Official launch material describes her as bending the battlefield.

Toph Guide
Toph is the official battlefield-control earthbender and an A-tier placement in the accessible launch snapshot.
Who is Toph in the roster?
Toph is the launch-roster earthbender slot. The official reveal identifies her as the Blind Bandit, while the launch modes post describes bending the battlefield with her.
Use Toph when controlling grounded space appeals more than constant air movement. Start by identifying range and recovery instead of assuming every earth effect is safe.
What tools can the public sources confirm?
Her reveal uses the Blind Bandit identity.
Current community guides cover playstyle, mixups, combos, and Badgermole support.

|---|---|---|---|
| Command Normals | 6B | Tigerdillo's Roar | Toph earthbends a stone she blasts apart with a double-handed punch. |
| Flow Moves | 6D | Rock Slide | Toph earthbends rocks under her to surf towards opponents. Can be held to extend duration of surf. Avoids highs while surfing. |
| Flow Moves | 2D | Rooted Stance | Toph takes a low stance and immediately becomes armored. Armor takes one hit before breaking. If using the Boulder support character, can be held after initial armor ends, activating Hyper Armor. While holding, drains flow. |
| Flow Moves | 4D | Shifting Earth | Toph earthbends the stage to pull opponent towards her. Avoids highs while holding pull. |
| Specials | 236A / 236B | Gauntlet Tackle | Toph charges forward with a gauntlet made of Earth. |
| Specials | 236C | Crushing Gauntlet | Toph earthbends a suit of armor before bursting out of it with a charge tackle. Crushing Gauntlet is armored at the start of the move, but not while it is attacking. |
| Specials | 236XX | Boulder Blitz | Toph earthbends a suit of armor and does a far ranged tackle with it. Boulder Blitz quickly becomes armored, and then is armored until the recovery of the move. |
| Specials | 214A / 214B / 214C | Badgermole's Sight | Toph enters a stance which starts expanding her seismic sense. If the rings make contact with opponent, Toph automatically follows up with an enhanced Badgermole's Claw at the opponent's location.Source coverage differs — Avatar Wiki: 214A / 214B / 214C; SuperCombo additionally lists: 214XX. |
| Specials | 214XX | Badgermole's Sight (EX) | Toph quickly expands her seismic sense, powering up followups. If the rings make contact with opponent, Toph creates a wall of earth that stays out until its destroyed or Toph is thrown. Hitting opponent with certain moves that knock them into the wall can cause the wall to break, wallbouncing opponent.Source coverage differs — Avatar Wiki: 214XX; SuperCombo additionally lists: 214A / 214B / 214C. |
| Specials | 236D | Dust Storm | 2 Energy; Armor |
| Supers | 236ABC | Seismic Shockwave | Toph earthbends massive boulders towards the sky, striking airborne and grounded opponents. |
| Supers | 214ABC | Earthbender's Summit | Toph metalbends a door out of metals within the ground. If successfully connects with opponent, goes into metalbending sequence that ends with a big armored punch. If throw fails to connect, Toph punches the door and sends it flying as a projectile. |
A first-session Toph practice route
- 1
Test one grounded attack at three distances.
- 2
Use the current Trial Demo and Breakdown before adding an external route.
- 3
Observe whether a jump changes the opponent’s interaction with the earth effect.
Keep the Training input history visible. If a route uses a support, resource, corner position, or variant that does not match your setup, stop and correct the state before changing the timing.
Toph combo and Trial references
These links are study references, not proof that every displayed route still works in every build. Match the character, support, resource, position, and Trial name before practicing.

Where are the text BnBs?
Exact BnB notation requires a current-build reference that shows every input, support, resource, and position. A video title alone is not enough to produce a reliable command string.
Current deep-study route
Use these current public guides as indexed practice material. The focus comes from each guide’s public title and description; the exact inputs still need to match the live command list and footage.

Badgermole stance movement
214, hold Flow, then 9 or 7Setup: Badgermole support; enter stance, hold Flow, then use the forward or back diagonal.
The guide uses this to jump forward or back from stance; recheck the current input display.
Open cited moment →Pillar into stance
236A → 214ASetup: Test the transition after the pillar connects.
The creator warns that Aang and Zuko hurtboxes do not make this transition reliable.
Open cited moment →Pillar juggle timing
Immediate 2C after the pillar risesSetup: Use the same pillar starter and input 2C immediately.
Treat “immediate” as a timing drill and verify it with input history.

5C → 214ASetup: Wait briefly after 5C; release A after entering stance before tapping or holding C.
The timing and hold choice are taken from the guide narration.

5B → 6BSetup: Record the dummy challenging between hits.
The creator describes 6B as safe and long-reaching; recheck current frame data in Training.
Open cited moment →Down Flow launcher
Down Flow → ASetup: Test the hit, armor interaction, and Chakra display separately.
The creator reports a launch and +2 Chakra; treat both as patch-sensitive player measurements.
Open cited moment →Artificial corner
214EXSetup: Create the pillar behind Toph at midscreen.
The guide describes tap as the faster pillar and hold as the more advantageous version.
Open cited moment →How should you test Toph matchups?
There is not yet a source-backed win-rate or matchup chart for all 12 launch slots. Use these character-specific questions as a Training and replay checklist:
- How does Toph answer an opponent who stays airborne?
- Which distance lets her control ground without being punished?
- Does the support cover the air space her main tool does not?
A matchup answer belongs here only after the opposing character, support, patch, range, resource state, and defensive response are stated.
Current command and frame-data method
- Open Training with Toph and enable input history.
- Open the current command list and record the exact button labels for your device.
- Use the Training frame-data display named in the current Steam description.
- Test the same move from the same position at least twice before recording a value.
