Who wins?
@superprimetime: Wut
1-when did Keyleth EVER resist fire, much less get stronger from it.
2-Korra simply burns the trees. or uses waterbending to control them.
3-Korra took multiple hits from benders as strong as her.
4-Keyleth never used a bow
5-Korra has bending
Korra outskills in base
1-Fair point
2-Korra is a fully realized avatar. Just KNOWING swamp style is enough to control plants. Katara not only tought Korra for years. Katara learned and MASTERED the techique in a DAY. Even if she can't control them. She can still burn them or drain them of water.
3-Keyleth Never took hits from a Dragon. Korra took hits from dark spirits and WORLD CLASS benders, with bending COMPARABLE to her OWN. Not only did Briarwood One Shot her. Briarwood's feats arn't that much greater than than the benders and spirits Korra fought. Korra has greater movement speed with bending so Keyleth would never get close anyway.
4-we will see..
5-Well you said magic as if that was an argument so...
Unless this fire form is stronger then the Chroma Conclave. Avatar State murders
@superprimetime: Korra could potentially block those attacks with an Avatar State enhanced air shield. She has blocked the spirit cannon which also vaporized rock.
2- Korra used healing in book 4 after losing a fight. Healing was also learned nearly intsantly by Katara. Blood bending was made illegal BY Katara so. swamp bending was the bending of the water within the plants, not mud.
When waterbender takes water out of a plant, it kills and rots the plant intsantly. Simply being magic isn't a feat.
3-Fair point. Korra would never let Keyleth near her with the amount of movement Korra has through.
5-true Keyleth can do more. but Korra has other stuff such as Higher Skill, Movement and Battle IQ
some of these weren't with the avatar state. they also bend lava and fire so.
@superprimetime: wouldn't vaporizing stone be similar to vaporizing lava creatures. Lava is just molten rock so turning a rock into vapor should be very similar to turning a liquid rock into Vapor.
2- these Magic plants are still living plants. Unless there are feats of these plants NOT having water. Korra would drain them of water and kill them.
4- Korra lost the KNOWLEDGE of the past avatars. The power came from Raava. In base all avatars ARE different but they would still be comparable due to all of them being fully realized avatars AKA mastering all the elements. In Aang's vision he sees avatars doing Back to Back avatar level feats. Also Korra didn't use spirit bending on the cannon, she used airbending. Spirit bending doesn't work that way. Also Vaatu without any past lives beat Korra so…
some of these weren't with the avatar state. they also bend lava and fire so.
All of these were in the avatar state. And Korra can't bend lava due to lack of the skills of past lives.
Keyleth does everything Korra does and more
That's quite a stretch. Keyleth is mid training and only mastered air and fire properly. Plus the vines and shapeshifting that aren't specific to an element. She barely uses earth and never used water (ice in the show is related to air, as in freezing wind, which is weird but whatever). While Korra is one of the best waterbenders in the setting, and is very solid in every other element. Plus she is a bender, and can actually manipulate the elements in ways that the druids are incapable of. Plus Korra is a great martial artist when it comes to h2h.
Keyleth would be immune to firebending and fire hitting her would make her stronger
It won't make her stronger. She doesn't absorb fire in order to turn into a fire elemental, she can do it at will. Plus, while she can ignore the heat, she can't ignore shockwaves from explosions or kinetic force behind Korra's fireblasts.
Can control plants in way Korra cant counter
She can. In a number of ways. Especially in the avatar state.
Can change into animals that can oneshot korra like a Tiger one paw swipe to the neck
If she manages to land a hit. Korra dodged spirits - and bigger ones than the animals Keyleth can turn into so far. And she reacted to explosions and electricity travelling through water. I don't remember Keyleth having particularly great attack speed feats in animal forms.
Can use her bow and arrow effectively
She doesn't have any bows or arrows, never used any, and isn't proficient with them. You might be confusing her with Vex. Not to mention that speed of arrows is a joke to someone like Korra.
Got me wondering how strong keyleth will be once she finishes her trials
Quite absurdly. At least when it comes to comparing her to benders of avatar settings. By the endgame she can summon tidal waves out of thin air, create fire storms, ice storms, earthquakes, control weather, throw lightnings, and literally tank lightnings. Plus abilities like regeneration, turning into a wide variety of monsters (including dragons and creatures that can block magic) and the ability to still cast spells while she is turned into whatever creature she wants, feeblemind (can reduce your intellect to that of a primitive animal operating on basic instincts), summon elementals (she turns into a fire elemental in the show) and so on.
In the latest episode it’s revealed Fire Ashari aren’t hurt by fire at all, they can literally walk threw flames unharmed
While the statement is true, Keyleth is an Air Ashari. And Korra can do that too to a degree. Not ignore literally burning alive, but she can yolo charge through fire and get out of it unharmed.
once she arrives in that realm she is hit by the flames before absorbing it turning into a fire form that vaporised the monsters near her
She disperses those monsters due to the fact that those monsters are made of fire, and she can control fire.
She can’t control plants via water bending
Neither can Katara as far as i remember.
she doesn’t even the same mastery of water as Katara
This is incorrect. Korra is one of the best waterbending masters in the setting, and certainly one of the most powerful. She can draw water out of air and out of plants.
doesn’t even have the feats to drain the plants of their water
She did that in the comics, and in the show. While the plants were off screen in the scene from the show, there was no other water source in the locations she could've pulled it from.
That doesn’t matter Keyleth can cut her to pieces in close combat if she turns into a tiger
And Korra can yeet Keyleth in the animal form far far away with air or earth, or trap her paws with earth, or just burn or flash-freeze her, and Keyleth doesn't really have a counter to that.
she’s taken hits from characters that make benders look weak, Sylas Briarwood hits harder then any conventional bender
First of all, she padded her impact with the wall with vines. Secondly, it still took her out of the fight for quite some time.
or how about taking hits from a dragon
Being hit with something heavy and slammed into a wall is nothing special to benders. Ming Hua literally survived that and was fighting a minute later. Benders are pretty tough. And Korra's durability is absurd for an average bender.
She going to be in future episodes once she gets her vestige smh
Her vestige is a staff, not bow and arrow.
Keyleth can control the four basic element, plants and use other obscure magic for things like teleportation
Keyleth can't control all four elements well enough, only air and fire, and things like teleportation take time and are useless in a fight.
Also if Keyleth goes into her fire form not even avatar state has a sliver of a chance of winning korra would get vaped with no resistance
It didn't vaporize Vax and Percy that were very up close to her when she turned into fire elemental in Saundor's tree. And even the tree enemies she fought only caught fire once she went through them via teleportation through plants. She's not as hot as you're making her seem. Plus, fire elementals are also made of fire. And according to simple logic should be affected by firebending. So if she turns into it, Korra can simply "put her out", turning her into nothing. And finally, fire elementals take damage from water. And Korra can bend enough water to destroy an army of fire elementals, in base.
She mastered basic water bending, there was never any evidence she knew any of its sub-categories taught by Katara
She mastered waterbending period, and frequently used master level waterbending techniques, better than most other benders we've seen (like water spout). And she knows healing and spirit-bending, which are sub-skills of waterbending.
it’s highly unlikely they would get burned when they are comparable if not superior to metal
Considering that Korra in the avatar state can tear metal chains apart with relative ease, and can be slammed through thick metal panels and not even be affected by that combat-wise, recovering in seconds, she's gonna be fine.
lava can be 1000°C+
That's not even as hot as regular orange fire fodder firebenders can produce.
she would melt korra being near her, or just lifting her hand in her general direction, fire attacks that would be travelling to korra would kill her before impact because of the way it would heat her surroundings
Again, that's not how it works. And it actually never did outside of the elemental plane of fire even if the idea that she evaporated them was true.
Keyleth can't control all four elements well enough, only air and fire
Keyleth can actually control Earth to quite a respectable degree. Able to easily create massive pillars to trap Umbrasyl while badly wounded (7:56) and to attempt to close the fire portal(3:26). Keyleths air magic was also enough to completely part a lake (1:24). Which outdoes basically any non-avatar feat Korra has for air or water
Able to easily create massive pillars to trap Umbrasyl while badly wounded (7:56)
Fair. The green glowing confused me, didn't realize it was just earth. But i'd say she's still not on par with Korra in the element. Yet at least. If the show stays faithful to the campaign, i don't see any bender competing with her by the end of the story, at least without the avatar state. And that's not even taking into consideration how many things she's capable of beyond elemental magic.
and to attempt to close the fire portal(3:26)
It's ice. She's using air, and ice in the show is related to air for some reason, not water. That's why when Keyleth says that she's not good with water, and Zahra tells her to use air to part the lake, Keyleth cracks the surface with one effortless move. That's why she created a massive iceberg in Whitestone that covered an entire street by just blowing air out of her palms. And that's why here she uses air in attempt to close the portal and it gets covered in ice.
Keyleths air magic was also enough to completely part a lake (1:24). Which outdoes basically any non-avatar feat Korra has for air or water
Debatable, considering Korra's flash-freeze of the colossus feat. And parting a lake is not a combat applicable feat, considering its slow build-up. However Keyleth is indeed amazing with air, and something like this would be extremely helpful against a waterbender of Korra's caliber.
Keep in mind that she only failed to block this because it was consistent pressure over some time, which is not how waterbenders attack in vast majority of cases. If it just was a large scale waterblast, Keyleth would've been able to block it without that much trouble.
