While you can start with any Element with your first 5 spins, this guide will go in detail on what is the best one for your play style. Whether you're going for PVP or PVE, I'll show you which Element you should keep as your primary or secondary and which ones you should reroll. Here's my Ninja Time Elements tier list.
Table of contents
All Ninja Time Elements Ranked
I'll be rating Elements in Ninja Time from S-Tier to C-Tier and I won't go below C since no Element is unplayable in the game. That said, some are drastically better than others in terms of DPS and stun-potential. S-Tier and A-Tier elements have the best DPS, B-Tiers are either specific options or weaker versions than S and A, and C-Tiers are underpowered Elements. You can reroll elements in the Customization tab from the Main Menu and grab some free spins with our Ninja Time codes.
S-Tier Elements
| Element | Ranking Reason | All Moves |
 Ice (5% Roll Chance) | Ice is essentially Fire but with stuns. It's easily the best Element in the game right now with excellent DPS, stun potential, and versatility. It's great for both PVP and PVE so if you get it never reroll it. It's also got a mix of both melee and range moves so it offers that Wind flexibility along with Fire levels of DPS. | Freeze (Passive): Some Ice element skills freeze enemies (Stun). Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 10 per needle +1 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) •Cooldown: 6 seconds •Chakra Cost: 15 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 3 •Damage: 20 +6 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) +1 second of freeze •Cooldown: 13 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Damage: 25 +8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) +3 seconds of freeze Defense Break •Cooldown: 18 seconds •Chakra Cost: 35 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 10 •Damage: 30 +10 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) +2 seconds of freeze •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 50 Chakra Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 15 •Damage: 65 +8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) +2 seconds of freeze •Cooldown: 25 seconds •Chakra Cost: 75 Chakra Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 20 •Damage: 3 per hit +0,8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Ice) •Cooldown: 30 seconds •Chakra Cost: 100 Chakra |
A-Tier Elements
| Element | Ranking Reason | All Moves |
 Fire (95% Roll Chance) | Fire is one of the best if not the best DPS Elements in the game but it's only focused on damage without stuns. My advice is if you want to go for Fire as your main DPS which is powerful, make sure you have a secondary supportive Element with some Stun moves. This is a great idea for both PVE and PVP since you'll need to set up your Fire moves with some crowd-control first as they can be hard to hit in PVP for example. | Burn (Passive): Some fire Element skills deal 5 additional damage per second. Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 7 per shuriken +1 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +1 seconds of fire damage •Cooldown: 8 seconds •Chakra Cost: 15 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 2 •Damage: 12 +3 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +1 second of fire damage per second •Cooldown: 10 seconds •Chakra Cost: 25 Chakra Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 7 per fireball +3 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +3 seconds of fire damage •Cooldown: 18 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 20 +4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +3 seconds of fire damage •Cooldown: 12 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 8 •Damage: 12 per hit +1 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +1 second of fire damage per second •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 0 Chakra +5 per second Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 12 •Damage: 30 +3 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +1 second of fire damage per second •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 30 Chakra Move 7 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 16 •Damage: 65 +8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +2 seconds of fire damage •Cooldown: 25 seconds •Chakra Cost: 75 Chakra Move 8 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 15 •Damage: 120 +20 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Fire) +5 seconds of fire damage •Cooldown: 40 seconds •Chakra Cost: 175 Chakra |
 Wind (95% Roll Chance) | Wind is one of the best PVE grinding Elements in the game due to keeping you safe with those AOE ranged attacks. Also, it's got some of the best mobility moves like Lightning but with better damage than Lightning. For PVP it's not the best one but if you're just leveling I wouldn't reroll Wind. | Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 19 +2.5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) •Cooldown: 7 seconds •Chakra Cost: 15 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 2 Dash •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 35 Chakra Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 17 +4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) •Cooldown: 10 seconds •Chakra Cost: 40 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Damage: 18 +8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) Defense Break •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 50 Chakra Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 8 •Damage: 35 +6 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) Defense Break •Cooldown: 12 seconds •Chakra Cost: 65 Chakra Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 12 •Damage: 5 per hit +0,75 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 80 Chakra Move 7 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 16 •Damage: 70 per second +10 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) •Cooldown: 18 seconds •Chakra Cost: 85 Chakra Move 8 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 20 •Damage: Base Damage: 25 per hit +2 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Wind) Defense Break •Cooldown: 40 seconds •Chakra Cost: 100 Chakra |
 Earth (95% Roll Chance) | Many beginner players will trash on Earth but it's actually an all around solid Element with a mix of AOE, damage, and stuns. It is a bit repetitive but it's just a generally reliable option for all situations in both PVP and PVE. It doesn't excel in anything, it just does a lot of things well. | Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 3 per hit +0,5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Earth) •Cooldown: 9 seconds •Chakra Cost: 20 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 2 •Cooldown: 11 seconds •Chakra Cost: 25 Chakra +5 per second Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 15 +12 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Earth) •Cooldown: 13 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 55 Chakra +5 per second Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 8 •Slows: 50% •Cooldown: 18 seconds •Chakra Cost: 50 Chakra Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 12 •Damage: 32 +3,5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Earth) Defense Break •Cooldown: 15 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 7 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 16 •Drain 50 Chakra per second from enemies •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 80 Chakra +5 per second Move 8 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 20 •Damage: 1 per hit +1 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Earth) •Cooldown: 40 seconds •Chakra Cost: 150 Chakra |
B-Tier Elements
| Element | Ranking Reason | All Moves |
 Lightning (95% Roll Chance) | In terms of power, Lightning isn't the best DPS-wise but it has some great stuns. It's major strength is the mobility aspect of its moves for traversing around the open-world and the mobility in combat. That said, once you increase Agility later on and your Chakra Jumps get better, Lightning kind of falls off. If you're having fun with Lightning, go for it, the last move is definitely a powerhouse but note that you won't reach that Fire DPS. | Electrify (Passive): Some Lightning Element skills electrify enemies (Stun). Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 4 per hit +0,7 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) +2 second of electrify •Cooldown: 8 seconds •Chakra Cost: 15 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 2 •Damage: 3 per hit +0,6 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) Stuns •Cooldown: 17 seconds •Chakra Cost: 25 Chakra +5 per second Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 25 +4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) Defense Break +4 seconds of electrify •Cooldown: 12 seconds •Chakra Cost: 45 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Damage: 2 per hit +1,4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) Stuns •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 0 Chakra +5 per second Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 8 •Boosts move speed by +1,5x • Cooldown: 5 seconds • Chakra Cost: 0 Chakra +5 per second Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Damage: 2 per hit +1,4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) Stun enemies •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 0 Chakra +5 per second Move 7 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 16 •Damage: 55 +9 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) +4 seconds of electrify •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 85 Chakra Move 8 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 20 •Damage: 290 +28 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Lightning) +6 seconds of electrify Defense Break •Cooldown: 60 seconds •Chakra Cost: 200 Chakra |
C-Tier Elements
| Element | Ranking Reason | All Moves |
 Water (95% Roll Chance) | While Water can be okay as a second or third Element if you purchased the third Element slot, Water is not your go-to main Element for DPS. It doesn't do the best damage and some of its moves are awkard to use and have no Stun. I would avoid it until you're later in the game and can afford a second or third supporting Element. | Move 1 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 1 •Damage: 17 +3 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) +2 seconds of 25% slow •Cooldown: 8 seconds •Chakra Cost: 20 Chakra Move 2 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 2 •Damage: 24 +4 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) Block projectiles and push enemies •Cooldown: 12 seconds •Chakra Cost: 25 Chakra Move 3 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 4 •Damage: 22 +5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) +2 seconds of 25% slow •Cooldown: 13 seconds •Chakra Cost: 35 Chakra Move 4 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 6 •Damage: 5 per hit +1,5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) Defense Break Stuns •Cooldown: 16 seconds •Chakra Cost: 50 Chakra Move 5 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 8 •Damage: 5 per hit +1,5 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) Defense Break Stuns •Cooldown: 20 seconds •Chakra Cost: 65 Chakra Move 6 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 12 •Damage: 65 +8 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) +2 seconds of 25% slow •Cooldown: 25 seconds •Chakra Cost: 85 Chakra Move 7 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 16 •Damage: 40 per water pillar +14 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) •Cooldown: 30 seconds •Chakra Cost: 95 Chakra Move 8 •Requirement: Ninjutsu: 20 •Damage: 100 +16 per mastery level (Ninjutsu/Water) Defense Break •Cooldown: 40 seconds •Chakra Cost: 150 Chakra |
