Are there any physical attacks that deal elemental damage?
I went with a strength build on my Nahabino. Do you ever get any physical attacks that can deal elemental damage or is pushing turns pretty much not a thing with physical unless you crit?

If not by what sort of level can physical compete with magic?

I remember there being medium attacks that were physical with elements attached to them in the base game, I hope they added more. Lots of cool unique Nahobino only skills that are based off of strength later in the game.

Yes, there are physical attacks that can deal their respective elemental damage (fire, elec, ice, wind etc.) You should start seeing them in demons around lv40 and above around the time when you reach the third region.

tons. the main ones are called "Dracostrike" then there's unique abilities, etc... They are quite inferior to actually using phys moves, even a frenzied chomp is better than it in most cases.

Two late game demons(They're bosses) have some great piercing strength based strikes, though one IS just a normal physical. Both are the strongest moves in the vanilla game, not sure how the compare here.

Also, a new Demon in this one whom you have to beat the 'Four Heavenly Kings' to unlock in a side area in the third zone has an Almighty Strength based strike.

If you want to use elemental skills just respect to magic and call it a day (yeah, in vengeance you can reset your stats and you can also get infinite aogami essences). A STR build hits like a truck but it plays different. You buff/debuff, charge yourself, use omatoki: critical and then nuke whatever poor boss you got in front of you.

if you want to push turns with nahobino in the first slot you provably want a 100% crit attack like yabusame shot.

Yes, there are. The first ones are called Dracostrike or something. My Nahabino is STR as well because I remember that in SMT5 Magic rules the early game and STR dominating endgame (and I like that there are debuffs attached to physical attack-skills).
