What is your favorite airbending move?
My Answer:
hmm it’s either amplification or Enhanced Agility….
OOC: a little airbending lesson
Amplification(a.k.a soundbending): A specialized form of Airbending in which the bender is able to generate massive amplified sound waves with the help of Airbending. One possible canon example of this is shown when Aang, while trying to lead animals out of the city to outside the inner wall, used Airbending to blow his bison whistle, sending massive sound waves throughout the city to call all the animals. He also used it to comically amplify his cry for help when trapped at the Sun Warrior ruins
Enhanced agility: Air movements can also be used as a levitation aid. Airbenders jump high and far by riding on strong gusts of wind, and can slow or deflect falls by creating cushions of air. The constant movement required by this art makes Airbenders naturally flexible and agile. Even without bending they can easily maneuver around an opponent by ducking, jumping, and side stepping, appearing to flow around their opponents without expending any energy at all, letting the opponent tire themselves out and thus creating exploitable openings. This conservation of energy combined with high stamina gives them an advantage in prolonged combat.Toph Bei Fong, a blind Earthbender, who uses her bending to tell where people are walking or running in relation to her, once told Aang that she could easily identify his walk by the fact that he has a very light step.
