Water is the element of change. The moon is the source of power in waterbending, and the original waterbenders learned to bend by observing how the moon pushed and pulled the tides.

Origin A water lion turtle bestowed the power of water to those who lived atop its shell. During the era of Raava, the power of water was first granted by the water lion turtle, who would temporarily provide it as protection to those venturing into the Spirit Wilds. However, after the lion turtles renounced their roles as protectors of mankind during the era of the Avatar, the turtles refused to give people the power anymore. The descendants of the people living atop the water lion turtle eventually learned to waterbend by observing how the moon pushed and pulled the tides of the ocean they learned how to simulate the effect themselves. As such, they have a strong spiritual connection to the Moon and its counterpart, the Ocean.

Fighting style The waterbending scroll contains illustrations of various techniques. Waterbendings strength is its great versatility. Rather than supporting a separate set of offensive methods, waterbending employs defensive techniques that can be transformed into attacks and counters defense into offense.

Waterbending abilities and techniques Breath of ice A waterbender can use their breath to rapidly freeze objects, such as metal chains, or an opponent. For a more advanced version of the technique, the user takes a deep breath and exhales the air as a cloud of freezing mist. Katara used this technique to freeze Jet to a tree,6 to save Sokka from Huu,5 and to stop a warship from sinking by temporarily freezing a hole in the ships hull. Aang and Roku have used this technique to freeze lava. Aang also used this ability to break the chain when Bumi was being lifted by a crane. Ice blade Waterbenders can create a swordlike blade of ice. Ming Hua used this technique to threaten a delivery truck driver in order to smuggle her and her companions out of Republic City8 and again during her battle with Kya at the Northern Air Temple in an attempt to skewer the other woman. Ice bullets Waterbenders are able to rapidly shoot shards of ice at their opponents. Tarrlok used this technique in his fight with Korra,1. Desna and Eska used this against Ming Hua1. Kya used it against Zaheer. Hama formed ice claws in a demonstration to Katara. Ice claws Shown by Hama, using ice claws involves the bender drawing water around their fingers and freezing it. They can also be sent forward, shooting them at an opponent. A waterbender can also use this as an advantage being small and unnoticeable, they can hide them in their sleeves just like Mais weapons. Additionally, this technique uses little water and thus can be performed quickly using the condensation technique. Ice creeper A waterbender can send a ray of ice on the ground, speeding at an opponent to freeze them. This technique freezes a trail of water beginning with the waterbender performing the move and ending with their targets freezing. This technique was first performed by Katara when she accidentally froze Sokkas feet to the ship, before she was able to freeze three Fire Nation soldiers. Kya used this technique in her fight with Zaheer. Ice disc A waterbender can create a cylindrical column of ice and proceed to slice razor sharp sections of it off and send them at an opponent. They are sharp around the edges but also thin, as Master Pakku was able to break them with his wrists. Ice gauntlet Similar in technique to the ice claws, a waterbender can freeze water around their hands and turn it into a sharp spike that can be used to scale mountains or impale their opponent. Tonraq made use of this in his battle with Zaheer on Laghimas Peak. Ice hook Waterbenders, if creative enough, may form a hook out of ice which they can use to climb vertical surfaces. Ming Hua bent ice hooks to climb up the walls of PLis prison while carrying her. She also used an ice hook to take out a White Lotus sentry when breaking out of her prison. Ice shield Waterbenders are able to freeze water in front of them, creating a shield of ice. Katara performed this technique on numerous occasions during the Hundred Year War and Korra later made use of it to protect herself from a metalbending police officer who chased after her during her first time in Republic City,1. Dark Avatar. 1. 8 Kya also employed this move to defend herself and her brother, Bumi, from rocks launched by Ghazan during their battle at the Northern Air Temple. Katara used an ice spear to threaten Yon Rha. Ice spear The ice spear is a waterbending move that involves freezing a stream of water into a spike and firing it at the intended target. This move was used by Katara when she was about to strike down Yon Rha1. Korra also used this technique when she faced Amon. Iceberg spike Waterbenders can shoot small shards of ice at their opponent, or cause a giant spike to protrude from a body of water.
