[/color][/b] Streaming is a move that draws water from a source that waterbenders move around their bodies. This move is thought to be used for basic training so that beginning waterbenders can get a "feel" for water, but it is in all actuality a very useful move performed by waterbenders of every skill level.

Water Whip: The most frequently seen move involves creating a lashing tendril of water to swipe at an opponent. The shape, size, and length are all determined by a waterbender's control. More powerful benders can create larger whips, or ones of greater finesse. Due to water being nigh-incompressible, at the master level a whip can be sharpened into a blade that can even slice through metal with relative ease.

Water Knife: The ability to shape water into a super-sharp edge or point for a split-second. Due to water's highly incompressible nature, it enables a waterbender to cut through metal, wood and stone.

Water Cloak: A waterbender can use their water as a form of armor with tentacle-like arms. The bender can use these arms to grab objects, whip enemies, blast enemies with water and freeze them. If a waterbender has less water available, he or she can simply form the arms instead of the entire cloak.

Freezing: This allows a waterbender to freeze their water, thereby turning it into ice. It also allows a waterbender to turn ice back into water.

Advanced-Level Techniques

Water Bullet: The water bullet is a move where a waterbender bends a large amount of water and sends it in a forceful blow towards their target. It is similar to a water jet, but it's more for a quick use since the jet takes more concentration.

Water Shield: Water can be molded into a variety of shapes and can be used to deflect an attack, trap opponents in a viscous body, reshaped and propelled at attackers before they can recover, or solidified into a shield of ice. This diversity and ability to swiftly change to suit the situation is what makes the waterbender's defense so adaptable. Although usually protective, the shield needs some type of compression or else it won't be effective.

Evaporating: This allows a waterbender to evaporate water, thereby turning it into gas. This also allows a waterbender to mold moisture in the air back into water.

Ice Spikes: This allows a waterbender to shoot small shards of ice at their opponent, or cause a giant spike to protrude from a body of water.

Ice Claws: Ice claws is a move where the bender draws water around their fingers and freezes it. They can also be sent forward, shooting them at an opponent

Ice Shield: A waterbender can freeze an amount of water in front of them, creating a shield of ice.

Ice Breath: A waterbender can use their breath to rapidly freeze objects, such as metallic chains, or an opponent. For a more advanced version of the technique, the user takes a deep breath and exhales the air as a cloud of freezing mist.

Master-Level Techniques

[/color][/b] By moving a large mass of water without separating it from its original source, a master waterbender can create waves of nearly any size. They do this by using an upward movement that raises the source, which they then send away in their desired direction. This can be used to sweep opponents away or even as a form of transport, with the bender surfing on the crest of the wave.

Water Vortex: This move allows the user to move a large mass of water and spin it vertically around him/herself as a defense.

Bubble: When in need to cross large bodies of water, capable waterbenders are able to create a bubble around themselves, keeping an air supply for them and for others

Multiple Water Whips: An advanced waterbending move similar to the Single water Whip except it deals with more than one whip, usually four or five. This technique seems to be able to inflict a large amount of damage.

Water Spout: This high-level technique involves controlling a whirlpool-like pillar of water as a weapon, rotating it and directing its movements at the same time. Another form exists, which is nicknamed the "water snake", in accordance to the waterspout's constantly shifting and coiling movements. It forms a giant snake of water around the lower body, elevating them from the ground.

Octopus Form: A body of water formed around the user into eight or so whip-like limbs which can be used to grasp or strike an opponent or to intercept and seize incoming attacks.
