Electricity, ice, water, ground, fire or wind.
Out of the six, I would go for water or ice... USUALLY. But ground seems to have an overall advantage.
Ground would consist (as I see it) of:
Rooting effects (Encasing people's feet in rock etc.) - Causing fissures/Earthquakes - Creating plants fast-mode (Making soil unnaturally fertile) - Hurling boulders - Turning people into stone - Rock slides - Controlling earth's minerals (Iron, diamond etc.) - Volcanoes and mountains bro. Volcanoes and mountains.
It all seems like a three pronged attack. Everything in nature is connected to the ground we walk on. Face it. Controlling the ground is basically being able to manipulate earth, the floor they stand on, or superhuman plants to annihilate foes.
Now, for my unnecessarily long tactics section:
Vs wind:
This is pretty straight forward. They fly... Throw rocks and/or create tall trees to shroud you on the ground, or, if you're feeling ambitious, make the plants pull them down to the ground. Defend attacks with a ground barrier, and all's fine.
Vs fire: FISSURES EVERYWHERE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! *Cough* What I meant to say was. If you can basically put them into a stone tomb with no oxygen... NOTHING CAN BURN! It's an instant win, and you know it. Fire also has an inability to burn the ground. Sure, burn the plants, but the floor is still there...
Vs Electricity: This is straight forward. Electricity is basically going to slap you silly, but the second you start using minerals that conduct, you start winning. Iron ore ball? No thanks, it's just been electrified, eat thunder dirtbag. Wait... I'm the dirtbag... Literally... I'm throwing around dirt.... *Cries*
Vs Ice: Smash... Enough said. Ice is grounds *****, and you can't deny it. The very second you open a hole to the molten core of the earth, they cower in fear. Volcanoes galore people.
Vs Water: Now... This is the tricky one. Water is basically your nemesis if you're a ground user. Use of fissures is nullified by his manipulation of clouds to fly. Volcanoes....yeah.... and plants, tsunami pls go. But. There is a way. It's stupendously difficult, sure, but it can happen. The oceanic plates... Move em... sure, you'll be exhausted, but moving the earth's plates to put you somewhere more suitable for you would work, if you can survive that nasty water ball and... aww, hell. Let's just say water beats earth.
Vs Ground: It's rock, paper, scissors folks. Volcano > Plants > Earth > Volcano.
Here's why: 1) Plants steal minerals from the earth, weakening it. 2)Volcanoes can be closed by solidifying the molten lavainto rock. 3) Plants burn... It's a well known fact.
