Roblox: Elemental Dungeons tier list - Best (and worst) elements (2024)

• Angel
• Reaper
• Phantom

With a new max mastery of 250, Angel has recently jumped from Epic to Legendary rarity. It is strong against Reaper, among others, and weak only against Lightning and Lava. It can deal massive AOE damage and heal nearby allies.

Reaper was considered the best element before Phantom came along. This Mythic rarity element has a maximum mastery of 500. As you unlock new mastery, Reaper can summon minions that can tank and deal massive damage. As the final move, Reaper transforms into the Grim Reaper, bringing along certain death.Phantom dishes out high damage - you don’t need to unlock too many mastery levels to get the best out of this element because it has high spamability. Every move deals high AOE damage and it looks super cool.

• Galaxy
• Lightning
• Light
• Lava
• Ice
• Dragon

Galaxy is one of the three Mythic elements in the game, but it doesn’t sit at the same table as the other two. The reason is low damage. Galaxy is one of the quickest elements and has a decent range, but its damage gets progressively lower. On top of that, it’s weak against Water, and that has some consequences. The Black Hole skill is impressive, though, hence the A tier.

When an element is strong against EIGHT of the total fifteen elements in the game, A tier is the least it deserves. Lightning is an Epic element that has been nerfed, nerfed, and nerfed, and yet still seems OP somehow. If it wasn’t for the nerfs, Lightning could have been in the S tier, but it still gives the Mythic and Legendary elements a run for their money. The damage-dealing abilities of this element are insane. Lightning is capable of destroying anything the game throws at you.

Light is an Epic tier element that was added to Elemental Dungeons with Update 1. It has 300 max mastery, and much like other elements, Light also has FIVE abilities. However, what sets Light apart is the fact that its third ability, Light Ray, and the ultimate, Light Barrage, cast 16 ticks of damage while dealing 3-figure and 4-figure damage per tick respectively. Light is a decent substitute if you can’t get your hands on a Mythic element.Lava is the latest addition to the list of Legendary elements in Elemental Dungeons, and it’s a great addition. Strong against Angel and Phantom, has a summoning skill, can launch attacks that have up to 12 ticks, Lava is the complete package as long as you stay out of the Jungle Dungeon. Lava is weak against Earth and Galaxy elements and its range isn’t the best, but it gets the job done if you can get up close and personal.

Ice is exactly what you’d expect from an Epic element. It does plenty of damage, but it is not overpowered. Ice can fight and destroy anyone and anything, but it’s hard work. Unlike the Mythic elements, you can’t one-shot anyone with Ice. But that doesn’t make Ice a bad element. Once you reach a good enough mastery level, you can spam an Ice Barrage and Ice Shuriken combo to deal massive damage that goes as high as 10,000+.

Dragon is a Legendary element that gives your avatar red and black wings and makes it breathe fire. The cosmetics alone make it one of my favourite elements. However, this tier list takes into account the damage-dealing abilities more than anything else. Thankfully, Dragon is decent at that too. With short and long-ranged attacks, Dragon can deal direct, AOE, and overtime damage by setting enemies on fire and spraying them with acid. But the best thing about Dragon is the boss killing abilities.

• Fire
• Gravity
• Nature

Fire is a mixed bag. This Rare element is the best suited for beginners thanks to the Mastery 1 skill, Fireball. Depending on where you point, Fireball can deal mid-range AOE damage to multiple enemies or high direct damage to a single enemy. Even the second skill, Flame Smash, deals high AOE damage. But the problem is with the third and fourth skills. They knock back enemies and shield the player but don’t deal too much damage.

Although it is Legendary, Gravity doesn’t really belong in the Legendary tier. While I won’t tag it as the weakest Legendary element in the game, it’s certainly not the strongest. The damage it deals is mediocre at best, but a couple of things are OP which saved Gravity from falling down to C tier. First is the seemingly unlimited range of the second skill, Meteor, and the second is the low cooldowns. Almost all of Gravity's skills become available within 5-10 seconds.

Nature is the best Rare element in Elemental Dungeons. Just like Fire, Nature is also very beginner-friendly due to its high AOE damage, shorter cool-down times, and easy Mastery growth. The first two skills unlock at Mastery 1. Nature’s Beam can be used for snipping, direct attacks, and a small AOE attack as well. The second M1 skill, Tornado, also unlocks instantly and deals damage upwards of 20,000.

• Earth

Earth only has a max mastery of 125, which is pretty easy to achieve but not worth it. With 70 Mastery achieved, you can unlock THREE of Earth element’s skills. Those are enough to defeat the Jungle Boss. After that, the Earth element ain’t defeating no one. Don’t bother trying to achieve 125 Mastery for Earth’s ultimate move, Earthquake - it’s bad.

• Water
• Air

I’ll just say it. Air is a bad Rare element that’s pretty easy to get early. However, you should forget about it as soon as you get it. Fighting enemies with Air is hard and fighting boss battles is harder. The attacks launched are all over the place and miss the target half of the time. It’s only strong against elements that are weaker than Air.

Low damage, high AOE, strong against SIX elements but weak against SEVEN, Water is a weird element and not in a good way. Water is the only element whose strongest ability is the first one. As you unlock Mastery Skills 2 and 3, the attack stats get lower and lower. It’s just not worth building on unless you’re really bored and are looking for a challenge.

That’s it for my Elemental Dungeons tier list post Update 3. As the meta changes, which it surely will, I’ll make sure to update this tier list accordingly. Until then, have fun and keep an eye on similar content like the Anime Dimensions tier list, the Blade Ball ability tier list or the Ultimate Tower Defense tier list, to name a few that stand out.
