Element is a new game mode in Blade Ball that differs from the standard gameplay of Normal Mode. Not only do you have to worry about deflecting the ball, but you also need to watch out for other players who can kill you with elemental moves. Here’s everything you need to know about Element in Blade Ball.

Blade Ball Element Game Mode – How to Play
Upon starting Element mode in Blade Ball, you have the option to choose between Fire or Water. This choice is not that important, but it will lock you out of the opposite element for a while. In this game mode, each player has three health bars, meaning you can get hit three times by the ball before you are eliminated from the game. However, due to characters and element mechanics, things are not that simple.
In Elements, you will begin to level up your character. Each element will start with a basic dash move, but then each element will start to differ in what it can do. Leveling your element to 50 unlocks new skills at levels 10, 20, and 50.
When players reach level 10, they will unlock their first attack move. If you are playing as the Fire element, you’ll lob a fireball in front of you, and if it hits a player, it will damage them. Water gets a wave attack with knockback and disables abilities.
This means that you can attack low-health players with your attack to eliminate them from the game, earning yourself a kill. So not only do you need to watch out for the ball, but you also need to watch out for other players. I killed many players who were just standing still with my Fireball attack and earned myself some easy kills. This is a game mode where you have to pay attention times ten, especially if you are hurt.
