Earth Spirit is picked in 6% of Very High matches, 4.2% of High and 2.9% of Normal, and wins 50.4% / 49.7% / 48.5%. Stone Remnant calls remnants he can use with his spells: Boulder Smash kicks a remnant or a unit into enemies, damaging them and slowing them if it was a remnant, Rolling Boulder rolls him into an enemy, Geomagnetic Grip pulls a remnant or an ally and silences the enemies it passes, and Magnetize damages enemies and makes nearby remnants explode. He is a midgame hero: his team gains more XP in 45.5% of games before minute 15 and 50.6% to minute 35, and he wins 48.2% of games under 25 minutes, 50% at 25–50 and 48.1% past 50.

Earth Spirit needs a moment to place remnants and line up his spells, and Marci doesn't give it. Rebound springs her off an ally and stuns where she lands, and Unleash delivers fast combos that slow his movement and attack speed. Dispose throws him into her team instead of letting him roll away. Her team gains more XP in 51.2% of games between minutes 15 and 35.
Marci wins 60.8% of the 74 games under 25 minutes, 51.6% at 25–50 (1,866 games) and 51% past 50 (365 games), with an XP-gain share of 48.5% after minute 35.

Marci wins 50.5% / 55.8% / 50.4% (Very High / High / Normal) against Earth Spirit, against her usual 50% / 48.8% / 48.2%.
