Earth is a slow and enduring element. Its motion is motivated by persistence but has a confined scope. The Earth can cause considerable harm when wielded accurately. It fuses decisiveness and strength at a close proximity, but this diminishes at medium and distant ranges. While Earth can be deadly, launching the most efficient assaults necessitates substantial accuracy and planning.
Earth is distinguished by its high-impact assaults which intend to defeat and overthrow adversaries. It's a slower element demanding patience to utilize and isn't a fit for individuals looking for a simple yet strong set of skills.
