Canon Airbending Abilities

Name of technique: Air Manipulation
Rank: Beginner - Skilled
Element: Air
Description: By using circular, evasive movements, Airbenders build up massive momentum; this buildup of energy is released as gusts of winds. It also allows for wind-based counter-attacks that knock opponents off-balance, mimicking the sudden directional shifts of air currents. Even a simple movement can create a small air gust and Airbenders increase the power of their moves by performing larger sweeps and spins, using the momentum of their movement to simulate larger gusts. This is also demonstrated with their use of staves or fans to increase or create precision within the air currents. Beginners are only capable of small gusts of wind.
Range: Close (0-3 meters) Mid (5 Meters) When Skilled.

Name of technique: Air Shield
Rank: Beginner
Element: Air
Description: The most common defensive tactic involves circling enemies, suddenly changing direction when attacked and evading by physical movement rather than bending. However, an Airbender can still deflect as needed by throwing up gusts of air close to their bodies as a shield. This is rarely to stop attacks directly and more often pushes the attack aside and away, conserving energy and allowing them to turn the movement into an attack at the same moment.
Range: Close (0-3 meters)

Name of technique: Air Bullets
Rank: Beginner
Element: Air
Description: Spinning air in the hands for one post then they shoot them at their opponent. It just pushed them and can leave bruises but can also give time for another attack.
Range: Mid (6 Meters)

Name of technique: Air Punch/Kick
Rank: Beginner
Element: Air
Description: Another more offensive move than is typical of Airbending discipline, air punches or air kicks are small, compressed formations of air that can be fired off the fists or feet of an Airbender. This is similar to many Firebending abilities and the air blast, yet in the sense that it involves the firing of compressed or solidified air at an enemy in a non-continuous fashion i.e. the bender does not create a single great stream of air.
Range: Close (0-3 meters)

Name of technique: Air Blast
Rank: Skilled
Element: Air
Description: A more offensive move involving a direct pulse or jet of almost solid wind from the hands or feet. The force of the attack is generated more from the bender's own power rather than assisted by momentum. This direct blast can reach further with greater accuracy and is used to inflict greater damage.
Range: Mid (6 meters)

Name of technique: Air Swipe
Rank: Skilled
Element: Air
Description: The air swipe is a dual defensive and offensive technique in which an Airbender conjures a crescent-shaped construct of solidified air capable of deflecting colossal projectiles (such as the catapulted flaming rocks often used by the Fire Navy ships) and sending them off-course.
Range: Close (0-3 meters)

Name of technique: Breath of Wind
Rank: Skilled
Element: Air
Description: Very similar to the standard air jet but created from the mouth and lungs. It requires extremely good breath control to employ effectively. Size and focus is more easily controlled, from narrow jets that can strike targets as small as insects, to large gale force gusts capable of cooling magma into solidified rock.
Range: Close (0-3 meters) To Mid (0-5 meters)

Name of technique: Air Ball

Name of technique: Multiple Target Attack

Name of technique: Enhanced Speed
Rank: Master
Element: Air
Description: Airbenders enhance their movement in battle; they can run swiftly by decreasing air resistance around them and even sprint across or run up vertical surfaces by generating a wind current behind themselves to propel them forward. Can run many times faster than an average human and maintain this for very long periods, allowing them to travel long distances without gliding or jumping. When used by a skilled Airbender, this technique can enable the Airbender using it to travel at a speed almost too swift for the naked eye to be able to see properly. A master Airbender can use this technique to briefly run across water. May only go in a straight line unless they make extra wide turns. Must have total concentration and it takes a lot of stamina.
Range: N/A

Name of technique: Air Spout
Rank: Master
Element: Air
Description: Similar to the Waterspout, master Airbenders are able to rotate and control the direction of the Air Spout enough to levitate them off the ground and remain in the air for as long as they wish to or can maintain it.

Name of technique: Air Blades
Rank: Master
Element: Air
Description: A more offensive move than is typical of Airbending principle, this involves a focus slicing air current that can cut through stone or timber. This is frequently conjured with a staff rather than the body, using the narrow profile of the object to create a more focused and precise air movement. This move could prove fatal if used on an individual. Is normally forbidden to use in battle by the peace loving Nomads.
Range: Mid (5 Meters)
