Elements Guide

Every element, ranked and explained

This page covers all 6 Broken Blade elements, their effects, rarity chances, and how element stacking works. Use it to decide which elements to chase and how to farm Element Rerolls efficiently.

Updated: June 10, 2026

Recommended Route

Elements in Broken Blade are passive stat-boosting traits similar to Races and Blessings. Unlike Races, Elements can stack — each time you reroll, you add a new element to your collection instead of replacing the old one. With up to 6 slots, choosing which elements to keep and which to keep rolling for is a key part of mid-to-lategame progression. This page tracks all 6 elements, their documented effects, tier rankings, and practical farming advice for Element Rerolls.

Keep / Reroll Plan: Strong support element for fast weapon types. Keep for Katana builds.

Fire

Legendary (8.79%)

Best Use: Best overall DPS element

Effects: +50% Damage

When To Reroll: Almost never. This is the top priority element for any build.

Keep / Reroll Plan: Keep immediately. Works with every weapon type and every build.

Thunder

Mythical (3.62%)

Best Use: Crit-heavy builds

Effects: +50% Crit Damage

When To Reroll: When your crit rate is too low to benefit from crit damage scaling

Keep / Reroll Plan: Top-tier secondary element. Best paired with high crit rate gear and the Crit Rune.

Element Tier Breakdown

This ranking is based on practical damage value, build versatility, and how each element scales into endgame content.

S Tier

Fire

The best element overall. +50% Damage works with every build, every weapon type, and every content type.

A Tier

Thunder

Excellent secondary element. +50% Crit Damage is extremely strong when paired with a decent crit rate.

B Tier

Wind

Solid support element. +15% Attack Speed shines with fast weapons like Katana.

C Tier

Life, Earth, Water

Situational filler elements. Useful for specific needs but outclassed by offensive options.

How Broken Blade Elements Work

Elements are passive stat modifiers

Each equipped element gives your character a passive stat boost. Unlike Races, elements stack — you can equip multiple elements at once. Rolling for a new element adds it to your collection instead of replacing an existing one.

Element rerolling unlocks at Level 500

You cannot reroll elements before reaching Level 500. Once you hit that threshold, you can use Element Reroll items to roll for a random element. Each successful roll adds the element to your available slots.

Farm Velik Boss for Element Rerolls

The fastest way to get Element Rerolls is farming the Velik Boss, which has an 84.75% drop chance. Ragaros is the second-best option at 79.42%. Other bosses like Moraros (67.43%) and Magador (71.43%) also drop rerolls but at lower rates.

6 elements across 6 rarity tiers

There is one element per rarity tier: Common (Earth), Uncommon (Water), Rare (Life), Epic (Wind), Legendary (Fire), and Mythical (Thunder). Higher rarity does not always mean better for your specific build — a well-matched support element can outperform a high-rarity one in some scenarios.

Element Reroll & Stacking Strategy

Elements stack, unlike Races

This is the key difference between Elements and Races. When you reroll your race, the old one is replaced. When you reroll your element, the new one is added alongside your existing ones. This makes element collection much more forgiving — you don't lose progress when chasing better rolls.

Stop at Legendary for a solid collection

Gamezebo recommends configuring your auto-stop at Legendary rarity for a stack of 5 elements, or Mythical if you want all 6. This is practical advice: Fire (Legendary) is the single most impactful element, and Thunder (Mythical) is a strong bonus. Stopping at Legendary means you keep Fire and don't waste rerolls chasing the perfect 6-slot loadout.

Prioritize Fire first, then Thunder

If you can only lock in a few elements, aim for Fire first. The flat +50% Damage boost works in every scenario. Thunder is the second priority — its +50% Crit Damage requires decent crit rate to be effective. Wind, Life, Earth, and Water fill out the remaining slots in that order.

Do not overlook early filler elements

Earth (+10% Damage Reduction) and Life (+3% Life Steal) can make a meaningful difference during early progression. Keep them until you have enough Element Rerolls to reliably farm for Fire and Thunder. Empty slots are worse than having a low-rarity element equipped.

Best Element Picks by Build Type

If you care more about your playstyle than raw rarity, use these pairings to find the best element setup for your build.

Best all-around DPS build

You want the strongest universal element setup that works with any weapon and any content.

Best Slot: Fire + Thunder

Alternative: Fire + Wind

Fire is non-negotiable for any DPS build. Thunder is the best second pick if you have crit rate. Wind is a solid alternative.

Best bossing / survivability build

You need sustained damage output and survivability for long boss fights.

Best Slot: Fire + Life

Alternative: Fire + Earth

Fire provides the damage. Life sustains you through long fights. Earth is an alternative if you prefer flat damage reduction.

Best Katana / fast weapon build

You use Katana or other fast-attacking weapons and want attack speed synergy.

Best Slot: Fire + Wind

Alternative: Fire + Thunder

Wind's +15% Attack Speed stacks well with fast weapon types. Thunder is the fallback for higher burst potential.

Best crit-focused build

You have high crit rate gear and want to maximize crit damage scaling.

Best Slot: Thunder + Fire

Alternative: Fire + Wind

Thunder moves to priority 1 if your crit rate is high enough. Pair with the Crit Rune for maximum effect.

Best beginner / early progression

You are still leveling and filling element slots. Use whatever is available.

Best Slot: Any available element

Alternative: Prioritize Fire when rolled

Early on, any element is better than an empty slot. Once you get Fire, build around it. Use Earth or Life for survivability while leveling.
