Guys please input which elemental dmg is best against high level monster? Lv250-280
I copy this from other post
Using Tosbase’s monsters database, I ranked the elements from most to least useful*, according to the sheer number of monsters.
[190] Holy (+100% damage against 190 Dark monsters.)
[23] Ice (+50% damage against 87 Fire monsters, but -50% damage against 64 Ice monsters.)
[6] Dark (+100% damage against 6 Holy monsters.)
[-23] Fire (+50% damage against 64 Ice monsters, but -50% damage against 87 Fire monsters.)
[-52] Poison (+50% damage against 108 Earth monsters, but -50% damage against 160 Poison monsters.)
[-72] Earth (+50% damage against 88 Lightning Monsters, but -50% damage against 160 Poison monsters.)
[-132] Lightning (+100% damage against 64 Ice monsters, but -50% damage against 108 Earth and 88 Lightning monsters.)
As you can see, Holy is by far the most useful element, with a massive damage bonus (+100%) against the most popular monster element, Dark (190 monsters), and no monster resistant to it.
Ice is second, with 23 more monsters that are weak than resistant to it.
While Dark only has 6 monsters that are weak against, the fact that no monster is resistant to it places it in third position.
Fire is fourth, with a negative rating (meaning there is more monsters resistant than weak to it). Theoretically, if your character had only access to 1 element, you’d be better off using Dark than Fire.
Poison in fifth position, with 52 more monsters resistant than weak to it.
Earth is second to last, with 72 more monsters resistant than weak to it.
Lightning is last, with 132 more monsters resistant than weak to it. On the other hand, it does +100% damage (instead of the usual +50%) against monsters that are weak to it.
*Note that this ranking is purely theoretical, it doesn’t express how useful the elements will really be in-game, as it will depend on the meta (popular grinding/farming/end game spots, special debuffs and skill attributes etc).
