What is the best Element in Roblox Shindo Life? | Elements Tier List

Elements in the popular anime RPG Shindo Life can be learned and mastered to help your character grow stronger, more powerful, and ultimately work towards becoming the best fighter in the world. Since these Elements play such a massive role in your character's development, it's important to familiarize yourself with all of them and, even more importantly, know which are the best. Continue reading below for our tier list of all Shindo Life Elements.

What are Elements?

Elements are a form of power that dictate which special abilities players can use. Some Elements are more rare than others, thus giving the player better moves and abilities. These Elements can be spun for in the character customization menu, or Edit menu, which can be accessed from Shindo Life's main screen.

Element tier list

When reading through this list it's important to keep in mind that not everyone uses the same play style, so the best Elements for us might not be the best Elements for you and vice versa—it may take a while to figure out which Shindo Life Element is truly best for you. Until then however, it may benefit you to check out our picks!

S tier

Acid
- Summary:
  - Not only is Acid the best overall Element in Shindo Life at the time of this article's publication, it's held its ground for a while! It's hard to find an Element that can deal high amounts of damage, block break, and actually stun enemies for long periods of time, but Acid manages to do it all, and do it all well.
- Rarity:
  - 1/80
- Moves:
  - Liquid Style: Acid Breath
  - Liquid Style: Acid Field
  - Liquid Style: Acid Shark
  - Liquid Style: Acid Slide
  - Liquid Style: Acidic Wave
  - Liquid Style: Acidic Twin Dragon
Stone
- Summary:
  - Due to Stone's consistent buffs, this Element has quickly made its way to the top of our tier list. IFrames, or invincibility frames, are also this Element's best friend. Because of Stone's IFrames, players are more or less granted with invincibility during certain attack animations, meaning that they cannot take damage for a short period of time.
- Rarity:
  - 1/5
- Moves:
  - Stone Style: Earth Wall
  - Stone Style: Rage Trail
  - Stone Style: Earth Barrier
  - Stone Style: Stone Barrage
  - Stone Style: Earth Dragon
  - Stone Style: Earth Pillars
Prism Style
- Summary:
  - Prism Style and its counterpart, Shiver, are both heavy hitters that utilize impressive, unique abilities. Not only do their moves deal hefty amounts of damage, they can also paralyze their opponents, leaving them stunned while continuously lowering their HP. The animations of these Elements are also just really cool, which helps its ranking.
- Rarity:
  - 1/150
- Moves:
  - Shock Style: Shock Bombs
  - Shock Style: Blast
  - Shock Style: Thunder Rain
  - Shock Style: Laser Stream
  - Shock Style: Shock Slam
  - Shock Style: Lightning Blaze
Shiver
- Summary:
  - Basically just a slightly weaker, and less limited, version of Prism Style, Shiver has all of the same moves and abilities as its counterpart.
- Rarity:
  - 1/90
- Moves:
  - Shock Style: Shock Bombs
  - Shock Style: Blast
  - Shock Style: Thunder Rain
  - Shock Style: Laser Stream
  - Shock Style: Shock Slam
  - Shock Style: Lightning Blaze

A tier

Yang
- Summary:
  - Both Yang and Yin are Elements that teeter between S and A tier. While their move sets are very similar, they're both powerful and efficient with numerous auto-tracking moves, Yang does pull ahead slightly over Yin simply because of its personalized abilities.
- Rarity:
  - 1/150
- Moves:
  - Dark Style: Sword Blaze
  - Dark Style: Sword Flash
  - Dark Style: Sword Breaker
  - Dark Style: Sword Bash
  - Dark Style: Sword Blaze
  - Dark Style: Raging Slice
Yin
- Summary:
  - As mentioned above in the description for Yang, Yin is a powerful, high damage dealing Element that takes out enemies efficiently, it just falls slightly behind the other Elements above it.
- Rarity:
  - 1/150
- Moves:
  - Light Style: Sword Flash
  - Light Style: Sword Breaker
  - Light Style: Sword Bash
  - Light Style: Sword Blaze
  - Light Style: Raging Slice
Order
- Summary:
  - Order and its sister Element, Chaos, (noticing a pattern here?) are both evasive and stealthy Elements. The moves of these elements can still pack a punch, with numerous knock back and stun abilities, however their main pro is their long lasting auto-dodge ability. If you're looking for at least one Element that can get you out of nearly any situation, Order or Chaos is the way to go.
- Rarity:
  - 1/100
- Moves:
  - Order Style: Beam of Light
  - Order Style: Grenade of Light
  - Order Style: Shock of Light
  - Order Style: Bomb of Light
  - Order Style: Blade of Light
  - Order Style: Gravity of Light
Chaos
- Summary:
  - Chaos, the dark equivalent to Order, uses the same moves as its counterpart, but in a different style. This Element is just as stealth focused as Order.
- Rarity:
  - 1/100
- Moves:
  - Chaos Style: Beam of Light
  - Chaos Style: Grenade of Light
  - Chaos Style: Shock of Light
  - Chaos Style: Bomb of Light
  - Chaos Style: Blade of Light
  - Chaos Style: Gravity of Light

B tier

Combustion
- Summary
  - Combustion serves as a sort of re-skin or remake of the basic Flame Element—a majority of its moves are the same as Flame, they've just been made to be stronger and more durable. Combustion alone can damage enemies through attacks, stuns, knock backs, and even status effects such as burns. Because of this, Combustion sits at the top of our B tier.
- Rarity:
  - 1/90
- Moves:
  - Flame Style: Flame Breath
  - Flame Style: Phoenix Rising
  - Flame Style: Dual Grand Flameball
  - Flame Style: Flame Bullet
  - Flame Style: Dragon Bullet
  - Flame Style: Dragon Bomb
Cement
- Summary:
  - Though Cement is made to be the elevated version of Stone, it often falls beneath its parter Element in several categories. Cement is a solid choice for combo-ing various moves (it has decent move to move time and can build up some hefty damage), however other than its button mashing abilities, it doesn't have much to hold it above some of the more powerful Elements.
- Rarity:
  - 1/80
- Moves:
  - Cement Style: Solid Wall
  - Cement Style: Bullet Blaze
  - Cement Style: Solid Dragon
  - Cement Style: Rage Trail
  - Cement Style: Earth Sink
  - Cement Style: Quicksand
Liquid
- Summary:
  - Liquid is one of the most common starting Elements for new players and it's honestly not terrible. It has some high damaging moves, a few knock back moves, and even an impressive stun move in Liquid Style: Prison. The only downfall to Liquid is that these Prison type moves are becoming more common in other Elements that are more powerful, so Liquid's relevance is beginning to lack.
- Rarity:
  - 1/5
- Moves:
  - Liquid Style: Waterball
  - Liquid Style: Raging Waves
  - Liquid Style: Shark Blitz
  - Liquid Style: Wave
  - Liquid Style: Prison
  - Liquid Style: Dragon
Gale
- Summary:
  - Gale may lack in many areas when compared to other Elements, however its hidden potential keeps it just above C tier. The moves may be slow and difficult to combo, however when used by the right player with enough patience, Gale can be a decently effective Element in combat.
- Rarity:
  - 1/90
- Moves:
  - Gale Style: Vortex
  - Gale Style: Windshock
  - Gale Style: Wind Current
  - Gale Style: Blast
  - Gale Style: Wind Shock Slam
  - Gale Style: Storm Burst

C tier

Flame
- Summary:
  - While Flame isn't a high damage Element by any means, it is a solid beginner Element nonetheless. Because Flame isn't meant for heavy hitting moves, the user has more of a chance to input and combo multiple, lower damage moves that their opponent may not expect. Flame is also one of the simpler Elements to use in Shindo Life, meaning it can be a great way for newer players to train and learn which play style works best for them.
- Rarity:
  - 1/5
- Moves:
  - Flame Style: Fire Bullet
  - Flame Style: Phoenix Rising
  - Flame Style: Grand Flameball
  - Flame Style: Flame Breath
  - Flame Style: Dragon Bullet
  - Flame Style: Dragon Bomb
Shock
- Summary:
  - While shock does have a decently equal amount of damage, stun power, and mobility, it's really not enough to put it above the other Elements on this list. Shock can also be difficult to maneuver around at times due to the animations of its moves, limiting the number of players who would actually find enjoyment or the worth in using it.
- Rarity:
  - 1/5
- Moves:
  - Shock Style: Stream
  - Shock Style: Blast
  - Shock Style: Senbon
  - Shock Style: Electro Control
  - Shock Style: Thunder Rain
  - Shock Style: Dragon Bomb

D tier

Air
- Summary:
  - Coming in at last place on our tier list is Air—an Element that is likely forgotten by a majority of Shindo Life players. This Element isn't necessarily horrible, it just doesn't hold up when compared to any other Element in the experience. Its one major pro is its impressive knock back ability, and even that has been replicated by so many other Elements that offer a knock back plus more damage, stealth, status effects, etc.
- Rarity:
  - 1/5
- Moves:
  - Air Style: Bullet Rush
  - Air Style: Wind Cutter
  - Air Style: Blast
  - Air Style: Vortex
  - Air Style: Palm Blast
  - Air Style: Tornado

End

That's our tier list for all of the Elements in Shindo Life! As mentioned in the first graph, keep in mind that what we've ranked as the best may not be the best for you, and vice versa—it's more important to pick the Elements that you feel as though you can play the best, rather than just going off of our list!
