Avatar Legends: How to Level Up Characters and Farm XP for More HP & Energy Slots
In Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, leveling up characters is the simplest way to make the campaign feel less punishing early on. It raises your Health and unlocks extra Energy Point Slots, which matters because those slots feed EX Special Techniques and Super Techniques.
The catch is that XP is tied to Story Mode. You do not earn leveling XP from Online or Arcade Mode, so if you want to push a character past a rough stretch, you need to replay earlier Story chapters and win fights with that character equipped.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is a digital 2D fighter built around familiar faces like Aang, Korra, Katara, and more. Its progression system is intentionally simple: win Story fights, gain XP, then use that XP to make your active character tougher and more flexible in battle.
The game is available digitally on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. If you are starting fresh, the best path is straightforward: play Story Mode, keep winning, and avoid assuming side modes will help you level up.
How to Level Up Characters in Avatar Legends
To level up characters in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, earn XP by winning fights in Story Mode. XP only comes from Story Mode, and leveling up is exclusive to that mode, so Online and Arcade Mode do not count.
This matters because the early campaign can leave you with low Health and locked Energy Point Slots. A few Story wins give your active character more staying power, while the extra Energy slots make special moves easier to spend when the fight turns tight.
Leveling is also character-specific. If you switch to another fighter, that fighter needs to earn its own XP instead of borrowing the upgrades from someone else.
Can you level up characters in Online or Arcade Mode? No. XP only comes from winning fights in Story Mode, including replayed earlier Story chapters.
How to Farm XP in Avatar Legends
If you hit a difficult point in the campaign, farm XP by replaying earlier Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Story chapters. Those older chapters still award XP toward the currently active character, which makes them useful when you only need one or two levels before moving on.
- Choose the character you want to upgrade. XP is tied to the active fighter, so make sure the character you want to strengthen is the one you are using.
- Replay an earlier Story chapter. Pick a chapter you have already cleared or one that feels manageable for your current skill level.
- Win fights in Story Mode. XP comes from victories, not from simply entering matches or replaying stages.
- Stop once the level-up matters. The goal is usually to unlock another Energy Point Slot or gain enough Health to survive a later chapter.
This is not the kind of farming system where you can ignore the fight and stack XP in seconds. It still asks you to win, but it gives you a legal escape hatch when the campaign starts demanding better spacing, timing, or resource management.
What You Get for Leveling Up
Leveling up gives you two main benefits: more Health and more Energy Point Slots. Those are both practical upgrades, but they affect fights in different ways.
More Health means you can absorb more damage before getting knocked out. That is especially useful in Story Mode, where the game ramps up pressure as you progress and mistakes become less forgiving.
More Energy Point Slots are arguably the bigger long-term upgrade. Each level unlocks one additional Energy Point Slot for that character, up to a maximum of five extra slots.
That does not change a character’s roster or move list. Instead, it gives you more room to spend Energy on the tools the game already expects you to use, which is why it matters more once fights become fast and chaotic.
How Energy Points Work in Combat
Energy Points are the resource pool used for EX Special Techniques and Super Techniques. Those moves can swing momentum, punish mistakes, or close out a round, but you need Energy to use them.
You earn Energy Points during fights by taking the right actions. The key ones are listed below.
