Reasons for Rankings

S Tier

Element Name

Reason for Rating

Prism Style

Good AOE, speed, and block break. Its main downside despite its power is the slow wind-up per ability due to the number of handsigns.

Acid

Good AOE and crowd control, as well as a bit of mobility. Strong element for both PVE and PVP.

A Tier

Element Name

Reason for Rating

Pyromania

Its Flame Spin Kicks and laser move are pretty good, and its forward dashing grip can catch people offguard

Chaos

Pretty good for both PVE and PVP, especially with its long reach and AOE

Order

Same as Chaos (identical movesets)

Yin

It has good range and damage output, if you can land its moves

Yang

Same as Yin (similar movesets)

Shiver

Shiver has some block breaking abilities and decently strong moves

Gilga

Same as Yin (exact same moveset)

B Tier

Element Name

Reason for Rating

Gale

Terrible for PVE compared to most other elements, but it can be pretty good for pure PVP

Fire

Pretty strong in PVE but only kind of okay in PVP compared to others

Lightning

Pretty good element for PVE, but way too slow and predictable in PVP

C Tier

Element Name

Reason for Rating

Gale

Terrible for PVE compared to most other elements, but it can be pretty good for pure PVP

Fire

Pretty strong in PVE but only kind of okay in PVP compared to others

Lightning

Pretty good element for PVE, but way too slow and predictable in PVP

D Tier

Element Name

Reason for Rating

Earth

While Earth has the potential to be great for PVE, it falls off a lot in PVP, making it not too desireable overall

Wind

Usable in PVE, but also falls off in PVP due to how easy it is to counter
