In the above tier list, we ranked each Essence in Divine Duality Elemental based on their overall strength both in PvE and PvP. We took into consideration the overall damage, range, and AoE of their abilities, as well as the CC and Buffs/Debuffs they let you apply to enemies and yourself. For the most part, rare Essences like Time and Spatial are better than the rest in DDE. Still, some amazing ones are easy to obtain, such as Glass, Lightning, and Speed, which are very good even in the late game.
