The game plan
EarthEarth King · Growing Earth engine
Earth King, Commando Gerz, Regent of the Abysses and Protector of Ruins build Earth bonuses around repeatable attacks. This version uses the King's current three-turn Blade-T recharge.

Each card’s role
Commando Gerz
Adds Earth and Light with Cigarillos, supports damage and healing through innate Berserk, then supplies a later random-target finisher.
Regent of the Abysses
Quakecry attacks with Earth and Shadow and increases both bonuses. Ancient Healing restores its own HP each turn; Engulfment can absorb an allied card.
Protector of Ruins
Provides the frequent Earth attack: Roly-Poly increases its base damage with each use. This creates useful activity between the King's attacks.
How to play it
- 01
Opening turns
Use Roly-Poly whenever available to develop its growing base damage. Use Cigarillos and Quakecry to establish Earth bonuses. Keep Regent of the Abysses alive so its innate Ancient Healing can continue restoring its own HP.
- 02
Build an advantage
Use Earthly Choice before an available Earth attack when the situation allows. Its three ranges are choices with variable results: choose the narrower 8–12 range when consistency matters, rather than treating 20 as guaranteed. Blade-T now has a three-turn recharge and deals 30–50 base Earth damage in version 1.23.
- 03
Close out the duel
Continue the repeatable Earth attacks while waiting for Final Delight. Engulfment absorbs an ally: it is not a free damage button. Preserve a useful living card unless the absorption's consequences are clearly worthwhile. Concentrate targeted attacks on a finishable threat rather than waiting for all long recharges together.
Suggested talents
One choice per cardCommando Gerz
Heart of Steel
Each time this card is attacked, its elemental resistances increase by (+1%).
Regent of the Abysses
Resilience
While this card's HP is below 50%, its elemental resistances increase by (+25%).
Tox Shop priorities
Adapt to the match- 1
Berserk
The source favors Berserk purchases. The common version increases all allied damage and healing by 12%; choose a durable carrier with a suitable free slot.
30 Spamtons - 2
Earthheart
Editorial alternative: a cheap continuing Earth bonus benefits the King, Protector and Regent. Prefer it when the fight is likely to last long enough for repeated triggers.
15 Spamtons - 3
Heart Resistance
Editorial response to sustained pressure: increase the team's resistances rather than buying another offensive passive while an essential engine card is about to fall.

Talent choices
Editorial choices: Focus on Earth King can generate Taunt, but only with a 25% chance each turn; it is not guaranteed protection. Heart of Steel helps Gerz withstand repeated hits. Resilience protects the Regent below half HP. Adapt the Protector's resistance talent to the opposing elements instead of always protecting against Fire and Water.
Editorial adaptations
Against burst damage, protect the card actually being focused; a future Taunt proc cannot be counted on. Delay a luxury purchase if replacing a useful attack would make you unable to answer the current threat.
If the King falls, keep Quakecry, Cigarillos and Roly-Poly active. The remaining Earth engine still works, but loses Earthly Choice and Punching Bag.
Weaknesses and mistakes
Several important abilities have long recharges, and the core has no innate all-enemy attack. A wide healing board can demand concentrated targeting or a suitable AoE purchase.
Absorbing a healthy engine card can remove its recurring bonuses, income and useful actions. Do not use Engulfment simply because its recharge is finished.
What changes from the catalogue
The existing Earth engine uses Serpentine Heraldess, Earth Spirit, Master Thronebéur and Rob the Adventurer. This composition replaces all four and relies on Punching Bag, growing Roly-Poly damage and Gerz's Berserk.
