How to Choose Support Characters

Pick the right support ally for each fighter to unlock mobility, combo routes, and playstyle variations in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game.

Support characters add strategic depth to Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game's character select screen. Each fighter has three support allies who modify gameplay without changing the core control scheme. Choosing the right support for your playstyle and matchup can dramatically alter your options. This guide explains support selection through the official Support 101 tutorial.

What Supports Do

Supports provide passive bonuses and modify specific moves. Aang with Appa gains enhanced aerial mobility, while Aang with Momo receives faster Flow Stance startup. Supports may alter Flow techniques, Chakra generation, or unlock unique combo routes. Read the full support characters guide for mechanical details.

Support Selection Strategy

Choose supports based on matchup and personal playstyle. Against zoners, pick mobility supports for approach tools. Against rushdown, pick defensive supports with enhanced Flow or Chi regeneration. For combo-heavy playstyles, pick supports that extend routes. The support tier list offers pre-launch speculative rankings.

Using the Support Picker Tool

Our Support Picker tool lets you preview all fighter-support combinations before launch. Filter by character, compare support abilities, and plan loadouts for the July beta. Bookmark combinations that fit your intended main.

Example Pairings

  • Aang: Appa for aerial mobility, Gyatso for defensive Flow, Momo for speed.
  • Korra: Naga for rushdown, Raava for enhanced supers, Tonraq for durability.
  • Azula: Li and Lo for pressure, Ursa for recovery, Joo Dee for unpredictability.

Experiment During Beta

The July 2–5 beta is the ideal time to test all support combinations. Play each support for at least five matches before committing to a main loadout. Support meta will evolve post-launch—stay flexible and revisit pairings after balance patches.
