Same. I noticed the pages only list their bending as being tier 7C but there's several instances of people tanking attacks from benders and Zuko outright kicks away Azula's fireball. Was there some reason for only bending being 7C?

Hmm thats interesting, must be that they only qualify for an NPES for now? The "Avatar's Chi" does appear as an example of one in the UES explanation page, but idk if thats the same as bending for everyone. Should be smt to ask other ATLA supporters (which i have seen like 2 or 3 in the whole wiki lol)
There could be a case made for a complete UES if what you said is consistent through out the series.

Why not on profile?

In order to bend one's spirit/energy your spirit must be unbendable or you risk your soul being corrupted and destroyed by theirs

Aang has soul resistance but it's only listed for the Fog of Lost Souls.

I think all benders should get resistance to soul control and corruption 2 for this unless there's something contradicting it.

Why would this apply to every bender? It's a plot point that Aang's soul turned out to be pure, which suggests that it isn't a common thing.

In fact, in "A New Spiritual Age" in the Legend of Korra, Unalaq threatened to destroy Jinora's soul with spiritbending if Korra didn't open the portal, and there's nothing to suggest that he was bluffing.

I doubt Aang is the only one with an unbendable soul. We see Ozai is able to initially resist it so that already shows us others indeed can resist. It can just be a likely if people don't think all would have it.

Going by what the creators said in the episode commentary, Ozai's ability to resist it may also be unusual. Though I will wait to see what mods think, particularly DarkDragonMedeus.
 
Aang and Ozai should have this. maybe Korra as well. but i dont think this is a verse wide resistance tho

Yeah this is fine for Aang and Ozai.


Can't speak for any other feats that may exist, but a firebender kicking away a fireball is firebending.

Lol how? He's not producing that fire, he's just kicking it. There's also against combustion man when he's teaching Aang he's not killed by his fire.

Firebending is not just making fire, it's also the manipulation of existing fire. A non-firebender cannot kick away fire like that.

And against Sparky Sparky Boom Man, he blocks the explosion with firebending, seen as a guard of fire. He did a similar thing when he was blown up with his boat in book 1.
 
I'm with Zabazab here

In the whole verse, Korra is the only one i remember who actually scales/downscales to bending. She was boxing out Tarrlok's ice projectiles

It's certainly not a verse wide feat as Korra is at the extreme upper end of physicals in the verse

Their durability can scale (case by case basis) but definitely not striking strength

As for the soul stuff, I'm leaning towards agreeing based off that statement

Unulaq being capable of snuffing out souls doesn't really matter. His application can be layered
 
Can we really assume spirit to be soul in this context? In my opinion spirit is most likely energy here.
 
Since I am not an Avatar scaler nor a knowledgeable member, I can't say who would scale, but I am against general scaling due to how it's described. I really doubt everyone succeeds in this.

But yeah, Resistance to soul possession and ''soul'' corruption type 2 (since it's limited to the soul/spirit) looks fine.
 
bump. I can't believe I forgot about this but this gotta be added
