To detail the rock-paper-scissors thing, EA Abysia's weaknesses are definitely air magic and tramplers, the latter mostly early on. However against any infantry based army they are incredibly strong, archers aren't a big threat and niefel giants look pretty tasty.

I'm actually experimenting in SP with an E9A9 bless, dormant titan, to see if the cost is worth paying to shore up that massive weakness. When you look at it IF you can reach the late game with enough gems (mist covered, pretender site search, trading) to conjure some Air Queens there is a lot that air magic has to offer abysia - shock res, arrow fend, mass flight, fog warriors, wind guide. I can't think of a school that does more for them, even earth. It requires a lot of research to get both the casters (Conj 8), and the high Alt and Enchantment magic to get all those, so you have to get by without through the early and mid game. Hopefully the bless on the burning ones is enough!
