Elemental specials on weapons

Hi hi! Whenever I've used a weapon with an elemental special attack, the special attack did less damage than a charged attack.
I'm not very familiar with damage equations, but are there any situations where those special attacks are worth?
 
The short answer is all of the elemental special attacks suck in this game and should be avoided at all costs.
 
The only situation where an elemental special is "useful" is a hit Rage de Feu against 3rd form Falz, since tech damage hits through the invincibility. I had a 35h one that was fine for that use. Way off meta, though. I just like niche situational weps.
 
Shoulda been a FO only thing based on MST tbh. Is what it is though, vanillurz. I always thought it was a missed opportunity.

You gave me an idea... what about dark gunners and their invincibility? It should work too.

It's a real shame. I agree that it's a wasted resource, and it would have been nice if it had been put to some use.
 
Dark Gunners you should paralyze or freeze, then do physical damage to, don't bother with elemental specials against them. But I'm just a silly lil RAcl and I consistently play off-meta, but I think I'm right about this.
 
It's not even good for that... :(

Getting a bit off-topic, I'd like to ask for your personal opinion, which has nothing to do with the game's current state or future. Would you like to see a rework/tweaking of things like these that are completely useless?

Personally, when I come across elements like this, I try to find off-meta niches where they can be useful. But if they have really no use, I think they deserve some love so they don't just exist and do nothing.
On the other hand, I want to say that although I don't share it, I also understand the point of view of those who want the game to be as faithful as possible to the original version.
 
Elemental weapons exist imo only to advantage players in N-VH. They are replaced by weapons that cast spells as special in U (HildeCane, Mercurius, MagicalPiece, Elysion etc.). These can do some damage with the proper merge equipped, and it's TP free!
P.S. some of them are useless too, but they are fun to use
