  • Several boss encounters in DC Universe Online content utilise Earth abilities as mechanics. These include Tala in JLD: Shattered Gotham raid, and Terra in the Titans: H.I.V.E. Reborn raid.
  • Additionally, some boss encounters in Atlantean themed content utilise a coral variant of Earth abilities as mechanics. These include the Coralmancer sub boss in the Murk boss encounter in the Atlantis: Crown of Thorns raid. These have a distinctive pink coral animation instead of the original animation.
