Electric Damage
Special Name
Damage Rarity
Shock (Lv. - 1)/4 +40 1★
Thunder (Lv. - 1)/3 +60 2★
Storm (Lv. - 1)/2 +80 3★

In theory, if you had a high dex mag with something like...Anti-Android Rifle (Tempest).
If you had low attack power starting out an alt in the next difficulty, would your elemental damage be higher?

I know raw will always be preferred unless you needing Burning for Falz (invincible).
But what I want to know is:
1) is elemental ever considered better in any other situation (I guess maybe other than Pan Arms).
2) Does having any MIND stat vary the damage scale at all (like techs)?
 
1) You’ll probably never find a situation where an elemental special from a weapon is actually good. Occasionally you may kill Falz a few seconds earlier with one of those specials but that’s not fairly common or a big deal. In general weapons with these kinds of specials are not good. If they are good like LK38 it’s not because the special, but rather their raw attacks.
 
Like Ives said its great in c-mode, particularly when you find fo or ra weapons with ele specials and hit.

Burning RdF are carried for falz sometimes for his third form.

Blizzard is actually pretty effective on weapons like RdF/guilty light but unfortunately completely outclassed by FS/SQ and traps.
