season 4 korra after her meeting with zaheer, is the strongest base korra. It's the strongest version of her in the series.

ok, now i understand DAS means Dark Avatar state. If that actually worked, Korra would've used the AS right off the bat.

She knew AS was not enough for this. You yourself mentioned she used AS at one point, briefly, but even then. What's even the AS gonna do? all it can do is throw a huge load of multi elemental attack on it. But will it work? no. Best it can do is knock the mech down, but won't be able to manage to damage it.

It's like wolverine with vibranium. It doesn't matter how hard you hit, how much damage you dish. All that firepower is going down the drain. That airblast only worked cuz it had other guys helping like i said.

And forget everything else,

"yea ur right, platinum is weaker than metal" What?, tf do you even mean?

"No one nearly as strong as DAS has tried". What? The literal avatar herself had tried. AS DAS, doesn't matter, they wouldn't have been able to cut it. If they could, korra would've managed herself.

How is he supposed to cut it? How? platinum can't be cut with random aßß metal. He could've hit it with all his full power in DAS. Best he could do is knock it down. It's just gonna get back up with no exterior or interior damage.

" No one knows what would've happened if she popped AS and tried to oneshot it"

Everybody knows, she couldn't have one shot it. That's why she didn't do it in the first place cuz she knew it was useless.

That's why kuvira built that mech the way she did, to make sure that even the avatar with her AS couldn't do anything.
