Summon Earth

Summon Earth is one of 's summoning arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It summons an earth elemental that raises physical defence and can be discharged for strong poison damage.

Overview
Earth has the longest cooldown by far of all the elementals, and for good reason. Not only does it reduce damage taken from physical attacks (which, due to auto-attacks being almost exclusively physical, are more common than ether attacks), but when discharged it deals insane damage if the poison is allowed to run its entire duration. Summon Copy will be a massive help for working around the long cooldown.
