Southern Water Tribe · Non-bender · Warrior & Strategist
Sokka is the Water Tribe warrior and strategist, one of the few non-benders on the roster. He is expected to be a trap and tool character, fighting with his boomerang, jian sword and clever gadgets rather than raw bending power.

Sokka Playstyle
Win with tools and timing. Sokka should use boomerang angles, trap timing and grounded pokes to make the opponent move where he wants.
As a Tool character / traps and boomerang control fighter, Sokka is best judged by how reliably their core plan gets started, how safely they spend resources, and whether their support-character choice covers bad matchups. Use Training Mode to test frame data, hitboxes and save-state routes before taking the character online.

- Needs matchup knowledge
Basic Combo Plan
Start with one safe poke, one simple midscreen confirm, one corner route and one anti-air punish. Do not chase long routes first; consistent small damage plus good positioning wins more early matches. Once you are comfortable, spend Energy Points only after a confirmed hit, then test which support call extends the route without making it unsafe.
Exact inputs, damage numbers and frame data should be checked inside Training Mode because they can change with patches.
