Take in account that the Alvarez Empire also spent the last year training, probably with coordination and for large scale battles. Avatar was just a bunch o random losers charging forward. They are a military contry ready to invade a country you don't do that by just throwing numbers at your enemy. If I'm right then while FT has Quality, Alvarez ha Quality+Quantity.

Also what CNBA said. We have no information on what kind of magic the use. They might as well use technlogy along with magic or have something equivalent to Etherion.

Hiro has the chance to make the biggest arc on the series, hope he don't just screw up with more one-shots.
