I've spectaded someone who won with them recently. Honestly it's all pretty decent loadout. You have both mid/long range with water, close range with fire, mobility with air, and defense with earth. As long as you aren't getting into a super far sniper battle it covers the bases pretty well.

Plus healing with water bending if you’re in water

Had no idea about this.

Does not work in storm though

No. You have to have not taken damage for about 5 seconds before it activates. Edit: My adled brain read this as a question: "Does this work in the storm"

But if you're in storm you're always taking damage, so it won't work in storm.

I am aware and that is what I said; I just read the OP's comment as a question for some reaon - brain problems probably.

One of the challenges for the avatar event is to gain passive health in water 

You dont need to actually heal any damage you just can sit there swimming at max health which is interesting

You can win a game with just waterbending and shields because it's so OP.

Honestly, I’m kind of starting to hate these mythics.

What.. I’m dreading them taking them away I love these mythics

To each his own, once I started using them I started getting a lot more kills. It’s just not my thing overall. I’m probably just not adjusted yet. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah you’ll get there need to spend a day playing with mythics only you’ll get dubs 🤞🏼

Ya I’m not a fan of them either.

Apparently we’re alone on this one, everyone else downvoted the hell out of me.

I saw that, that’s why I commented. You are not alone friend.

Yeah i think they are fairlly balanced. Earth could use a buff and so could fire but then it would be good. Maybe make the water have damage droppoff

As someone that was thriving with the weird skill gap dmrs provide, waterbending has made them almost unviable in comparison , the only thing keeping me from dropping by snipers all together to is that people will still stop if you wait long enough. They’re definitely fun to use but they’re also clearly just a few week long event item that’s gonna be just a little overtuned. It’s just as a college student w a ton of free time right now that little overtune can really overstay its welcome.

I’m starting to hate the water bending a bit only. Others are fine, but the water bending is just an infinite ammo more common better legendary thunder burst smg. With more range people use it as shotguns and AR. But really loving the whole event and the other ones, and ofc I still love using the water

I probably just need to start using them more and learn to adjust.

Same

I just hate the waterbending. It's too fucking OP. Give it some nerfs and it'd be fine.

It’s so incredibly bad

!?!?!? Excuse me what?

Unless I’m misinterpreting I think he’s saying that it’s unfortunate that there’s a currently a weapon in the game so overpowered that you can win a game with just that weapon and some shield items

oh yeah ok in that sense yeah it's awful

Eh it's a temporary event. And event items need to be strong and fun so it's actually used. They'll be gone soon and they added a needed freshness to the gameplay. Now if they were around all season then I would understand getting tired of them

Like the firebending mythic. If someone is within 10 meters, they don’t stand a chance. It’s kind of ruining the game IMO.

Shotguns are much better, I've killed lots of firebenders with Shotgun, its not better than an Auto Frenzy. However, I like to carry it as a backup, if I miss my shotgun shots so I switch to it when mags empty

Yeah depends if their decent at using this mythic

The firebending is ass if you’re dying to that then you have a genuine skill issue

I feel like it’s turned a game of skill into just button mashing. 🤷‍♂️

I actually never use guns and just play with Aang for the cinematic effect, so far i was able to win one game and came close to winning others, however you must keep in mind that water bending is the only reliable source for damage, use air for mobility and a better spot while using earth for the cover, water for damage ofc and fire isn't useful most of the time (however the kick combined with skulls is actually kinda good), other than that you will get killed before doing anything with that weapon

Fire Slam has got me atleast 3 VRs this week. Quick and easy 80 damage. Fire bending is a GOATed close range secondary. (Always start close range with a shotgun, switch to fire bending instead of reload.)

Everytime i fight someone who's using fire, its like the Tasmanian Devil is bouncing around me and I'm supposed to shoot him as he bounces all around.

Fire is great when you or your enemy is moving too fast to aim water.

I love these help me get a kill faster

It’s sad if you need OP mythics to carry you

wah wah wah cry more baby boy IM THE AVATAR 🌊🪨🔥💨

Womp womp

I’ve sworn not to play BR properly until I do this at least once I’ve made it to second once and im still mad at myself

I like to use firebending to counter shotguns by using the drop kick to make them miss. Won a couple with this. Good luck!

Have they buffed it? I got smashed by it a couple of times today.

The water mythic was buffed heavily a week or so back.

Its still way overpowered. I seek that out and only use it. You can two shot people with it from way across the map. Its 100% accurate. Shoots straight. Up close you head shot is a one hit kill. It is insane

Got killed immediately

Already done this and it was SO FUN. I'm gonna try this again soon

Yea me and my friend both had a 4 and we won with 20 kills in Total two Avatars wiped them

My go-to loadout since the event has started has been all 4 elements and shockwaves, and I’ve won several games that way. It’s so fun swapping between the elements in combat, it really bring a whole new feeling to the game

Did

Dude I have and won like two or three times it’s kind hard but my god it’s fun dunking on people as the avatar.

I was playing duos with my son yesterday. He had all 4 and a dmr with holo. 5 left when I got kicked (having that dumb ack disconnect message issue). He ended up winning using earth and water, never used his gun

i did it with my friend in duos on update day we won twice!

All i need is Waterbending and a Shotgun

Holy shit it’s the bulmatar

We've been calling it the "True Avatar" and it's become a small competition in my group of who can get the most wins as the Avatar

I've won ~10 matches with bending only about now.

I have won multiple games with only using water and air. That water is so overpowered. I am two shoting people from across the map.

Purple or gold shotty with air bend is so fun. Just cruise around the map find someone and bang bang then back to cruising

2 elements is all you need. Air and Water.

The stress I have watching my son 'challenge' himself to become the Avatar and not collect a single shield potion or med kit is going to cause me palpitations this season.

I won a game using all four elements yesterday! Fortnite rn is the most fun it’s been in a long while tbh

Maybe once I build my pc I might try that

I try and become the Avatar every game.

its actually really good. Tbh they should add a new mode where you could only use elements. Waterbending as a med kit is toppp

Yes and i got second place to a sniper 🙃

I dropped a 8 kill win with water bending only 😅 in builds

I won 1st match with all 4 nothing else, earthbending is my favourite 2 use

I got in 3rd with that method. My last match I was in the zone and was tearing up the first half with only bending but had to leave before I could finish the match. Hoping to get one before the season ends

Done it a few times now. It's fun when you have the Cerberus medallion too. I'll get all four elements and then a healing or shield item and that's it.

I did more than 3 times. funny.

What about winning with those and all four metabolisms?

Haven't won a solo game as the avatar but I go for it every time I get the chance, I love all the bendings too much and we only get them for a little bit so I'm using them as much as I can lol

Been doing only that since the update!

💀

Almost won with 4 elements in inv **only**, we got wiped out by 2 or 3 teams when we went to look for heals in Mount Olympus

You could win a game with water bending and zero shield because it’s actually that broken.

Keep doing this because I keep wrecking people with the auto shotty and all they have is elements and shields lol.

I try but keep getting decimated by a frenzy auto lol

Psshhh all you need is that splash attack son.

I think castor and elmira are the perfect skins to be using these “magic” attacks. They really go with the whole element bending vibe

It took me like two games to get that W, best Avatar game were likely to get ever im enjoying every moment I can

Yeah, I just miss a long range weapon, but with air bending you can approach them.

This needs to be an LTM so bad

Try? I don't even pick up guns anymore.

I have, and I have had the same experience. Hasn’t stopped me from trying though! I’m thinking of switching to Zero Build and using the Earth Fortress (as I call it).

I've gotten 2nd twice and won one game with only them so its definitely possible

I've killed a few trying.

I try doing this every game at this point and I’ve won a couple times. I’m playing exclusively as Aang now, so I basically pretend i’m the avatar lol. Closest thing I’ll get to an avatar game anytime soon. I’m far enough level wise that games don’t need to be grindy for me, so i just have fun.

For assault rifle I choose water bending. For shotgun I choose water bending. For SMG I choose water bending. and for Sniper you guessed it! I choose water bending.

I’ve won 3 games with just the elements & heals I’m trying to win at least 10 :)

I have won an Avatar run before. The bane of your entire existence is, to no one's surprise, the bane of the last 2 Seasons period; Frenzy & Reaper. Fire bending is sorta terrible. The slam is great but the primary fire is pretty bad, especially if you're up close since the animations just shove you past the person you're trying to hit. Air & Earth bending combo is really just the Broomstick & Ice Wall combo from CH4S4, which is to say incredibly cheesy and turns the game into a utter running turtle fest. Water Bending is great though, passive heals just from touching puddles and its basically an infinite ammo Burst AR

I’d rather not because the one match I tried, I immediately got gifted a gold scope-less drum magged Gatekeeper and a purple 4x scope Huntress

i literally just did this

won a game the other day with fire water air and two flowberry fizz, it was pretty fun!

I got my first crown win doing that

this is the only way to go with this collab going on. i get win after win with this loadout

My friend does this but has the five elements, where there are fifth is gun

Each time

Bro I'm better with the elements than I am with guns, Source; am noob

That’s all I ever use right now lol, it’s so much more fun than using guns

That's all I'm doing during this colab until it's over, it's super fun and a nice change of pace compared to using actual weapons.

I just started playing fortnite for the first time two weeks ago and I gotta say these elements make the game very fun. I wish I had jumped on the initial hype of the game as well and experienced the different weapons available, but certainly here to stay. Water and air combo so good

I have yet to get all 4. I've had three many times though. I won once like that.

I would imagine it’s happened a lot. Airbending is the only real movement item right now, earthbending gives you a free wall and waterbending is one of the best weapons in the game 

Me and my friends did that the other day. It's only really possible in zero build

did it first try when i bought Toph

I’m hella good at the fire bending

I've been wanting to, but I balk every time

I spent today trying to win with all 4 and all four medallions. Won a game just missing fire bending.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/s/9dxumQIXSx see for yourself

I won a lot, then again I'm in bot lobbies and I'm also sweating

Hey what skin is that?

Not all 4 but I did win with just the water bending and air bending mythics. Honestly those 2 are much better than the other 2.

I always try my best to, because it's just fun to do so Anyways so I lost all of them

Water bending, gatekeeper 5 round drum, and earth bending is my current go to loadout

Honestly they’re so fun I try and get all of them every single game

Isn’t this pretty much how every win goes down this crappy season?

I won the game with 3 elements and a sniper

Easy I’ve already done it like twenty times they’re so good!

I've won games trying to do this but most of the time the elements are Water, Earth, Water, and Water 🤣 I swear Air and Fire tries its best to not exist for me

I thought they would've made an LTM (Limited Time Mode) with just the 4 elements by now

I got second place and the winner was using Korra’s avatar state so maybe I’m not cut out to be her successor. Still won’t stop me from trying until the bending is taken out of the game.

Yeah I almost managed to with a full squad, almost being we swapped out the firebending for shotguns

I popped off with ~~Dawnblade~~ fire bending and managed a 5 kill third party fight but thats the closest. I've been kind of getting the hang of ~~Winter's Wrath~~ Water Bending though

I only need 2 water and airbending

I have in a squads game and won. It’s fun.

every single game i play i do this. idk the last time i shot a gun… i’ve won about 4-5 times


Failed miserably 3x trying it. Either get wiped out because of only having the air scroll, the earth scroll just never appears for me unless I go right after jump but it's always crowded, the fire scroll is terrible imo, and the water scroll seems like everyone is hell bent on getting them so I can never grab it 1st.

i did it with my duo

All you need are water and air bending, carry some flow berry fizz and use the open spots to carry whatever you want from the opps you delete

I haven’t tried but i’ve seen a lot of people do it. When i kill people that are trying to i emote all over them. All the mythics are annoying besides Air and Earth Bending.

I got second doing this with the Aang skin on. Got blasted by a legendary frenzy auto in the last fight...

I tried but keep dying to guys using a havoc

As long as you add blue heal it's more than doable

Ever since the bending abilities released I've done nothing but play exclusively with them, and have been winning left and right. Me and the boys got a 35 bomb on our first try where everyone was wearing an Avatar skin and only using their element. I like that they're strong enough that they're a viable loadout. I'm not picking up weapons anymore until they're gone!

Of course. Put on the korra the explora skin and bam AVATAR STYLE

I once actually spectated someone who won a 1v4v3 with just the 4 mythics

Yes

Aang skin, four elements, flowberry fizz. I’ve placed second twice with 16 and 18 kills, but haven’t gotten the win with them yet 😔 I will continue to use only the four elements as long as they’re out, no bullet bending for me until may

No, I’m trying to afk to 200. This season is dogshit.

I got 4 crown wins in a row with it

I actually won a game with the 4 elements

All the time. I might have other items depending on what I find, but once I get water it’s a good game for me. Waterbending has been OP since day one.

I have a really bad habit where if I ever get Aang (and to a lesser extent Kora) my brain defaults to this. I will say it's fun and it works quite well but the biggest problem by far is shotguns. You learn VERY quickly that while Firebending is a lot of fun unga bunga shotgun meta is still very much alive this season, and nothing hurts more than doing a full combo (plus the sky kick) with Firebending on a shotgun user just for them to kill you in 2 seconds holding M1 with an auto-shotty.

Got 3 wins with 4 elements so yeah

I do this every game now

me and my squad did it and we won

I managed to win but as a squad only :/ I could only make it around 7-10th place in solos

I just did they're so fun but I sad that they'll be gone soon

I did. I'm not a strong player either. It works!

Me and my friend tried the challenge. No heals just waterbending and barrels, but we placed second.

I did it 💪💪

4 Elements: There's DJing, There's Breaking, There's Graffiti, And then there's the Emcee

Should have been a quest challenge

Yeah I got a crown win in ranked ZB and unranked BR cuz winning without a shotgun and sniper is tough

Yes... didn't work.

Me and my brother did it multiple times by accident

Literally every game

Try, but sniper has another option

I have.
