1516 Boss attack patterns use visual color cues to telegraph incoming moves. Earth is recommended for countering certain boss attack patterns, with stone walls providing protection during telegraphed beam attacks from Celestial Wardens. Timing earth defenses against color-coded boss attacks is a skill that becomes increasingly important in later chapters.

1921 Earth abilities are strongest in caves, tunnels, and areas with abundant rock and soil. Underground environments in Zhou provide ideal conditions for Earth-focused combat. Conversely, elevated platforms and areas with minimal ground contact weaken Earth's effectiveness.

2123 Combat Role
2224  
2325 Earth is the primary defensive element, providing protection that no other element can match. Stone walls create cover in open areas. Rock projectiles offer the longest-range physical attacks available to Cheng. In boss encounters, Earth's defensive capabilities provide the survivability needed to endure the Celestials' devastating beam attacks.
