The last fight

Why did Aang rely mostly on earth bending in the final fight with the fire lord?

Air is where he is most talented and Throughout the whole show, he plays with zuko or don’t seems.

It was mainly defensive and earth is the best defense against fire. Ozai was on the offensive for most of the fight until Aang unlocked the Avatar State. Ozai didn't leave any room for anything but evasion and defense until Aang actually had the power to overwhelm a Comet strengthened Fire Lord.

Even still, Aang picked Zuko apart with air, as a defense most of the time

Huge difference between Zuko (even at his peak) and a comet powered Ozai
