I'm always interested in what people use in their tracks, so here's what I used
A load of impact and riser type samples - stuff I've collected over years from mostly magazines, also a couple of risers from Rise & Hit.
Drums/percussion - Damage & Action Strikes
All synths except a couple were from Komplete - Pharlight, Action Strings, Hybrid Keys, Factory Selection, then I've got an organ from Omnisphere 2, a lead from Super 8, couple of pads from Massive X and an arp from Oddity 2. 23 tracks in all.

Every VSTi on my track was from Native Instruments. I usually start with a preset then tweak it to suit.
Like @Snap I used NI Damage for the drums, based on the 'LPS Epic Tech Full' Preset.
Also, like @Snap I used NI Pharlight. There are two instances of Pharlight. One was based on the 'Shark Tank' preset and the other based on 'Dots'. It was a bit of a struggle for my PC as Pharlight is very CPU intensive.
Other NI VSTi's are listed below together with the preset the sound was based on.
NI Arkhis - based on 'Floating Orchestra' preset
NI Evolve - based on the Strings & Transitions 'Tritone Screams' preset
NI Brass Ensemble - based on 'Horns Sustain' preset
NI - String Ensemble - based on 'Basses' preset
The only non Native instruments stuff was
Valhalla Room VST (bus reverb) - based on 'Large Room' preset
Ozone 9 VST on the master track - I let it run its AI (Master Assistant) to come up with the mastering then probably tweaked things a bit.
