To restore balance, Avatar Aang, having become a fully realized Avatar and regained his ability to enter the Avatar State, used energybending to strip Phoenix King Ozai of his firebending. The entire armada was destroyed, except for one airship commandeered by members of Team Avatar, though the areas surrounding the battle suffered significant damage. The Avatar's victory in this battle effectively decided the outcome of the Hundred Year War, with the defeat of the Fire Nation.
