Fortnite: How To Unlock Korra

Avatar x Fortnite brings the newest Avatar, Korra, to Fortnite, and here's just how players can unlock her to hone the elements and claim victory.

Luckily, these bending weapons can be found across a variety of sources, and this guide will help players find and use each technique in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Updated on April 13, 2024, by Ashely Claudino: Before the start of the Elements event, Waterbending was the only element bending technique in Fortnite Battle Royale. When the collab event went live, three new techniques were added: Airbending, Firebending, and Earthbending. On top of this, Elemental Shrines were also added to the map, making it easier for players to find and collect their favorite technique.

This guide has been updated with information on the new looting locations as well as the new techniques brought with the Fortnite x Avatar: The Last Airbender collab. All of these items and locations should remain accessible until the end of the event on May 13 at 2 AM ET.

How to Find Avatar Bending Mythics

There are four bending techniques in Fortnite: Waterbending, Firebending, Airbending, and Earthbending. Each Avatar Mythic can be found as floor loot or as chest containers, but there is one way that players can guarantee they'll get their hands on their favorite technique.

When the Avatar Elements event went live in Fortnite, several Elemental Shrines appeared on the island. There are eight Elemental Shrines in Fortnite, two designated for each technique; gamers can head to a shrine, open the Avatar Chest in the center, and guarantee themselves a bending power. Each Avatar Chests drops two of bending items that correspoding to the Elemental Shrine's element.

How to Use Earthbending

Earthbending is perhaps the best element bending technique in Fortnite, as it provides players defensive and offensive strenght. While Earthbending is equipped, players can press the Shoot button to throw rocks or the Aim button to create a protective rock wall.

When gamers choose to throw rocks at an opponent, they will inflict a hefty 85 damage at once. If the player has no shields, it'll get rid of a good chunk their health in a single hit. As if this wasn't enough to make it a great ability, it has five charges, which only take eight seconds to charge, and gamers can carry more than one Earthbending items and use one item while the other recharges, as the usage cooldown does not apply to each one in the user's inventory.

The rock wall feature creates a sturdy wall of rocks around the player to protect them from any oncoming fire. This is particularly helpful in Zero Build mode where gamers have no way to defend themselves out in the open.

How to Use Airbending

Unlike the other element bending techniques, Airbending can barely ever be used offensively. Airbending is a great mobility item in Fortnite, as it allows players to quickly move through the island in an Air Wheel.

Players can also use the Air Jump move in order to propel themselves into the air as well as any nearby players. This can be used to deal fall damage to unsuspecting opponents, but it's not very pratical. Nevertheless, many players choose to use one of their inventory slots to take Airbending, as mobility is one of the most important aspects in Fortnite Battle Royale.

How to Use Waterbending

There's a layer of complexity when it comes to Waterbending, as it's not as simple as just pressing a button and laying icey waste to enemies. Players can actually enjoy a few features of the Waterbending:

• Hurl sharp, icy projectiles at opponents
• Heal steadily up to 100 Health
• Regenerate Waterbending charges while swimming
• Swim faster
• Infinite ammo
• 10 charges per reload

Whilst the ammo for Waterbending is infinite, players do need to reload their ice projectiles every 10 throws, or, just whenever they feel like it. The reload animation is nice and quick, but even better still is the damage output.

If players shoot their ice projectiles, then they will fire two blasts in rapid succession. Each of them is rather small, so players do need to be pinpoint accurate in order to actually hit their target, but the range feels great, as does the damage itself:

• 22 body shot damage (per blast)
• 27 headshot damage

With 10 ice projectiles per reload, that means players can deal out a total of 540 damage if they hit each projectile as a headshot, which can be considered overkill, unless there's a squad that needs taking care of.

Damage isn't the only use of waterbending, as players will passively heal back lost Health, but only whilst swimming. Players do not need the item equipped, they only need to have it in their inventory to begin healing. Whilst rather slow, it can still best lower-tier storms, but probably won't save players who are getting shot by other players.

How to Use Firebending

Firebending is an attack-focused bending technique in Fortnite; it's a fast and simple technique that players won't have too much trouble learning. There only two moves: Fire Sweep and Fire Slam.

To use the Fire Sweep move, players have to press the Shoot button. It deals 40 damage but can be used several times within seconds, and it won't start a cooldown timer like its counterpart.

The Fire Slam move deals 80 damage, but it initiates a five second cooldown once it's used. It is a mighty power ability, but players must make sure that they have a back up weapon, their opponent will be defeated upon being hit with Fire Slam, or they have cover to keep themselves save.
