Earth is the element of substance. Earthbenders share many of the same fundamental techniques as Waterbenders, but their domain is quite different and more readily accessible. Earthbenders dominate the ground and subterranean, having abilities to pull columns of rock straight up from the earth or drill their way through the mountain.
They can also launch themselves through the air using pillars of rock, and will not hurt themselves assuming they land on something they can bend. The more skilled Earthbenders can even bend metal, sand, and lava.
MetalClips
Toss metal bars at your opponent and if you aim right, you'll be able to capture them in shackles! They're then at your mercy, even if you send them flying.
RaiseEarth
RaiseEarth is a basic yet useful utility move. It has the potential to allow the earthbender to create great escape routes by raising earth underneath them to propell themselves upwards. It also offers synergy with other moves, such as shockwave. RaiseEarth is often used to block incoming abilities.
Shockwave
Shockwave is one of the most powerful earthbending abilities. It allows the earthbender to deal mass damage to everyone around them and knock them back. It's extremely useful when fighting more than one target or if you're surrounded by mobs.
Tremorsense
This is a pure utility ability for earthbenders. If you are in an area of low-light and are standing on top of an earthbendable block, this ability will automatically turn that block into glowstone, visible only by you.
SandSpout
This ability allows you to manipulate the sand beneath your feet into a dense pillar that can lift you into the air. Keep an eye on the ground below you though because without sand to draw upon, your spout will fail.
Catapult
Catapult is a utility ability that allows earthbenders to launch themselves into the air using earth. A pillar of earth will shoot up beneath you, launching you high into the air. This is useful for reaching high places or escaping danger.
Collapse
Collapse is a destructive earthbending ability that allows you to cause the ground to cave in. To use, sneak while looking at the ground. The earth will begin to collapse inward, creating a large crater and potentially trapping enemies.
EarthArmor
EarthArmor is a defensive ability that allows earthbenders to cover themselves in protective earth. To use, sneak while looking at an earth block. The earth will form into armor around you, providing protection from damage and increasing your strength.
EarthBlast
EarthBlast is the most fundamental earthbending ability. It allows you to launch projectiles of earth at your enemies. The projectile will deal damage to any players it hits.
EarthGrab
EarthGrab is a utility ability that allows earthbenders to grab enemies with earth. Earth will rise up around them, temporarily trapping them in place.
EarthTunnel
EarthTunnel is a utility ability that allows earthbenders to create tunnels through earth. The earth will be removed, creating a tunnel that you can walk through.
Extraction
Extraction is a utility ability that allows earthbenders to extract ores and materials from stone. The stone will be broken down, potentially revealing valuable ores within.
LavaFlow
LavaFlow is an advanced earthbending ability that allows you to create streams of lava. The lava will begin to flow in the direction you are looking, creating a dangerous stream that can damage enemies.
EarthKick
This move enables an earthbender to create a large earthen cover, ideal for defense.
EarthLine
Send rumbling through the ground and cause a line of vibrating earth towards your opponent.
EarthShard
EarthShard is a variation of EarthBlast which the earthbender may use to hit a target. This ability deals a fair amount of damage and is easy to rapid-fire the levitating blocks.
Fissure
Fissure is an advanced Lavabending ability enabling a lavabender to tear up the ground, swallowing up any enemies. To use, simply swing at an enemy and a line of lava will crack open. Then, tap Sneak to expand the crevice. The crevice has a maximum width and depth.
LavaDisc
Hold sneak on a lava source block to generate a disc of lava at your finger tips. Releasing Sneak will shoot the disc off in the direction you are looking! If you tap or hold Sneak again, the disc will attempt to return to you!
LavaFlux
This offensive ability enables a Lavabender to create a wave of lava, swiftly progressing forward and hurting/burning anything in its way. To use, simply swing your arm towards a target and the ability will activate.
LavaThrow
Throwing lava is a fundamental technique for the rare subskill. Use sneak while looking at a pool of lava inf ront of you, then punch to splash the lava at your target. It can be used in rapid succession to create multiple streams of lava!
MetalFragments
MetalFragments allows you to select a source and shoot multiple fragments of metal out of that source block towards your target, injuring them on impact.
MetalShred
MetalShred allows you to tear a metal surface allowing you to sneak in to the other side. To use, you must find a flat metal surface. Then, sneak at a piece of metal on that surface, and two pieces of metal will be pulled toward you.
MudSurge
This ability lets an earthbender send a surge of mud in any direction, knocking back enemies and dealing moderate damage. This ability has a chance of blinding the target.
SandBlast
This ability lets an earthbender blast a bunch of sand at an enemy, damaging them and temporarily blinding them!
Dig
Swim through the earth, digging a path with your earthbending. Inspired by toph's learning from the badgermoles! You must also be looking at an earthbendable block for the ability to work!
Accretion
Slam the earth to send blocks into the air, then shoot them all towards a single point! They will build up on an enemy, damaging and slowing them down! Each block that hits adds 1 second and level of slowness.
MagmaSlap
A simple ability in a lavabender's arsenal, this allows them to create a small wave style attack of lava that throws enemies up into the air, leaving magma in it's trail.
LavaGeyser
Summon lava from beneath the ground and focus it into a geyser! (Caution, may burn your toes)
EarthMole
Move like a mole underground as Bumi did, evading your enemies.
SandShard
This move allows a sandbender to propel grains of sand at a high speed, damaging their opponents.
EarthSculpture
Skillfully mold blocks in the world into more detailed versions, stairs, etc.
EarthDome
EarthDome allows earthbenders to surround themselves or another entity in earth, temporarily preventing anything from entering or escaping the dome.
EarthPillars
Send players and entities flying into the air and possibly stunning them by raising pillars of earth under their feet, dealing damage initially as well. This combo can also be used by falling from high off the ground and landing while on the Catapult ability.
