Surface-to-air rocks, also known as surface-to-surface rocks when used alternatively, are projectiles used as the primary weapons of the Royal Earthbender Guards. Usually launched from the watchtowers outside of the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace, these large earthen frusta are used both as offensive and defensive armaments. Once possible threats to the earth monarch's safety are spotted, several of these rocks are lined up and fired in quick succession so as to effectively prevent invaders from bypassing the palace's defenses.

  • Surface-to-air rocks, also known as surface-to-surface rocks when used alternatively, are projectiles used as the primary weapons of the Royal Earthbender Guards. Usually launched from the watchtowers outside of the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace, these large earthen frusta are used both as offensive and defensive armaments. The purpose of surface-to-air rocks is to prevent intruders from entering the royal palace. Primarily used as surface-to-surface rocks to halt invaders on foot, the weapons can also effectively be used to ward off an aerial assault. The rocks are large frusta prepared by the dozens. When launched, these projectiles are flipped so that the small jutted side impacts the target first. This is advantageous, as the rock's positioning makes it less likely for intruders to dodge the attack. Once possible threats to the earth monarch's safety are spotted, several of these rocks are lined up and fired in quick succession so as to effectively prevent invaders from bypassing the palace's defenses.
