 PSA: You can dash while using Fire Slam in Fortnite to destroy opponents from afar

The Fortnite x Avatar collab has given us some incredible new elemental weapons to destroy our opponents with. One player has taken Firebending to new bounds by combining it with the Underworld Dash.

Dash while using Fire Slam to reach distant opponents in Fortnite

Reddit user Jabroni5092 shared a clip where they managed to use Underworld Dash whilst using Fire Slam to crash down upon foes on a distant summit.

Although the player didn’t manage to defeat them (how awesome would that have been), they did deal an incredible 80 damage and upended them before safely retreating. This kind of feat combines numerous items to reach the unreachable and punish them.

Using the Shockwave Grenade and Air Bending, the player managed to arc through the air at great height and speed. Upon initiating Fire Slam through Fire Bending, the player then used the Underworld Dash charges to reach their opponents. If only the momentum of such a feat would have boosted the damage.

These sorts of combinations will lead to clever and maybe even hilarious ways to achieve something, be it damaging an enemy, fleeing, or crossing great gaps. The more creative you are, the less likely your opponents are to predict your moves and counter you.

This clip does make me wonder about what other items can be used in conjunction with Underworld Dash. It’s such an incredible ability that should be capitalized upon as often as possible. With Firebending, if you have a height advantage, you can use it to close a shoot-out with a fiery end.

I do remember one I used Underworld Dash to practically fly across some players and littered them with some bombs of my own like a bomber plane. I didn’t kill anyone but it was fun for sure.

I implore you to find other combinations like this whilst I try (and likely fail) to recreate this moment in my own matches. With these kinds of skills and combinations, I’m sure you’ll be breezing through the Avatar Elements pass.

How to unlock the Appa glider by opening Chakras in Fortnite

The Avatar: Elements event has finally begun in Fortnite, and the Appa Glider is available to all players — but only those able to master the elements.

How to unlock the Appa Glider in Fortnite

The Appa Glider has got to be the coolest item in this whole Avatar event, so getting it will require some dedication. On the Elements Quests page, you’ll see at the top of all the quests are the “Element Bonus Goals” quests.

The top quest requires you to open six Chakras to gain the Appa Glider for free. This is quite a tall task and is only open for 3 weeks. Don’t think that you can breeze through the quests immediately, however, as the Chakras will only be available at certain times.

Once you’ve opened all the Chakras, you’ll be able to gain the Appa Glider and fly around with the adorably fluffy companion.

So what are these six Chakras that you’ll need to open to gain the Appa Glider for free, then?

You will get to open one Chakra for each element if you complete four quests in that element’s quest set. The event started with only the Water Chakra quest set active, and as the event goes on, more element Chakra quest sets will be revealed.

You can track this progress through the other quest that’s part of the Elemental Bonus Goals quests.

Here are all the Chakra quest sets and when they’ll go live:

The Water Chakra Quests are live now.

The Earth Chakra Quests go live on April 15 at 9 AM ET.

The Fire Chakra Quests go live on April 18 at 9 AM ET.

The Air Chakra Quests go live on April 22 at 9 AM ET.

The Light Chakra and Sound Chakra Quests go live April 25 at 9 AM ET.

You should only ever need to complete four of the quests of each set to open that Chakra. So if I were you, I’d get to working on the Water Chakra quests now to keep ahead of the game.

If you keep up with everything, the earliest you’ll be able to gain the Appa Glider is on the 25th of April, when the final two Chakra quests get released.
