How to get Airbending Avatar Mythics in Fortnite x Avatar Elements

Unlocking the air wheel and air jump bending abilities requires getting your hands on an Airbending scroll. You can find these scrolls as floor loot and inside chests as you explore the Fortnite map or by visiting elemental shrines.

Shrines will spawn around the Fortnite map every round, allowing you to loot them and claim some scrolls. You’ll know you’re approaching one when you see an element’s symbol on the map. Below is an example of an air shrine spawning at Mount Olympus.

However, these shrines are also incredibly competitive. More often than not, several players storm them in hopes of getting their hands on a scroll. In such situations, you’ll have to be prepared for combat or try your luck with floor loot instead. Just be careful out in the wild, as many people are also searching for wild cabbage carts to destroy.

Despite being relatively rare, you can often spot various scrolls as you play your matches, especially if someone recently eliminated a player and didn’t pick up their scroll. However, there’s a chance it’ll be another scroll type, such as an Earthbending or Firebending scroll, so check the symbol on the page before picking it up.

You’ll know you’ve spotted an Airbending scroll when you see an air symbol on the page. These appear as three swirls on the front, differentiating them from the Firebending scroll’s flame or the Waterbending scroll’s waves.

Once you get your hands on an Airbending scroll, hold it in your hotbar to interact with it and use its abilities. If you have the scroll equipped, activating the air wheel allows you to move around the map much faster. Air jumping works similarly, making traversing cliffs or avoiding enemy attacks easier by propelling you into the air before landing nearby.

Unlike other elements, Airbending in Fortnite primarily helps you navigate the map easier rather than making you more powerful in combat. Nonetheless, you can use these to outmaneuver others or run away if a squad attacks you.

These quests range in complexity and time, with some taking multiple matches to finish and others being easily attainable during your first game.
