Earth Slash is the first of the fundamental techniques of the Avan-style sword school, capable of splitting hard objects in a single strike.

After mastering Earth Slash, Wave Slash and Sky Slash, they can be combined into the school's ultimate technique Avan Strash.

The Luminary must have the Sword of Light or one of its upgrades equipped to perform the technique.
