Avatar Legends The Fighting Game is awesome, however, I think it would benefit from more LOK characters. So far, the only characters in the base game are Korra, Zaheer and Nightmare Korra (her book 4 PTSD version).

Bolin and Lin are confirmed to come as DLC in the first year. Tenzin, Amon, Kuvira and Asami are all voting options (aside from Bumi) for the last character to come in the first year.

What character are you looking forward most of those (having a chance at) making it into the game in the first year? Or are there any other characters that you would want to see added?

Tagah is announced to come this fall as free DLC, which means he’s probably first. But who do you think realistically will come out first after Tagah? And who do you WANT to come out first?

Of course there’s also the vote character, but I am currently assuming this character will be last.

I need the belly bump to be in his moveset.

The outfit and the colours are very cool. Also the hair. I just love her design.

I’m curious which characters you guys consider essential additions from ATLA (Aang’s era) that aren’t already part of the base game or confirmed DLC.

By “must-have” I don’t mean characters who would simply be cool or fun to have. I mean characters where, based on their importance to the story and the Avatar universe, you’d look at the roster and think: “They should definitely be in the game.”

For example, if Azula wasn’t already in the game, I’d consider her an obvious must-have because she’s such an important character to the overall story. Same with someone like Iroh.

On the other hand, someone like Hama would probably fall more into the “nice to have” category. She’s a cool character and could probably make for a really interesting fighter, but she only appears in one episode and doesn’t have nearly the same importance to the overall story.

So, which ATLA characters do you think are genuinely essential and should be in the game based on their story relevance? Or do you think we’ve already covered most of the essential ATLA characters, and that the characters still missing are mostly “nice to have” additions?

I really love playing against villains. It makes matches much more fun for some reason.

Confirmed villains in roster so far are:

🔥 Ozai and Azula
🌪️ Zaheer (Red Lotus) and Tagah
Also Ty Lee (kind off) and Nightmare Korra (more or less)

There’s a lot of villains left, also in the Earth and Water category as you can see in the image.

Which one would you like to see added eventually?

I've been thinking about how they could design Amon as a character. I'm focusing more on the overall creative idea of how he'd function than on specific moves or gameplay mechanics.

The character has two modes: secret mode (Amon) and exposed mode (Noatak).

In secret mode, he does not use any (blood)bending in his moveset. He uses chi blocking and other non bending combat moves and is also evasive like he is in the show. The goal of this mode is to make him fight like he was before being exposed as a bloodbender.

Now, his super or ultimate could have strong bloodbending attacks. If he uses any of those, he gets into exposed mode. In exposed mode, his moveset also contains (blood)bending attacks. The goal of this mode is to make him fight more like when he was fighting with Korra and Mako.

The player could choose himself if he think it’s worth it to go from secret mode into exposed mode by using his super/ultimate.

(If this is too complex, he could also just switch the modes when he loses a round like Azula?)

Supports
Just like Azula, we could have supports that permanently keeps him in a mode.
- Luitenant or equalist: Amon is always in secret mode (would be fun to let the support react to him bloodbending anyway)
- Tarlok: Amon starts in secret mode and can convert to exposed mode.
- Yakone: Amon is always in exposed mode.

What do you think? How would you design Amon in the game?

The movie releases the 25th on Paramount Plus. We need to pay special attention to the Avatar panel at SDCC. Do you think they could be onto something movie related?

For some reason, I always found it quite strange why Unalaq had red/orange eyes during his Dark Avatar State. I understood why they did it, because it does not really look like it’s glowing, but if you look at Ravaa and Vaatu designs (and the white eyes during the original Avatar State) it only makes sense that the “glow” would be black.

What do you think?

Disclaimer: I am not saying Amon is going to win the vote, I just picked one to finish the roster.

This is how I would design the Year 2 to 4 roster if Amon would win the vote. If another character wins, they can be swapped with Amon (all other vote options are included as well).

I looked at ATLA/LOK representation per year, category balance (water, earth, fire, air, avatar, nonbender) of the roster, character uniqueness and popularity based on this sub.

I love how each villain was unique in terms of ideology, appearance, (sub)bending style, and just overall vibe.

Who should I vote? I NEED both Kuvira and Amon in the roster.

Unalaq is not exactly the most popular Kora villain. However, I think they could make a very interesting and unique character. Aside from that, Unalaq is a waterbender, and we desperately need more waterbenders in the roster.

So, despite him potentially not being your favourite character, would you think he’d be a nice addition to the game? What would you love to see if they make him a character?
