Name of technique: Earth Smash
Rank: Beginner
Element: Earth
Description: Earthbenders can easily destroy rocks and boulders with punches and kicks, even if they have a very small amount of muscle mass, possibly by making the earth in the rocks weaker. This technique is useful when facing other Earthbenders, as it allows the Earthbender to destroy earthen projectiles opponent send at them and break out of imprisoning techniques. However, it does not seem to affect objects not made of earth. The user must at least be one rank higher than their opponent although there is a one post cool down after it's usage.
Range: N/A

Name of technique: Earth Wave
Rank: Skilled
Element: Earth
Description: High level Earthbenders can create a wave of earth to ride on and use it as a form of transportation. The downsides of the wave are that it takes a lot of energy to produce, as well as intense concentration; the slightest distraction could cause the user to lose control of the wave. They can also force a wave of earth outwards and use it as an extremely powerful offensive attack.
Range:Mid (4 Meters for attack) N/A when not battling.

Name of technique: Earth Armor
Rank: Master
Element: Earth
Description: Earthbenders can bring rocks, dusts, pebbles, or crystals around them and mold them to fit their body and create something similar to armor. They can also hide inside the earth by bending the rock around them as a shell. This Earthbending move is great for defense, especially against fire. It's not as effective for offensive moves, since it limits the practitioner's range of motion. May only be used for three posts.
Range: Close (0 Meters)
