Elements are the defining factor of your endgame build in VV Ultimatum. While weapon choice determines how you fight, your Element determines what makes your build powerful. Some Elements excel in PvP duels, some dominate group fights, while others are simply easier to use during progression.

Arrancar Element Tier List
S Tier – Los Lobos
Rarity: Legendary (1%)
Los Lobos is currently the dream roll for most Arrancar players.
The Element is inspired by Starrk’s wolves from Bleach and is expected to offer powerful ranged pressure, burst damage, and excellent scaling with Resurrección. Legendary rarity alone doesn’t automatically make an Element powerful, but Los Lobos has consistently been viewed as one of the strongest options available.
Pros
- Excellent endgame scaling
- Strong PvP potential
- High burst damage
- Rare and highly sought after
Cons
- Extremely difficult to obtain
A Tier – Shark
Rarity: Rare (9%)
Shark offers a strong balance between offense and utility.
Many players consider Shark the best realistic Element to use if you don’t want to spend endless rerolls chasing Los Lobos.
Pros
- Strong damage
- Reliable throughout progression
- Good PvP performance
Cons
- Outclassed by Los Lobos
B Tier – Fury
Rarity: Rare (9%)
Fury focuses on aggressive combat and straightforward damage.
It’s solid for players who enjoy constant pressure but lacks the versatility of Shark.
B Tier – Luminosity
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Luminosity performs surprisingly well for its rarity.
For a common progression build, it’s one of the safest choices available.
C Tier – Electro
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Electro offers utility and mobility but currently lacks the raw impact of higher-tier Arrancar Elements.
D Tier – Frozen Haze
Rarity: Common (60%)
Frozen Haze is serviceable for early progression but is usually rerolled once players obtain better options.
Quincy Schrift Tier List
S Tier – The Superstar
Rarity: Legendary (1%)
The Superstar is widely viewed as the strongest Quincy Schrift available.
Its combination of pressure, survivability, and overall combat performance makes it the premier choice for competitive players.
Pros
- Incredible scaling
- Strong in PvP and PvE
- Excellent endgame value
Cons
- Very low roll chance
S Tier – The Necromancer
Rarity: Rare (9%)
The surprise winner among non-Legendary Schrifs.
Necromancer has become one of the most talked-about Quincy abilities because of its utility and ability to control engagements.
Pros
- Strong utility
- Excellent value for a Rare
- Great in group combat
A Tier – The Heat
Rarity: Rare (9%)
Heat delivers strong offensive pressure and straightforward gameplay.
This is often the Schrift recommended to newer Quincy players.
B Tier – The Dimensional
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Dimensional offers unique mechanics and mobility.
While not as dominant as Heat or Necromancer, it remains very usable.
C Tier – The Thunderbolt
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Thunderbolt can be effective but generally lacks the impact of higher-ranked options.
D Tier – The Blademaster
Rarity: Common (60%)
Blademaster is decent early on but struggles to compete against stronger Quincy abilities.
Soul Reaper Element Tier List
S Tier – Senbonzakura
Rarity: Legendary (1%)
If you’re rolling Soul Reaper Elements, this is the jackpot.
Senbonzakura offers some of the strongest offensive pressure in the game and scales exceptionally well into Shikai and future Bankai progression.
Pros
- Excellent PvP pressure
- Strong area control
- High damage potential
- Fantastic endgame scaling
Cons
- Very rare
A Tier – Flame
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Flame is probably the best value Element among Soul Reapers.
Considering its 30% roll chance, it performs far above what most players expect.
Pros
- Reliable damage
- Easy to use
- Strong progression Element
A Tier – Ink
Rarity: Rare (9%)
Ink provides strong utility and unique combat options.
Many experienced players place it just below Senbonzakura.
B Tier – Waypoint
Rarity: Rare (9%)
Waypoint focuses more on utility and positioning than raw damage.
C Tier – Ice
Rarity: Uncommon (30%)
Ice provides decent control but currently lacks the offensive pressure needed to compete with Flame or Ink.
D Tier – Reversal
Rarity: Common (60%)
Reversal works for early progression but is generally considered one of the first Elements players reroll.
Best Element for Each Race
Best Arrancar Element
Los Lobos
Best overall scaling, strongest endgame potential, and arguably the strongest Arrancar option currently available.
Best Quincy Schrift
The Superstar
The strongest Quincy ability in the game right now and the ultimate reroll target.
Best Soul Reaper Element
Senbonzakura
Excellent pressure, damage, and future scaling make it the top Soul Reaper choice.
Elements Worth Keeping
If you’re low on rerolls, I would immediately keep:
Arrancar
- Los Lobos
- Shark
- Fury
Quincy
- The Superstar
- The Necromancer
- The Heat
Soul Reaper
- Senbonzakura
- Ink
- Flame
Everything else is playable, but these are the Elements most players will be happy taking into the late game without feeling pressured to reroll immediately.
