Bending Grounds Tier List Hub

This hub is the map for every ranking page on the wiki. It is a community BETA ranking, not an official CSL Studios ladder, and it will move after Air, Plant, and Hama patches. Bending Grounds is a public beta elemental battleground on Roblox (place 103745056080809). Matches run in 18-player servers on mobile, console, and PC. That crowd is why we rank space, structure, and conversion — not a fantasy 1v1 lab.

Read the element tier list for the five playable styles, then the sub-bending tier list for Plant, Blood, Sand, Lightning, Sun Warrior, Mist, and Spiritual Projection. Pair both with the Players hub so you know how a kit actually feels, not just where a letter sits.

How we rank in the public beta

We score kits the way an 18-player lobby punishes you:

• Combo density — how many hits you can string before the opponent dashes or walls.
• Structure — ice, earth walls, and other tools that steal space.
• Pressure that survives answers — Fire Blast is strong until another fire deflects it or an earth wall eats it.
• Mobility — acrobatic dashes and special runs that leave a bad string.
• Access — spins, quests, and whether the kit is paywalled.

We do not invent damage tables. Showcase facts such as a 15% burn or a ragdoll stay facts; they are not a stat sheet.

Snapshot (community BETA)

S — Water. Highest conversion. The water combos string (four punches, Water Geyser, four punches, Ice Breaker, camera rotate, Aqua Burst, four punches) is why. Ice and geyser also steal space. Hama opens Blood for a harder ceiling.

A — Fire and Earth. Fire Blast is the default projectile: other fire can deflect it, earth walls block it, it can apply a 15% burn, and a dash clears that burn. Flame Kick breaks earth or ice, ragdolls, and can stuff rock kick or ice spikes. Earth is the other side of that coin — walls that delete projectiles, sand as a zone path, and space control.

B — Air. Air Funnel ragdolls people who stand in it, but it is blockable. Acrobatic dash is the real identity. Air wins by living, not by matching Water’s geyser math.

B/C — Chi Blockers. Unique running plus an acrobatic dash, not behind a paywall, weaker raw elemental damage, high skill ceiling. Ranking up adds master moves. In a projectile lobby this lane feels like C. In a sloppy melee lobby it plays above the letter.

How to use the two lists together

The element list answers what to main. The sub-bending list answers what to spend spins on. Plant is new enough that WeGotPlant pays 6 Current Slot Spins. Blood is gated by Hama. Sand, Lightning, Sun Warrior, Mist, and Spiritual Projection change feel; they do not auto-outrank the base kit.

Redeem codes with how to redeem before you dump starter spins. Plan rerolls on the spin planner and spins. After a shutdown, skim updates, beta, and Air / Plant. New accounts still need Getting Started, controls, and how to play before they treat S as a shopping list.

Treat this hub as a map, not a commandment. If your lobby is full of Earth walls, Fire climbs. If three Waters are chaining Ice Breaker, learn the water combo lab before you reroll. Rankings here are a community BETA snapshot for Bending Grounds on Roblox; they will move the next time CSL Studios ships Air, Plant, or a Hama change.
