from the Spirit of the Ocean. They work together to keep balance."
―Princess Yue

Call forth lunar power against your enemies! As one of the deeply spiritual members of the Water Tribes, use a mixture of support and crowd control abilities to come out ahead of the competition. Indispensable in large-scale combat, Waterbenders possess both the ability to heal their allies as well as devastating effects on their enemies, allowing them to turn the tides of battle. In addition, Waterbenders can be highly mobile when traveling in water.

Furthermore, they gain a significant damage boost to their abilities during the night, increasing more during the full moon. The two bonuses do not stack with each other. Waterbenders will do different things with their abilities depending on which source they used to activate them. The different uses for each move will be explained in their respective areas, but generally, Ice will slow an opponent, Leaves will poison an opponent and Water will deal increased damage and occasionally do energy damage.

To gain more moves, simply meet the level requirement, then head over to the bending master in the Northern Water Tribe to learn them. All moves listed are free beyond this requirement.
