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

Elements	Description
Ice	Extremely strong element focused on crowd control and bursts of damage.
Fire	A very strong element focused on ranged attacks and high damage.
Lightning	A very strong element focused on high speed and crowd control.
Wind	A strong element focused on ranged attacks and escaping enemies.
Earth	A strong element focused on crowd control, high defense, and high health.
Water	An element focused on crowd control and escaping enemies.

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.

To reroll Elements in Ninja Time, click on the ‘Spin’ button from the main menu. You will end up on a screen that looks a bit like a slot machine. From there, you can reroll your Elements, Family, and Clans. But make sure you spend the spins wisely, as they are quite limited and hard to get.

And there you have it. You learned everything there is to know about Elements from our Ninja Time Elements guide and tier list. Check out our Ninja Time Families and Clans guides for more fun and relevant information.
