Due to a bug, Earthquake is not subject to magic defense. It does not have an element, so it will always deal full damage based on its successes. Further, it deals double damage against Earth monsters. Earthquake was intended to be ineffective against Flying monsters, but a separate bug prevents that effect.

Earthquake is the most common Terrain ability in early game dungeons, before Geomancers actually become available. In maps you're likely to take a Geomancer into, Earthquake tends to show up during a lot of boss fights.
