Destructoid has published a launch-day tier list for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, ranking the more than ten playable characters by strength and ease of use in the current meta. The guide, written by staff writer Arka Sarkar, splits fighters into S-tier (overpowered and effortless), A-tier (solid alternatives) and B-tier (harder to master, with clear weaknesses), aiming to help new players pick a viable character at release.

Azula tops the S-tier for her strong traps, high damage output and corner-pinning combos, alongside Korra, Toph and Aang, though Aang is described as better suited to experienced players. A-tier picks include Katara, Zaheer, Fire Lord Ozai and Nightmare Korra, offering solid but less dominant options, while B-tier characters such as Kyoshi have powerful special moves offset by slow speed that becomes a liability at higher skill levels.
