Composed by Azula and her two friends, Mai and Ty Lee, this trio is what most would call, the Pitch Perfection of Avatar. Each and every one of the 3 specializes in a different fighting style. Bending, Pressure Points and Marksmanship.
Now, let's skip into the individual analysis:
Princess Azula
"Some call lightning, the cold blooded fire. It is percise and deadly, like Azula" - Uncle Iroh (Bitter Work)
The pride of the Fire Nation, cold and calculating, the Prodigious Princess herself, is a deadly force that won't hesitate to destroy everything in her path, to victory.
Abilities & Skills
Firebending
Azula's primary weapon in battle is her firebending. Thus, creating and manipulating flames that offer her immense power, mobility and overall battlefield prowess.
Raw Power
Princess Azula showed extreme amounts of raw power with firebending in many occasions. This includes both offence and defence:
Burning down earth shields with a casual fire-blast created by her fingertips. Notice that Aang and Katara are still hurt even when away from the shield.Fire blasts that explode in conduct.Charging her fire, Azula created a massive blast strong enough to destroy Aang's crystal armor and send him flying.Similar to the one above, Azula makes a blast powerful enough to KO Avatar Aang, while behind a rock formation. Notice that she did that while dodging Aang's attack.You can see the force her fire hides. This enormous blast makes conduct with Zuko's to create a breathetaking flaming clash.Creating an enormous fire wall that completely vaporizes Katara's near-tidal wave. This will be even more effective on keeping any of your team members at bay.Another one that shows both her offence and evasion. She jumped high in the air, and fired 2 vey strong shots that once again, sent Aang flyign backwards when he tried to shield against them.Just a small fireball that hit Zuko directly, KOed him for the rest of the battle. This is an even more impressive feat since Zuko has some crazy durability feats himself.
I don't know how anyone in your team can deal with this firepower and output. Let alone tank it.
Versatality
Apart from all the power that firebending offers, Azula can manipulate fire in many ways. She is extremely innovative and this is evident by the good amounts of diversity she demonstrated during the whole course of ATLA, to this date:
Jet Propulsion. A technique that allows Azula to boost herself up to the skies.
Azula used this once again in the comics to create an even bigger and faster boost. The training she had between Book 3 and this comic pays off, granted that judging by the artwork of this technique and the lines, she used the technique in a much faster and more effective way. Much like this way:
Even better than that, probably.Fire that cuts clean through buildings, litteraly slicing without much effort.Fire Whips that she can manipulate mid-air.Fire PinwheelFire Daggers, The ability to generate small fire knives for CQ.Fire Breathing. This rare bending technique allows you to breath fire. Granted that this is comet amped firebending, it still shows that Azula is also able to breathe fire unamped, since the Comet doesn't give you any new abilities. It just powers up the ones you have.
All this diversity offers her great amounts of battlefield prowess. I will discuss the strategy part later.
Attack Speed
Something worth bringing up is her bending speed:
Look at how fast those fireballs are coming. 10 times faster than Zuko's making both Aang and him, struggling to keep up.
Lightningbending
Being a master firebender, Azula is also able to bend firebending's sub-element, lightning. This gives her the edge against many opponents, allowing her to unleash fast and immense power in the field.
Charging, Diversity & Effects
Azula's lightning might take charging, but not much:
In the heat of the battle, Azula can charge lethal lightning in 2 seconds.
This allows Azula to go on the defence and start running back thus having enough time to charge lightning and start killing people. Darius who is both slow moving and an electricity conductor would be the perfect opponent against the Fire Nation princess.
The effects of these lightningbolts are highly destructive:
Gallery
We see above, that her lightning destroys parts of mountains as well as fodderizes Toph's best defensive barrier nightime (when Azula is weaker).
Apart from her charged lightning, Azula demonstrated many different lightningbending techniques. Some named ones:
Lightning Sphere
Gallery
Azula charges a large lightning sphere. Notice how she is inovative enough to use this technique never used before, while insane.
Instant Lightning
Gallery
One of Azula's best traits is Instant Lightning generation, meaning that she doesn't have to charge to create a bolt anymore. While these instant bolts aren't lethal or do not KO unlike her charged ones, they are extremely useful to pressuring the opponent, and esspecially in this battle, it will be even more useful since one of Azula's opponents is a walking metal man.
Azula demostrated other techniques like Lightning Redirection but I won't rep those since they aren't useful for this battle. However they do show that she is the most skilled lightningbender in the whole Verse, which says a lot, doesn't it?
Physicals (Reflexes, Agility, Speed & Durability)
Azula is a physical powerhouse capable of peak-human abilities in departments such as agility and durability:
Reflexes
In order to fit to her overall battlefield prowess and environmental awarness, Azula showcased many times how incredible her reflexes were:
Gallery
In the GIFs above, we see Azula dominating a 3 way fight as well as keeping up with 3 opponents at once, and all those, while she is in the middle.
Gallery
Azula is now dancing around an amred with fire daggers, Zuko. She won't let him touch her and she is easily evading each and every attck threatening to slice her.
There she is dodging Mai's projectiles various times:
Gallery
Azula is also seen reacting to sneak attacks CQ:
What's even more impressive is that she did that while she was distracted from chasing Katara. Pretty ridiculous showing for reflexes if you ask me
She also has feats of dodgding and disarming Suki and her kantana point blank:
Agility
Gallery
In the GIFs above, Azula is dodging continious air swipes while jumping around and parkouring through the whole chamber not letting Aang touch her. She is one of the most agile characters in the whole AvatarVerse and in this battle.
Let's not forget even more showings though:
Spaggato to swiftly avoid Aang's surprise boulder.Here, she casually jumped about 15 ft. up in the air attacking Aang and Katara.
Durability
She doesn't look like it at first, but Azula has showcased crazy endurance feats:
She tanks a point blank explosion without a single hair out of place. This is kinda crazy for a durability feat.Tanking a direct hit from her own lightning without a scratch. Notice how she charged the lightning before taking it. She has extraordinary great durability.
Gallery
Tanks Aang's shockwave and about 1 minute later shown sliding off the drill like nothing happened.
Even if they land a hit on Azula, she is not gong down easily or at all.
Mai
"Yeah, she has deadly aim" - Creators (Inteview)
Mai is the daughter of a noble man in the Fire Nation. She chooses to not express herself quite often, but when she does, nothing is stopping her. Today, Mai will acompanny her 2 friends in the way to victory.
Abilities & Skills
Marksmanship
A skill that she adopted at her bedroom out of boredom by throwing knives on her wall, and later advanced to a fighting style, Mai is one of the best marksmen around. The most perciese person in this battle, she has the ability to one-shoot anyone on your team, and will not hesitate to do so:
Mai nearly tags Aang in an extremely impressive shot that forced the Avatar to dodge using airbending.
Factors to be considered here:
Height disadvantage over 20 ft. and overall distance over 50 ft.
Nightime, dark making it much harder to see
Aang had to use airbending agility to dodge the attack
Pinning people down on trees is casual for Mai.
Notice how she pins the Kyshi Warrior down from the clothing without hurting her, while she barely stared at her to aim. She is extremely quick to the draw while at the same time, ridiculously percise.
Mai has overall very impressive feats from this scan. We'll focus on the first one that shows her dagger thrown from below. Why is this impressive? She throws the dagger while kickied by Azula on the ground and yet the dagger is percise enough to slice Azula's mask without even touching her neck.
Probably Mai's best marksmanship feat to date.
Here, Katara runs and attempts to create a wave. Mai is too fast though, and here's where the impressive thing is. Mai barely even stares at Katara and yet, she throws the daggers to pin down Katara's hands through her handbands, almost simultaneously. You know what we're talking about. Those handbands, that are basically stuck in Katara's hands, leaving Mai about 1-2 mm. target to hit, which is almost no target at all. And yet, Katara doesn't even get a scratch.
This feat turns even more impressive, when you realize that Katara was moving her hands up and down while Mai was throwing the daggers:
Another interestign showing for Mai. Aang threw a debris in front of her, in hopes of stopping the knives coming. But before the debris even fell, Mai threw a quick spinning dagger on the wall, that got through the falling debris, and caught up with a running Aang while Mai was not even able to see where he was.
In this fight, something like this is extremely helpful because she can throw the knives on the walls around us tthat way, to hit targgets protecting against her, head on.
And let's not forget that Aang would have been done if he didn't have THAT good reflexes.
This one, is a volume feat, and a really good one. Mai throws 12 simultaneous daggers at once, calable of hitting a wide area of at least 6 ft. Something that would be very difficult to dodge, and nearly unblockable. The only reasons why she never does that in battle? Honestly, it's either that she can't just waster her equipment on all-out attacks when facing one opponent (which won't be a problem here since she has unlimited ammo) or it's just PIS. It's still applicable and overall great though:
Targetting and succesfully hitting many targets all at once, that were moving from different angles and speeds, disarming them whithout hurting them once again:
Furthermore, she can her projectiles from shooters-mechanisms that she hides under her sleeves in all 4 of her limbs. Making instant throws so accurately? She can blitz someone here from that distance:
This move also shows how flexible she is as well as how fast she is in battle.
Apart from the crazy marksmanship feats, Mai is also peak human physically for her age.
Agility
One of Mai's traits in battle is that she is highily agile, allowing her to perform great evasion feats:
Here, Mai jumps about 10 ft. up on that roof, and is capable of doing so, fast enough to catch up with Azula, the girl that Aang himself, admitted that he can't beat down.
There are also more agility feats for her like sliding on sides to avoid continious fireballs while also hitting her targets or making some other strogn jumps, that she likes to combine with her marksmanship as evident from her fights with Sokka and Katara respectively:
Gallery
Refllexes
Mai's incredible reflexes also give her the edge against any opponent here. She showed some extremely well battlefield awareness:
Mai easily dodged Azula's instant lightning CQ twice. These feats are great for so many reasons.
First and foermost, the speed of instant lightning in CQ is just incredible and probably better than arrow timing feats:
This is what Mai dodged
Second, Azula's percision:
She doesn't miss the heart, but she does miss Mai twice
Who is the only other person in the verse to have ever dodged instant lightning, esspecially CQ? Amon. The guy who has arguably the best reflexes in the whole Verse. That says a lot.
Strength
Mai is really strong, actually. Judge for yourself:
Gallery
She just grabs grown men and throws them away, cause she can.
And there's more. She KOes guys just by punching them in the face:
Durability
Her and Ty Lee, share the same durability feats. They tanked Appa's tail sweeps twice and while been thrown in a river doesn't tell much for durability, the girls were blown off of the Construction Building in Omashu and survived totally unharmed:
Ty Lee
"The crazy blue firebending and the flying daggers are bad enough, but, last time we faught, one of the girls did something that took my bending away. That's scary..." - Katara (The Chase)
Ty Lee, is a lovely circus freak. She joined the parade to make sure that she wouldn't be part of a matched set, considering that she had 6 identical sisters herself. She has a sweet and bubbly personality but that shouldn't fool you. Much like Mai, Ty Lee can one shoot evryone in your team, making it an easy victory for my team.
Skills & Abilities
Chi Blocking (A.K.A. Pressure Points)
Ty Lee's main weapon of choice is her chi-blocking abilities. This skill, allows her to completely paralyze/immobalize her opponents with a simple touch making her a wicked force to be reckoned with:
There are simple ways like dodging CQ attacks and hitting from behind:
Ntice how extremely fast she moves dodging the kantana and swiftly taking the opponent down with very very quick jabs. But there are also others that are quicker and much more effective:
Of course Katara was caught off guard here. But this just shows how quick Ty Lee''s chi blocking is, KOing Katara instantly by touching her on the shoulder. Ty will not hesitate to use this kind of power in this battle. What's best about it? She can do it on large muscular men without any problem as well:
Gallery
Physicals (Agility, Durability & Reflexes)
Agility
Ty Lee isn't only a force up close, but she is also extraordinary agile and fast, allowing her to outspeed and outmatch swiftly everyone in your team:
Gallery
Did I mention that she can run on ropes above boiling water like a boss?
A better trait though, would be her overall strong jumps:
Yeah, she can and will jump 20 ft. up in the sky
These acrobatics are one of the reasons that she was never tagged or hit in battle, others being her incredible reflexes. Reflexes
Here, Ty Lee is fast enough to react to Toph's surprise attack and land properly
And here, she keeps dodging Azula's fireballs while fighting a hard battle with Suki at the same time:
As for durability no need for section, she has the same ol' good feats with Mai. On the whole, here's an example of Ty Lee's overall battlefield prowess:
Extremely mobile as well as dangerous
Kyoshi Gear
For this battle, Mai and Ty Lee, are both equiped with the overall suit and gear that Kyoshi Warriors wear and use in battle. This, gives them incredible advantages in battle. While they normally wouldn't have a way of defending agaist attacks other than dodging, they now do. Furthermore, they now have swords as well, making Ty Lee able of instantly killing the opponent she paralyzes. There are also the body armors that they wear to have protection against blades so they won't get stabbed:
Armor
Kyoshi Armor
The armor of Kyoshi gives the non-benders amazing protection against attacks coming from blades or punches. While it's not steel, it is most likely made out of the same material as the armor hockey players wear. I found it hard to imagine the girls getting tagged, and now I find it even harder to imagine them getting KOed from head on attacks.
Fan-Shield
Fans-Shields formation
This fans are giving the team even bigger protection. It allows them to defend against more in-coming attacks while at the same time, they do not have to hold the fan itself. It is just bound in their hand:
As you can see, it offers them automatic protection, while the shield can take a lot of output as well, judging by Azula's powerful blasts been blocked by Suki during the whole battle.
Sword-Kantana
Kantana Sword
The kantana sword that the girls now have access to, will allow them to finish the opponents out even more quickly. Ty Lee for example won't just leave the opponent paralyzed on the ground. She will stab him and get outta there. Notice how long this sword is too. While Mai should normally dodge, now she can both dodge and keep the opponent at range where she can take them down.
My Team's Advantages
Teamwork:All 3 members of my team have great experience working together, so they won't have problems keeping up with each other as well as co-operating to turn the battle in their favor.
Agility: All 3 members of my team are highily agile with 2 of them (Azula & Ty Lee) being probably the most agile in this match. Your team will have a really hard time tagging the team.
Experience and versatality:This is extremely important as a factor. My team has faced many people with your team's fighting styles, whereas my team's unorthdox styles are gonna catch yours off-guard. I'm gonna dig more into this one: Your team's fighting styles are majorly based on predictable methods like swordsmanship, axes, daggers, armors and some good agility. However, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee have faced and succesfully countered all of these techniques before in battles with Team Avatar, the Kyoshi Warriors as well as battles at the comics. However, I'm gonna leave this one factor aside until you post complete info on your team, because now I have only basic knowledge on your styles, but once you do, I'll make this a straight point for argument.
However, I'll let you know on the first part of this factor. We have someone who manipulates fire and electricity, someone who can immediately immobalize everyone by touching them as well as someone that can throw daggers knives and arrows from every single limb. Your team probably never faced someone like either of the 3 and the best part about it, is that they have their abilities hidden. It's not like Azula has flames on her or that Ty Lee can be seen as someone that can use pressure points on you. Let alone Mai, that you never know what she is gonna throw or from where this is coming. After all, this is also how just the 3 of them, were so much trouble and looked so OP against everyone they ever faced for the frist time.
Gameplan
Azula will vreate an opening with her fire. Then, Ty Lee will jump on one of these tents to start fighting with one of your team members. This would leave Azula and Ty Lee to fight the other 2. I am confident on any of my team mebers winning a majority against any of yours. Therefore, they can break into 3 1v1 fights or stick to another scenario and let Azula keep the oppoents at bay while Mai stays behind and starts shooting knives on them. It wouldn't take much effort for her to stab one of the 3 in the neck while Azula offers her protection with her fire walls and output. At the same time, it's also great to remember that all 3 of my team members have experience against your weapons and tactics, but we'll get into that part later.
All these advantages are gonna give the victory to my team without much trouble.
Tag I guess cause I am curious how the lol characters will be handled. For me the game is one of the series that should not be used in battles for obvious reasons

Im pretty beastly with Katarina, pub-stomping isn't even the right word for it tbh. It's even worse on Smite if I happen to go Annubis or Arachne, I just start trolling my team by randomly taking their lanes and stealing kills.

Lore
Current Official Lore for Darius
There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation's most feared and battle-hardened warrior. Orphaned at a young age, Darius had to fight to keep himself and his younger brother alive. By the time he joined the military, he had already developed the strength and discipline of a veteran soldier. The first true test of Darius's resolve occurred in a crucial battle against Demacia, where the Noxian forces were exhausted and outnumbered. Darius's captain called for his troops to retreat, but Darius refused to accept such an act of cowardice. Breaking formation, Darius strode towards the captain and decapitated him with one sweep of his gigantic axe. Both terrified and inspired, the soldiers followed Darius into battle and fought with incredible strength and fervor. After a long and grueling battle, they ultimately emerged victorious.
Seizing momentum from this victory, Darius led his now fiercely loyal troops in a devastating campaign against Demacia. After proving his power on the battlefield, Darius turned his gaze homeward. He saw a Noxus riddled with weakness, where greedy, complacent nobles drained the nation's strength. Seeking to restore his country to greatness, Darius took it upon himself to reshape the Noxian leadership. He identified weak figureheads and violently removed them from their positions of power. Many in Noxus saw Darius's cull as an attempt to seize power, but he had a different plan for the throne. He had been watching the rise of Jericho Swain with keen interest. In Swain, Darius saw a leader with the mind and determination to bring Noxus to glory. Now allied with the Master Tactician, Darius works to unite the nation behind his vision of true Noxian strength.
''A united Noxus could control the world - and would deserve to.''

Lore
Old Lore
As a militaristic state, it would perhaps come as no surprise that the primary responsibilities of Noxian women are raising strong children and providing succor for husbands who walk the path of soldiery. There are some, however, for whom nurture is not nature, and Katarina is just such a creature. Born the daughter of the feared Noxian General Du Couteau, the girl was always more interested in her father's knives than in the dresses, jewelry, and other trifles that her sisters spent so much time fussing over. A childhood dispute soon unveiled her uncanny knack for bloodshed, and her father, ever the opportunist, happily fostered her killer instincts. After training under the tutelage of the finest assassins the mighty city-state had to offer, Katarina first cut her teeth performing assassinations in the Ionian War. There, her ruthless mastery of the knife and dagger combined with her sadistic temperament to earn her the title Sinister Blade, a moniker that would follow her for the remainder of her career. She is most famous, however, for her exploits in the campaigns against Demacia, especially those surrounding her engagements with the nation's champion, Garen; a rivalry which began when she recovered the remains of Sion from a vanguard under his protection. With the demand for warfare somewhat arrested by the tenuous peace settling over Valoran, Katarina sought the allure of violence in its last remaining haven: The League of Legends. Some might say it was an inevitability that Katarina's chosen path would draw her to become a champion of the League, continuing to enforce the will of Noxus and bring prestige of war to her noble family. There, she continues to perform her bloody work - esteemed and reviled, feared and adored.
Current Lore
Driven by an intense killer instinct, Katarina uses her talents as an assassin for the glory of Noxus, and the continued elevation of her family. While her fervor drives her to ever-greater feats, it can sometimes lead her astray.
From childhood, Katarina displayed a natural gift for combat. As the daughter of a prominent Noxian general many paths were open to her, but she rejected them all for the path of the blade. Rigorously trained by the finest assassins in Noxus, her father the best among them, it was not long before Katarina demanded her first assignment. The task they gave her was aggravatingly simple: assassinate a low-ranking Demacian officer. As she set to her work infiltrating the enemy camp, Katarina discovered an opportunity too tantalizing to pass by - the arrival of a Demacian General. Stalking him to his tent, she quietly dispatched his guards and slit his throat. Pleased with her impressive kill, she disappeared into the night. Katarina's elation faded the next day when her original objective, the Demacian officer, led his forces to ambush unprepared Noxian soldiers. Though the Noxians fought valiantly, they suffered heavy casualties. Furious at her mistake, Katarina set off to complete her original task. Returning to the camp, she spied her now heavily guarded target and realized a stealthy kill was no longer possible. Drawing her blades, Katarina swore the officer would die, no matter the cost. She leapt into battle, unleashing a whirlwind of steel. One by one blades flashed and guards fell, each strike bringing her one step closer to the officer. A final thrown dagger restored her honor. Bloody and bruised, Katarina barely escaped the Demacian forces, and returned to Noxus a changed woman. The scar she earned that night now serves as a constant reminder that she must never let passion interfere with duty.
''Never question my loyalty. You will never know what I endure for it.''

The Fight
I agree with you in thinking this will go into 3 separate 1v1s. I feel like it will most likely break up into these three match ups
Darius vs Azula
Both of them are leader figures of their group, And Darius being Darius, would go after the opposite team's leader. Azula stand out as the Leader figure when you compare her to Mai and Lee.
Katarina vs Ty Lee
Katarina would also go to the roof top areas to try and observe the fight and get a sneak attack, but after seeing Lee go in that direction as well, Katarina would just go after her
Ekko vs Mai
The Two remaining Fighters, makes sense.
Darius vs Azula
Now, due to the Limited feats the LOL Characters have, I'll only show feats when needed
Why Darius can Tank/Survive Azula's Fire
When it comes to durability feats, Darius has a decent selection, and more importantly, feats that are helpful for facing a Fire Bender of Azula's Caliber.
In the Feat below Darius Tanks Leona's Ultimate "Solar Flare" to the Face
Here is the Description of Leona's Solar Flare attack.
Leona calls down a beam of solar energy, dealing damage to enemies in an area. Enemies in the center of the area are stunned, while enemies on the outside are slowed. Afterward, Leona's sword is charged with the power of the sun and deals bonus magic damage for a few attacks.
This is impressive for multiple reasons.
The First is the Heat from this attack, The Ground underneath Darius was charred black from the heat, yet we see Darius's Face is just fine.
The Second is the Power of the attack, Solar Flare is Leona's most powerful attack yet Shield Bashes from Leona go straight through Fallen Trees like they are nothing. Now I'm not Genius, so I'm not 100% sure on how much force it requires to do that, but the People at Screw Attack/Death Battle did (And oh boy do they love to calculate feats) when Flash was thrown through a Tree.
So Darius has already Tanked a Heat based attack that should logically have over 35 Tons of Force behind it.....to the Face.
However, Azula's Firebending also seems to have Concussive force behind it as well, Good thing Darius has Durability Feats for that too.
Below, Darius is in the range of a Stomp by Nautilus. Granted we don't know how close he was too him, he was in the range of the attack.
So he should be fine with both the Heat put out by Azula's Attacks and the Concussive Force as well.
Why Darius can keep up with Azula
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Darius's Speed feats, however that's not to say he doesn't have the speed to keep up.
Darius is fast enough to jump up high enough to be at the Same high as Trees in a forest in under a second, not only that but maneuver himself to land on his target.
RIP Leona
Darius is also depicted as being able to swing a Basket Ball Pole fast enough to where it appears as a blur.
This was not taken from "Game-Play," this was taken from the Video Dunkmaster Darius
His Best Speed feat is probably when he Hit Leona fast enough that she went flying into Ahri before Ahri could react
In the beginning of the GIF you can see Leona charge though a Fallen Tree like it was nothing.
Now, this is impressive once you take into consideration Ahri's Reaction Feats
Reacts to some throwing Knives flung by Katarina, moves fast enough to save Leona as well.
Dodges a Throwing Axe thrown by Draven.
Unlike his brother Darius, victory in battle was never enough for Draven. He craved recognition, acclaim, and glory. He first sought greatness in the Noxian military, but his flair for the dramatic went severely underappreciated. Thirsting for a method to share ''Draven'' with the world, he turned his attention to the prison system. There he carved out the celebrity he desired by turning the tedious affair of executions into a premiere spectacle.
At Draven's first execution, he shocked onlookers when he ordered the doomed prisoner to run for dear life. Just before the man managed to flee from sight, Draven brought him down with a flawless throw of his axe. Soon, all Draven's executions became a gauntlet through which Noxian prisoners raced for a final chance at life. He used this trial as his own personal stage, and turned executions into a leading form of entertainment. He rallied onlookers into a frenzy, while desperate prisoners scrambled to evade him. They never succeeded. Rejecting the solemn, black uniforms of Noxian executioners Draven donned bright outfits and developed flashy signature moves to distinguish himself. Crowds flocked to see Draven in action, and tales of his performances spread quickly. As his popularity grew, so did his already-inflated ego. He belonged at the center of attention. Before long, the scope of his ambitions outgrew the population of Noxus. He decided that the glorious exploits of Draven should be put on display for the entire world.
'' 'The best' is wherever I decide to set the bar each day.''
-- Draven
This is Draven's Current Lore, the Important Bit is this however
At Draven's first execution, he shocked onlookers when he ordered the doomed prisoner to run for dear life. Just before the man managed to flee from sight, Draven brought him down with a flawless throw of his axe.
His Aim is so accurate, he can hit a Man almost out of sight flawlessly.
So Darius should be more than Durable enough to take Azula's Fire, and Fast enough to close the Gap and put her on the Defensive.
Now, the next important thing is this, Can Darius hurt her?
Yes He Can
Darius is strong enough to easily snap a Basket Ball Goal at the Thickest part (The Bottom) which in it's own right is impressive, however this Basket Ball Goal was durable enough to rise out of Solid Rock with not issue and nigh-no damage.
While this Feat was already shown, it has multiple showing for Darius in it. In this scenario it's that how easily he smacked Leona away. Remember the whole Fallen Tree Breaking is 35 Tons thing? Well Darius treated that amount of force like nothing.
So, honestly with the Feats shown, Darius could 1-shot Azula, unless she has any Durability Feats against Bladed Weapons in the 40+ Ton Range.
Katarina vs Ty Lee
When it comes Avatar, Ty Lee was probably my favorite character due to the uniqueness to her fighting style, however, Katarina has a couple of advantages that give her the win.
Advantage #1: Range
Katarina has a plethora of Throwing Knives to well....throw. And She's pretty accurate with them too.
Note: She threw the Blades with enough force to cause Garen to move back, who has impressive Durability Feats
After jumping a huge distance and spinning like a Top in the Air, She immediately turns to Garen's Direction and threw multiple Throwing Knives to hit his Arms.
Now, the Next Bit is up for interpretation
Katarina is also Accurate enough to Ricochet her Blades.
Now, What makes this not Gameplay Mechanics?
Well it's that tons of other Characters (Katarina included) have shown other abilities that could easily be claimed Gameplay in the Cinematics. Not only that, but the Animators treat it as their abilities DO Exist, however the way to manifest them into Animation is tricky. You can hear about that in this Video. Twist of Fate: Behind the Scenes
Advantage #2: Reach & Skill
Now, once Kat & Ty engage in CQC, the last thing Kat will want is for Ty Lee to land a Competent Hit, however that's going to really hard for Ty Lee because of 2 things
Reach
Not much to talk about here, but in the GIF I posted above, you can clearly see Katarina prefers to use Long Knives in CQC, this is an issue for Ty Lee whose h2h revolves around, well using her hand. In this way Ty Lee was to get Closer to Katarina to hit her that Katarina has to get to Ty Lee.
Skill
Katarina is insanely skilled.
Katarina set off to complete her original task. Returning to the camp, she spied her now heavily guarded target and realized a stealthy kill was no longer possible. Drawing her blades, Katarina swore the officer would die, no matter the cost. She leapt into battle, unleashing a whirlwind of steel. One by one blades flashed and guards fell, each strike bringing her one step closer to the officer. A final thrown dagger restored her honor.
Here she fights through a Fck ton of Guards to get to her Target. There were so many Guards that she was incapable of sneaking up to assassinate her target, even thou she literally snuck into the same place a few days earlier.
Here she get's the best of Rengar, a highly skilled Hunter, even thou he ambushed her.
Rengar is skilled enough to treat people like Draven as Fodder, and completely dominated a Section of the LOL Jungle as a Child, with nothing giving him a fight other than Kha'Zix
Rengar's Lore
On every wall of his den, the trophy hunter Rengar mounts the heads, horns, claws, and fangs of the most lethal creatures in Valoran. Though his collection is extensive, he remains unsatisfied, tirelessly seeking greater game. He takes time with every kill, studying his prey, learning, and preparing himself for the next encounter with the one monster he never managed to defeat.
Rengar never knew his real parents, but was raised by a human who was revered as a legendary hunter. He was an ideal pupil, intently absorbing the lessons of his father, and improving them with his uncanny feral instincts. Before his mane had fully grown, Rengar set off on his own and claimed a wide territory for himself. Along its perimeter, he mounted the skulls of his slain prey - a warning to would-be aggressors. He thought undisputed reign of a region would fulfill him, but instead, he grew restless. No beasts in his domain proved challenging prey, and without formidable adversaries to push his limits, Rengar's spirit waned. He feared that no worthwhile game remained, that he would never again feel the thrill of the hunt. Just when things seemed their bleakest, he encountered the monster. It was a disturbing, alien thing, distinctly out of place in his world. It bore huge scything claws and devoured any animal that strayed across its path. Overzealous at the prospect of a challenge, Rengar ambushed the monster in haste. It far outclassed anything he'd hunted before. Their fight was savage, and each suffered crippling wounds. Rengar lost an eye, but the most grievous blow was to his pride. He had never before failed to make the kill. Worse yet, the severity of his injuries forced him to retreat. Over the following days, he hovered on the threshold between life and death. He was wracked with pain, but beneath it, he felt a glimmer of joy. The hunt was on. If such powerful beings existed in the world, he would find them, and stack their heads high. The monster, however, was a kill he wanted to savor. On his den's largest wall, he reserves a space for the beast's head, a trophy he swears will one day be the centerpiece of his collection.
''Prey on the weak and you will survive, prey on the strong and you will live.''
-- Rengar
Kha'Zix's Lore
A vicious Void predator, Kha'Zix infiltrated Valoran to devour the land's most promising creatures. With each kill he absorbs his prey's strength, evolving to grow more powerful. Kha'Zix hungers most to conquer and consume Rengar, the one beast he considers his equal.
When Kha'Zix crossed over into this world, he was fragile and ravenous. The animals he first encountered were too small to fuel the rapid evolution he craved. Kha'Zix focused his hunger on the most dangerous creatures he could find, risking his life to satisfy his need. With each kill he feasted and changed, becoming a stronger, faster predator. Kha'Zix soon chased his prey with unrestrained aggression, believing he was unstoppable. One day, while savoring a fresh kill, the predator became the prey. From cover a creature pounced in a blur of fangs and steel, tackling him to the ground. It roared in his face slashing and clawing, and Kha'Zix felt his blood spill for the first time. Screeching in fury, he sliced at the brute's eye driving it back. They fought from sunset to sunrise. Finally, near death, they reluctantly separated. As his wounds closed, Kha'Zix burned with anticipation at the idea of devouring one who could match the Void's strength. He resumed his search for powerful prey with renewed vigor. Someday, Kha'Zix will feast on Rengar.
''Kill. Consume. Adapt.''
-- Kha'Zix
So while Katarina is highly skilled, it's hard to tell how Skilled Ty Lee is, mainly due her fighting style revolving around disabling her opponents. Heck, at the very least, Katarina is as skilled as Suki, who was stalemating Ty Lee just fine, however Katarina would have the advantage of Knives.
Advantage #3: Teleportation
Easily the most pivotal thing in a fight between these two, and it has to be Katarina's ability to Teleport
This is easily a Game Changer, as Ty Lee has never fought anyone who could teleport. And as you can clearly see, Katarina knows how to use it fluently with her Fighting Style.
Ekko vs Mai
In my Opinion, one of the most interesting fights we are going to argue. However, I confidently believe Ekko has what it takes to beat Mai.
The first important thing is that can Mai tag Ekko, which I confidently say No, She can't
Ekko is fast enough to dodge Point Blank Gun-Fire, granted it did hit the Z-Drive, it sticks out from the rest of his body.
So Ekko should be too fast for her to Tag, but let's say she does, Well Ekko simply never get's Tagged in the first place? Confused?
Thanks to his Z-drive, Ekko has the unique ability to re-set his Timeline (To an extent) and relive certain events all over again, with a chance to fix any Mistake.
Loading Video...
(While normally I try to GIF Videos when I can, I can't see a reason to do so for this Video, as nigh all of it is feats)
So even if May does Tag him, she won't.
And considering Throwing Weaponry is her main for of Attack, once Ekko get's close, she's getting Bashed/Cut Up.
Counters
This is already a long post, So I'm going to keep this short.
All 3 members of my team are highily agile with 2 of them (Azula & Ty Lee) being probably the most agile in this match. Your team will have a really hard time tagging the team
Everyone on my Team is more than fast enough to keep up
This is extremely important as a factor. My team has faced many people with your team's fighting styles, whereas my team's unorthdox styles are gonna catch yours off-guard. I'm gonna dig more into this one: Your team's fighting styles are majorly based on predictable methods like swordsmanship, axes, daggers, armors and some good agility. However, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee have faced and succesfully countered all of these techniques before in battles with Team Avatar, the Kyoshi Warriors as well as battles at the comics. However, I'm gonna leave this one factor aside until you post complete info on your team, because now I have only basic knowledge on your styles, but once you do, I'll make this a straight point for argument.
Yeah...No. Everyone on my Team is stupidly Skilled it's not even funny. If you want to hammer this point, be my guest, I'll be waiting.
However, I'll let you know on the first part of this factor. We have someone who manipulates fire and electricity, someone who can immediately immobilize everyone by touching them as well as someone that can throw daggers knives and arrows from every single limb. Your team probably never faced someone like either of the 3 and the best part about it, is that they have their abilities hidden. It's not like Azula has flames on her or that Ty Lee can be seen as someone that can use pressure points on you. Let alone Mai, that you never know what she is gonna throw or from where this is coming. After all, this is also how just the 3 of them, were so much trouble and looked so OP against everyone they ever faced for the first time.
Except this isn't true, to some extent. All three of my LOL members logically have experience fighting people can manipulate Fire (Brand, Anne, Etc.) and people who can stun/disable you in a hit (Any CC Champion really) and Mai, while accurate, is just a chick who throws knives. Hmmmm, doesn't that seem familiar.
Needless to say, my team will not underestimate yours.
That's all, there may have been 1 or 2 things I wanted to post and forgot to, but that's everything.
@bullet_to_the_head: Crap... I had a big part of the post ready, and then crap happened and lost it all! Why didn't I just save the part and edit it later!?? Stupid me and that god awful excuse for an internet... I'll post in 2 or 3 days I gues... Man, I'm so stupid...
Now, due to the Limited feats the LOL Characters have, I'll only show feats when needed
Why Darius can Tank/Survive Azula's Fire
When it comes to durability feats, Darius has a decent selection, and more importantly, feats that are helpful for facing a Fire Bender of Azula's Caliber.
In the Feat below Darius Tanks Leona's Ultimate "Solar Flare" to the Face
Here is the Description of Leona's Solar Flare attack.
Leona calls down a beam of solar energy, dealing damage to enemies in an area. Enemies in the center of the area are stunned, while enemies on the outside are slowed. Afterward, Leona's sword is charged with the power of the sun and deals bonus magic damage for a few attacks.
This is impressive for multiple reasons.
The First is the Heat from this attack, The Ground underneath Darius was charred black from the heat, yet we see Darius's Face is just fine.
The Second is the Power of the attack, Solar Flare is Leona's most powerful attack yet Shield Bashes from Leona go straight through Fallen Trees like they are nothing. Now I'm not Genius, so I'm not 100% sure on how much force it requires to do that, but the People at Screw Attack/Death Battle did (And oh boy do they love to calculate feats) when Flash was thrown through a Tree.
So Darius has already Tanked a Heat based attack that should logically have over 35 Tons of Force behind it.....to the Face.
This feat is well established so yeah, he can tank her casual blasts, I'll not counter that.
However, Azula's Firebending also seems to have Concussive force behind it as well, Good thing Darius has Durability Feats for that too.
Below, Darius is in the range of a Stomp by Nautilus. Granted we don't know how close he was too him, he was in the range of the attack.
So he should be fine with both the Heat put out by Azula's Attacks and the Concussive Force as well.
But that's definetely not the same thing. The gif shows Nautilus stomping the ground to make a huge shockwave that can send others flying. But that's clearly very different than Azula's blasts:
This blast created a fiery explosion that Darius has no answer to other than dodging, and he isn't really great at dodging. You see, there are 3 types of damage output Azula can throw at him:
Regular Firepower (He can tank that)
Concussive Fiery Force (He has no feats for that)
Slicing Damage (He has no answer for that either)
You also seem to be forgetting about her lightning. She can and will charge lightning here. First, she will use her jet propulsion to get herself up on the roofs:
You can see the height of the roofs up there:
Once Azula gets up there, Darius will have to give it his all to either climb or jump his way to get close to her. However, it will be pointless. Darius is not fast enough to dodge her lightning even if it isn't as fast as normal bolts:
If Darius actually manages to somehow get up there on time, it will be a battle of CQC, that Azula can easily win. We'll discuss about this one later on. But here's a hint:
Azula hides at least one shuriken that she can use to hurt Darius...
Just note that if Azula hits him with her charged lightning, he is most certainly dead.
Why Darius can keep up with Azula
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Darius's Speed feats, however that's not to say he doesn't have the speed to keep up.
Darius is fast enough to jump up high enough to be at the Same high as Trees in a forest in under a second, not only that but maneuver himself to land on his target.
Darius is also depicted as being able to swing a Basket Ball Pole fast enough to where it appears as a blur.
This was not taken from "Game-Play," this was taken from the Video Dunkmaster Darius
His Best Speed feat is probably when he Hit Leona fast enough that she went flying into Ahri before Ahri could react
Now, this is impressive once you take into consideration Ahri's Reaction Feats
Reacts to some throwing Knives flung by Katarina, moves fast enough to save Leona as well.
Dodges a Throwing Axe thrown by Draven.
This is Draven's Current Lore, the Important Bit is this however
At Draven's first execution, he shocked onlookers when he ordered the doomed prisoner to run for dear life. Just before the man managed to flee from sight, Draven brought him down with a flawless throw of his axe.
His Aim is so accurate, he can hit a Man almost out of sight flawlessly.
Admittedly impressive. But is it good enough? Azula was able to pressure Aang to the point that he couldn't keep up with her. He even said: "I can't beat her down. She's too quick". Here's the episode: http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Avatar-The-Last-Airbender-Season-03/Episode-51-The-Day-of-Black-Sun-Part-2-The-Eclipse?id=753
Skip to 12:48 for the quote
Skip to 11:27 for the overall fight
Now, this is a very notable feat given Aang's combat speed, significally above that of Darius:
Gallery
He is fast enough to succesfully evade a series of spammed lightningbolts (each of them covering several yards) and even being able to grab one to redirect it.
The other one shows Aang's fight with Combustion Man, a guy that throws explosion from his forehead. You can see how fast Aang reacts and moves to block it.
The third one is a favourite of mine, Aang basically moves FTE and keeps evading Zuko's CQ fire blasts.
But still, nothing beats that one:
Loading Video...
Pfft. This is true reaction timing... Joking aside though, the whole point here, is that if Azula with the help of just 2 Dai Li agents can make Aang unable to keep up, she will be a living hell for Darius to tag and will force him unable to keep up as well.
Now, the next important thing is this, Can Darius hurt her?
Yes He Can
Darius is strong enough to easily snap a Basket Ball Goal at the Thickest part (The Bottom) which in it's own right is impressive, however this Basket Ball Goal was durable enough to rise out of Solid Rock with not issue and nigh-no damage.
But in fiction, stuff pop out of the ground all the time. It's not any crazy durability feat.
And Azula can easily tank hits from a barehanded Darius and keep fighting:
While this Feat was already shown, it has multiple showing for Darius in it. In this scenario it's that how easily he smacked Leona away. Remember the whole Fallen Tree Breaking is 35 Tons thing? Well Darius treated that amount of force like nothing.
But it's very different. You see, Leona charges and goes full power to attack with Shield Bash, but she was barely able to react to Darius' sneak attack here, leaving her unable to tank it.
As for this one here:
You need a lot more force to send a human through a tree, than you need with a shield made of steel. It's a really impressive showing but Leona isn't exactly a 35 tonner, anyway.
So, honestly with the Feats shown, Darius could 1-shot Azula, unless she has any Durability Feats against Bladed Weapons in the 40+ Ton Range.
I beg to differ. In fact, you'd actually be surprised on how many different options she has to counter his axe.
As evident by the gif above, Darius' axe is not always at Full Power. Azula has various answers here:
1. Fire Sphere
You'd actully think that firebenders cannot do that, but Azula can actually make her fire solid and stonewall stuff. Observe:
You may notice:
Sokka's FREAKING Boomerang. She deflects it and sends it flying back. Now, as of the power of this good ol' boomerang:
It can cut clean through stuff. But it still can't slice through Azula's shield. Furthermore, it can one shot people:
Before you say that this was fodder, take a look at this:
The guy straight up blocks that with his hat, the same one that Sokka one shot. But it's still not enough to break through Azula's shield. Now, even if the boomerang isn't exactly the best comparsion to Darius' axe, it's still a fair assumption that she can block his non-full power blows with that shield.
2. Armor
Azula's Royal Armor is another good counter for Darius' axe:
Here, the guy litteraly laughs and makes fun of Sokka's Water Tribe Club hit. Azula's Armor seems twice as hard as this guy's:
Gallery
Which would also make sense given her class and position as the Fire Nation Princess compared to the Rough Rhinos.
However, Darius' axe, seems to leave some fatal damage even behind barriers when he goes Full Power:
For that, Azula has 2 possible answers....
3. Disarming
Azula can use lightningbending to zap opponents' hands and swiftly disarm them:
Darius won't be an exception, and once he is armless, he is a fair game for her. She might as well stab his eyeballs out with her shuriken CQ:
Or just punch him in the face:
Which would result in insta-win, really.
4. Dodging
I left the most obvious one for the end. Azula has too many and too good blade evasion feats to assume that Darius can actually tag her:
Sokka's Sword
He swings his sword at high speeds at her face, and she quickly dodges.
Mai's Daggers
Gallery
Remember how insanely percise Mai is? Well, Azula laughed at these shots.
Suki's Sword
She straigth up jumps over a point blank Kantana and disarms.
Suki's Fans
Zuko's Twin Fire Daggers
Katara's Ice Spikes
Worth noting that all these opponents, have very notable feats and training with their blades:
Gallery
Alright, Zuko doesn't at that point, but anyway...
In conclusion here, I do not see how Darius will be able to tag her, esspecially before she disarms him. Honestly, in every scenario, Azula has this:
Azula goes Jet Propulsion on a roof and shoots lightning to insta-win
The battle goes to CQ and Azula prevails by disarming and blitzing
The battle stays mid-range and Azula spams explosions
Whichever way you look at it, she wins here.
Katarina vs Ty Lee
When it comes Avatar, Ty Lee was probably my favorite character due to the uniqueness to her fighting style, however, Katarina has a couple of advantages that give her the win.
That's funny. From what I know, Kantarina is my favourite character from LoL due to her swift fighting style as well :P
Advantage #1: Range
Katarina has a plethora of Throwing Knives to well....throw. And She's pretty accurate with them too.
Note: She threw the Blades with enough force to cause Garen to move back, who has impressive Durability Feats
After jumping a huge distance and spinning like a Top in the Air, She immediately turns to Garen's Direction and threw multiple Throwing Knives to hit his Arms.
This isn't too much troule or Ty Lee though. She consistently fights alongside Mai, so it's not like she is not familiar with this style and won't adapt with it.
But let alone that fact and she is still good. She does have feats of dodging Katara's continious water blades:
And there's always her Kyoshi Gear that still offers her protection over knives with the fan-shields:
Now, the Next Bit is up for interpretation
Katarina is also Accurate enough to Ricochet her Blades.
Impressive, but still not anything incredible. All 3 members of my team, have automatic protection against such a move:
Ty Lee who is fighting her can might as well just just dodge it
Mai has Kyoshi Gear
Azula has body armor
Advantage #2: Reach & Skill
Now, once Kat & Ty engage in CQC, the last thing Kat will want is for Ty Lee to land a Competent Hit, however that's going to really hard for Ty Lee because of 2 things
Reach
Not much to talk about here, but in the GIF I posted above, you can clearly see Katarina prefers to use Long Knives in CQC, this is an issue for Ty Lee whose h2h revolves around, well using her hand. In this way Ty Lee was to get Closer to Katarina to hit her that Katarina has to get to Ty Lee.
There are some things that need to be stated here:
1. Ty Lee's experience
Ty Lee does have experience against swords and ranged weapons in general:
Granted that a Kyoshi Warrior is not as skilled with a kantana as Kantarina, it's still a feat good enough to give her experiecne on that style. Much like other CQ ranged attacks like Katara's water whip:
2. Kyoshi Gear
It just helps in everything, seriously. You can see why here:
It's bound on her hand. Like an automatic protection.
Chi Blocking + Fan Shield = Victory
Ty Lee won't have to worry about Kantarina slicing her hands, simply because this shield offers her protection on the length of the whole hand. She can touch Kantarina without too much trouble wearing this, and a touch is all she needs.
Skill
Katarina is insanely skilled.
Katarina set off to complete her original task. Returning to the camp, she spied her now heavily guarded target and realized a stealthy kill was no longer possible. Drawing her blades, Katarina swore the officer would die, no matter the cost. She leapt into battle, unleashing a whirlwind of steel. One by one blades flashed and guards fell, each strike bringing her one step closer to the officer. A final thrown dagger restored her honor.
Here she fights through a Fck ton of Guards to get to her Target. There were so many Guards that she was incapable of sneaking up to assassinate her target, even thou she literally snuck into the same place a few days earlier.
Here she get's the best of Rengar, a highly skilled Hunter, even thou he ambushed her.
Rengar is skilled enough to treat people like Draven as Fodder, and completely dominated a Section of the LOL Jungle as a Child, with nothing giving him a fight other than Kha'Zix
Rengar's Lore
Kha'Zix's Lore
So while Katarina is highly skilled, it's hard to tell how Skilled Ty Lee is, mainly due her fighting style revolving around disabling her opponents.
Woah, there, hold your horses :P Kantarina is extremely skilled, sure, but we can also tell how skilled Ty Lee is herself. She is in fact very skilled based on raw logic. After the hudred year war ended, Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi Warriors.
She's been training with them ever since:
And we do know how hard the Kyoshi Warriors are training:
Loading Video...
So, yeah, Ty Lee should be as skilled as any well trained Kyoshi Warrior that should be the very least copmarable to Kantarina.
Heck, at the very least, Katarina is as skilled as Suki, who was stalemating Ty Lee just fine, however Katarina would have the advantage of Knives.
I love that you brought this fight up, actually. While the knives don't offer such a big advantage, Suki has an enormous advantage Kantarina doesn't:
Knowledge
Suki had faught the girls before, and knew about Ty Lee's chi blocking, which is why she was trying to keep her at a distance and not let her get a touch:
But how will Kantarina know about her chi blocking? Simple. She won't. Which is why she''ll fall for the trap, just like everyone does against chi blockers when they do not have knowledge on them. In fact, this advantage is even better than teleportation as I see it. We'll discuss this now.
Advantage #3: Teleportation
Easily the most pivotal thing in a fight between these two, and it has to be Katarina's ability to Teleport
This is easily a Game Changer, as Ty Lee has never fought anyone who could teleport. And as you can clearly see, Katarina knows how to use it fluently with her Fighting Style.
Yeah, it's a clear advantage Kantarina has over Ty Lee, but is it really a bigger deal than lack of knowledge on chi bocking?
Ty Lee has reacted to sneak attacks before:
And while it's certanily an advantage, it's not like Ty Lee will think of it like some kind of magic or anything, since techniques similar to that of teleportation, are very usual in her verse:
Loading Video...
Loading Video...
Bumi does it
Jeong Jeong does it
Azula does it
Azula does it once more
So, even if it's an advantage, it's not that much of a winning factor here. At least not as good as Ty Lee's obvious advantage.
In conclusion I see Ty Lee winning for 3 very simple advanages:
Agility (While Kantarina is fast and agile, she is still ouutclassed in these stats)
Unorthodox Fighting Style (Kantarina doesn't have knowledge on chi blocking, which gives Ty Lee an outright instant advantage over her)
Gear (Ty Lee's gear offer her protection from pretty much everything Kantarina will be throwing at her, whereas Kantarina gets one shot with a simple touch)
Ekko vs Mai
In my Opinion, one of the most interesting fights we are going to argue. However, I confidently believe Ekko has what it takes to beat Mai.
The first important thing is that can Mai tag Ekko, which I confidently say No, She can't
Ekko is fast enough to dodge Point Blank Gun-Fire, granted it did hit the Z-Drive, it sticks out from the rest of his body.
That's not enough to assume that Mai cannot tag him. First of all, he didn't dodge it fast enough for his Z-Drive to not get tagged, so he'll have far more trouble with a marksman of Mai's volume:
Mai can throw at least 12 daggers in one shot if she wants to, which would result in Ekko being eventually unable to dodge all of them.
Secondly, Mai is too versatile with her projectiles to not tag him with some tricks:
She hit the wall to catch Aang from a different angle, and this move would work like a charm in an enclosed location like this:
So, all Mai actually needs is a combo of 12 daggers, a spinning wall hit, an instant shot from her shooter, and it's a fair game for her.
So Ekko should be too fast for her to Tag, but let's say she does, Well Ekko simply never get's Tagged in the first place? Confused?
Thanks to his Z-drive, Ekko has the unique ability to re-set his Timeline (To an extent) and relive certain events all over again, with a chance to fix any Mistake.
Loading Video...
(While normally I try to GIF Videos when I can, I can't see a reason to do so for this Video, as nigh all of it is feats)
So even if May does Tag him, she won't.
Now, let's assume that Mai will fall for that 1 time. Heck even 2. She isn't stupid, she will realise his little time game, and will see how he does it. She will see the Z-Drive and she will strike for it like she has done with other weapons before:
And considering Throwing Weaponry is her main for of Attack, once Ekko get's close, she's getting Bashed/Cut Up.
Yeah, good luck with that. Mai is no slouch up close. Given that she fights at her best here, she does like to use her daggers in CQC:
And she is also strong enough to kick steel bars away efortlessly.
And she is good in h2h as well:
She grabs the man and effortlessly throws him away resulting in a KO.
And who says that she cannot dodge punches or swords:
She does move faster than this firebender can make a punch, that's for sure. Which is comparable to FTE reaction and limited movement. And note that she is also good enough to do so, while blitzing a couple of other people behind this firebenders, WITHOUT killing them.
As for Ekko's sword, it's not like Mai is helpless. She has disarmed small armies of people effortlessly before:
And she did that with morals. The ones that do not let her stab people. Note that it would be even easier for her to do so, when Ekko is just 1 person unlike all these people. And at the end, he is not fast enough to keep dodging someone that can throw daggers to percicely hit weapons and disarm people without even scratching their hand. So yeah, the sword isn't too much trouble for her either. Let alone the fan shields that still offer her great protection.
As for a final point, I doubt Ekko will close the distance at all:
While running, Mai can use her shooters to throw arrows.
I see this fight ending in Mai's favor:
Mai is too good for him at a distance
Mai is great in CQ too
His only chance is the Z-Drive and this won't save him after Mai realises what his is doing
