like the majority Avatar: The Last Airbender Taking place across the Earth Kingdom, fans got the chance to witness some of the most skilled earthbenders in action, each displaying techniques that would leave them in awe. Despite such immense power at their fingertips, earthbenders have the greatest limitations on when they can use their bending, as they can only do so in areas where there is a stone.
Airbenders and firebenders can create wind and fireballs out of thin air, and even waterbenders can use their own sweat as weapons, but it’s hard to believe that earthbenders have to. Use the rocks around them to do some really amazing moves. starts with.
Updated by De’Angelo Epps on June 21, 2020: Since Avatar: The Last Airbender was re-released on Netflix, the series has gained popularity again. Fans old and new alike gather around their nearest Netflix box to revel in this epic tale. This means more people are introduced to more forms of flexibility. That’s why we had to update this list to include more amazing EarthBending technologies.

broken earth
Most Earthbenders can use the Earth Smash technique, which is why this technique is used throughout. Avatar series.
This means that the Host can destroy the stone with simple punches and kicks. This applies to almost all landowners regardless of their muscle mass, making it very useful in land battles.
earth model
This is a technique that only benders who master the knowledge of sculpting can perform. That’s because the technique involves creating human body parts or whole bodies from nearby rock sources and moving them as if they were alive.
This can be seen when Toph threw Aang away with a large hand, and when she created the Fire Lord’s bodyguards for training.
A popular defense skill favored by homeowners is to wrap their bodies in a thick layer of earth (or metal) to create fairly durable armor. During his battle with Azula in Ba Sing Se’s crystal tomb, Aang wrapped himself in a bright green crystal to protect him from Azula’s flames.
The main disadvantage of this technique is that the armor slows down the Earthbringers and reduces their agility. It has proven to be great for camouflage purposes, allowing Earthbinders to blend into stone walls, giving them the opening they need to turn the tide of battle in an instant.
earth wave
Although Wind and Earth are two natural opposites, they have quite a lot in common. Like Airbending’s Air Scooter, Earth Wave is a technology implemented by powerful earthbenders such as Aang, Toph, and Roku that allows them to glide across the Earth, traveling great distances in a short amount of time.
While very useful, this technique requires a significant amount of attention, energy, and space to perform successfully. Toph uses a variation of this technique in The legend of korrashow fans her strength against the senior generation.
Originally, earthbenders were limited to the naturally occurring curved forms of the Earth. When Toph finds herself trapped in a metal prison, she begins to sense tiny particles of earth within, giving birth to a different style of Metalbending bending. With this trick, she can kick open metal doors and bend metal structures like paper!
start at The legend of korra, metal bending became more common, and police officers in Republic City wore all-metal gear that allowed them to glide through the sky using metal cables. Entire cities like Zaofu are also built entirely of metal, meaning they can be powered entirely by this technology.
Tove may not have known it at the time, but her behavior in the past Avatar The extent of the world change was beyond her imagination.
Earthquake
Earthquake Perception describes how highly skilled Earth Administrators are able to sense even the tiniest vibrations of the earth (or metal) on which they stand, and use these vibrations to build a mental image of their surroundings.
Toph isn’t the only Land Warden to use this technique; Aang learned that from her and from her daughters Lin and Suyin. Ironically, this technique makes it difficult to take advantage of Earthbender’s blind spots, but as demonstrated in “Dark Days, Part 2: Eclipses”, earthquake sensing can be used to help Earthbender finds its way through the maze and avoids teleporting. intrusion attacks, and even judge whether someone is lying.
earth shelter
The mighty Earthlings have built Shelters on Earth for various purposes; When the Avatar Squad stormed Ba Sing Se’s palace, Aang and Toph created a shelter around Appa after launching two giant statues at them. So come to protect the flying bison and others. During the trip, Team Avatar used Earthbending to build a comfortable, sturdy stone tent in seconds.
We’ve also seen this ability used to grab opponents. Aang used this technique during his battle with Ozai, causing the Fire Lord to kneel and prepare to undo his bend, while Toph created an Earth Shelter around Azula shortly after meeting him. Azula in Ozai’s secret bunker.
grounding post
Earthbenders easily lift earthen pillars into the air to transform the entire landscape. Aang did just that while building a new zoo for animals in Ba Sing Se. During Ozai’s mission to shoot down the spaceship, Toph was able to throw herself, Sokka, and Suki onto the roof of the spaceship using a pillar she stepped on from the ground.
In combat, this trick is unavoidable, not to mention fatal. Fans should remember that a talented fighter like Jeter was killed after Longfeng used this trick to deal a fatal blow to the freestyler.
sunken earth
A skilled Earth Warlock possesses the ability to alter the structure of the ground beneath an opponent’s feet to trap them in dirt. The most memorable instance occurred when General Fong dragged Katara to the ground in an attempt to force Aang into his embodied state.
Not only did he do it, but despite Katara’s ordeal, she didn’t have a single scratch on her body.
stone bullet
Although we never really saw modern guns in Avatar or The legend of korrathe closest thing we see to a turret or gun in the series is in Aang’s battle with Ozai, where the young Avatar compresses a rock into tiny particles, which he shoots so fast they can as destructible as their canyon battlefield.
No matter how strong you are, you cannot recover even if hit by one of these bullets.
magnetize
One of the most masterful earth bending techniques is magnetization. This technique is intended for skilled Earth Guardians, allowing them to magnetize their limbs to take advantage of metals in rocks and other minerals and adhere to them.
This allows them to climb walls and cling to any surface they want. It also occurs during metal bending.
the earth soars
Most geomantic moves involve the geoman lifting the rocks before hitting or kicking the target. Despite not having muscles, even smaller earthbenders like Toph can lift huge rocks. They can use these rocks as a solid shield, and they can still send back their weapons immediately after the rocks are impacted by the Firebender’s kick.
Powerful Landlords like Toph, Bumi, and Kyoshi can even lift statues, proving that this technique is useful not only in combat, but architecture (or interior decoration) as well! Aang even managed to move the giant pillars to protect him from Ozai while blocking the Fire Lord’s exit during their battle.
bent lava
It makes perfect sense for earthbenders to be able to manipulate lava, because after all, lava only heats the Earth. A powerful Landlord like the Red Lotus’ Ghazan can instantly turn normal rock into scorching lava, while Bolin can naturally manipulate lava like normal rock.
The dangers of this technique were demonstrated directly by Ghazan, who enjoyed using a lava dart that could cut through almost anything. Due to how hot the lava is, anyone on the other side of the lava bender’s attack is sure to get severe burns when they get out, if they try to walk away.
earthquake
The host has the ability to strike a simple blow with fists, feet or even hammers, creating earthquakes and cracks in the ground. This is a common technique to throw an opponent off balance.
It has also been seen ripping cities out of the surrounding ground and cutting through rock formations to create avalanches. This is another very advanced Earthbending technique.
