@tektonic:
Oh yeah you're the guy I think from reddit as well who said the same thing a few days ago I forgot. Are you also that same guy who responded to me and Mial a few months ago randomly about Pakku?
Stay with me let me explain why I think Pakku is the strongest water bender before katara reaches her prime
He is the strongest in his era before Katara takes over.
Nickelodeon Avatar: The Last Airbender - North and South #2 - Read Nickelodeon Avatar: The Last Airbender - North and South Issue #2 Page 20 (comiconlinefree.net)
He already states that's she's probably better than him. And let's not question what "finest"(high quality, excellent, first class) means here, because Pakku uses the same wording to describe himself as a waterbending master on a global stage, so it clearly means in general.
He trained all his life before he could stand and he's 90 so thats like 86 years he studied and practiced
Makes no difference since talent and superior understanding can trump experience(Katara). That's like saying a random waterbending soldier who fought his whole life must also be one of the best despite their being no qualitative evidence.
and he comes from a powerful long line of water bending masters being a master in his teenage years
Unalaq comes from the royal bloodline, and created spirit bending as a teenage waterbending master, so he was already far above Pakku.
Train his north pole water benders and lead them in war
Which means nothing since none of the other north pole waterbenders did anything impressive.
Pakku adapts and turns her attacks into her weakness and uses it against her he turns her offense to defense slowly transitioning from water to slow and back again and waits and listens approaching battle strategically not just show boating how much he can throw around
This is waterbending 101. Any attack too powerful or complex than a untrained Katara's would end him.
Rides atop a waterspout that he creates that help him evade attacks l,expanding it out for a radial attack and throwing ice bullets at fire benders while on it
Full moon. If we can use enhanced feats than Unalaq's waterspout and post fusion feats eviscerate him.
Evades katara attack 🏄♂️ surfing and sliding around the battlefield with agility
Nothing impressive about the attack or his surfing. Desna and Eska moved faster when striking down a plan. Tonraq tried and failed miserably to blitz Unalaq with a slide.
Encircles Katara and himself in water during their deal limiting combat zone
That Katara easily slapped away, Unalaq, Korra, Kya are all capable of water rings.
Converts large shield 🛡 of ice 🧊 then converts into 💧 water 💧 attack
So basic shifting, that Katara also easily disperses, since it had no power.
Turns falling 🥶 🧊 ☃️ columns of ice into a harmless snow ❄ powder
Again just basic shifting(water/ice/snow)
Rains 🌧 down sphere of ice that pins Katara limbs together,trapping her in place
Good precision, but Unalaq did the exact same attack outside the spirit portal, but with enough power to shatter rock.
Sinks 8 men into ice before dodging a fire blast
Encases several specimen into ice 🧊 simultaneously
Full moon.
Turns a large encasing of ice to water to free a student
Again just phase shifting, Unalaq easily dispelled all the ice constructs from his and Tonraq's battle.
Bends a large wave of water 💧 over Bai Sing Se wall for he and his allies to slide along then reforms it into a shield 🛡 to defend them
That was one shot by a single fire blasts. Unalaq casually raises building sized spirals of water at multiple points in the Northern water tribe, and he scales above waterbenders who can throw icebergs(Desna and Eska).
