Tier 1
- Geokinesis: This is the level that all apprentice earth benders are at, where they can bend rocks the shape of small pebbles up to fist sized stones. Being at a professional level, Daiyu has been able to master this basic level of bending and can easily levitate and pitch stones of such sizes.
- Earth stopper: A technique Daiyu uses to stop rocks and stones with punches and kicks, even if she has a very small amount of muscle mass. Wit this ability she can stop opposing earthen attacks up to the size of one's torso (one level above introductory). The desired result is not to damage a rock, but to disperse the momentum of the rock by bending the element to a stop, resulting in a net zero movement of it. It allows Daiyu to stop any earthen projectiles sent at her to prevent harm.
- Rock Chain: Moving her arms from the back to the front in a whipping motion, Daiyu will uproot one earth-made chain that will come forth and attempt to wrap the opponent up and nail them in place. They are not very powerful and might be able to restrain a child or one unused to regular exercise, and can extend effectively up to 20 feet. Daiyu also may use them for strangling and whipping opponents.
- Ground Pound: By pounding the ground with either foot or fist, Daiyu can effectively unleash a burst of geokinetic energy to create a seismic wave which dislodges the earth underground. It will cause the soil underneath one's feet to quake, knocking people off of their balance and creating disorientation from the vibrations sent throughout the body. The technique covers everything within a 20 foot distance. It is a 360 degree area of effect.
- Earthen Armor: Trained by the Dai Li, Daiyu was able to master this technique by the time she became an undercover agent. With it, she can cover her hands in small rocks to enhance the power of her blows.
Tier 2
- Geokinesis 2: Upgrade from Geokinesis. Daiyu can levitated torso sized block of earth that can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. Earthen projectiles can be thrown effectively up to 30 feet, and can be used as a shield when positioned in front of someone. Furthermore, she displays better proficiency with smaller pieces of rock (Geokinesis). Daiyu can also manipulate earth into constructs, such as small walls big enough to be able to protect only herself (and perhaps others if they are close enough to her), which can be used for both defense and offense, as well as for practical things like construction. The wall itself is not so powerful and can be broken apart with similarly sized earth.
- Earth Crusher: Upgrade from Earth Stopper. A technique that Daiyu uses to easily destroy rocks and boulders with punches and kicks, even if she has a very small amount of muscle mass. It allows the earthbender to destroy any earthen projectiles sent at her and break out of imprisoning techniques.
- Earthen Armor 2: Upgrade from Earthen Armor. Mastered as an agent of the Dai Li, Daiyu can cover her hands and/or feet in small rocks, then project them at a target as small projectiles or compacted fists and kicks to bludgeon an opponent. The cloves can also be used as detachable hands, maintaining the hand shape and literally grabbing and restraining the opponent from a distance.
Tier 3
- Earthen Armor 3: Upgrade from Earthen Armor 2. Mastered by the Dai Li, Daiyu can cover her hands and/or feet in small rocks, then project them at a target as small projectiles or compacted fists and kicks to bludgeon an opponent. The cloves can also be used as detachable hands, maintaining the hand shape and literally grabbing and restraining the opponent from a distance. The shoes can be used to slide against rock surfaces to travel faster. Both are good for clinging onto rock surfaces for suspension.
