Questions players ask first
How many playable characters are in the launch roster?
There are 12 launch roster slots. Avatar State Aang and Avatar State Korra are separate playable slots and are represented here as variants of their base characters.
How do I unlock Nightmare Korra and Avatar State Aang?
Two corroborated tracks: Story Mode through Chapter 6 (“A Cold Welcome”), or the main-menu shortcut Arcade → Training → Local Versus → Arcade while pressing Select/Share/View (Backspace on PC) on each highlight. Details live on /guides/unlock-characters/. Nightmare Korra is media language for the Avatar State Korra slot.
What is the full launch roster?
Twelve playable launch slots, including Avatar State Aang and Avatar State Korra as separate unlockable variants. Browse /characters/ for the full launch roster; use /guides/unlock-characters/ if those variants are missing in-game.
How do I unlock Zaheer?
You don’t. Zaheer is one of the 12 launch-roster slots—he is not a Story/menu unlock like Avatar State Aang or Nightmare Korra (Avatar State Korra). Secondary “unlock Zaheer” articles are mixing him up with those two variants. Open /characters/zaheer/ for the Training path, and /competitive/ceo-2026/ for the named offline sample (Zaheer won CEO 2026).
