In Ninja Time, mastering the Elements is key to unlocking your true potential as a ninja. Each Element grants you powerful and unique abilities, whether you harness the Fire for destructive attacks or control the Wind for swift maneuvers. Select your favorite Element with our Ninja Time Elements guide and tier list below.
Ninja Time Elements Tier List
The Ice and Fire Elements are the best, most versatile Elements in Ninja Time. Ice provides almost unlimited crowd control, while Fire provides intense damage from afar. For newer players, we recommend Earth and Lightning, as they are easy to use and provide a lot of universal damage.
Ninja Time Elements List
Unfortunately, not all Elements are as useful as others. Ice is a unique Element, as it is outside of the usual 5 Elements. It is also of higher rarity (5%), justifying its better stats. All Elements are good, but if you are a beginner, we recommend Lightning or Fire because of their damage and utility. I will write a detailed overview of all Elemental Abilities below.
