Best all around element?

[Cero]

Cuz I found some guys who told me that it is Ice and Thunder, cuz most monsters are vulnuerable to them

[Angel]

lightning and dragon

[warrickbartley]

Believe it is in fact Thunder, as it covers the most monsters

[Ragosta tin Dei]

Blast and Poison.

[Stationary Traveller]

The one the monster you're fighting is weak against.
If you are too lazy to switch weapons, go raw instead. And if you're playing DB or bow, just switch class entirely.

Blast. Everything Is weak to EXPLOOSIONS!!@@

most monsters are weak to lighting but regardless youll need to build all of them and then prepare individual builds for each element.

[tag545]

best all around element is raw damage. if you dont want to play the element game then building for raw damage is the answer.

[打工人]

No best element,but there are most suitable elements against different monsters.In common,the thunder and high critical weapons have better sharpen and attack in the early stage.But in the middle,Nergigant's weapons have many advantages in sharpen and attack,instead of poor dragon element.So you could just use them as a non-element weapon against those not weak of dragon element.

He asked for best, these are the worst because they work off of the status mechanic which requires more buildup for each successive proc.

Raw damage is best for most weapons, for dual blades and bows you want to match weaknesses. Unfortunately there's no real "best" element for these, all 5 elements are useful in certain endgame hunts. Dragon for Behemoth (front legs), Water for Teostra, Ice for Lunastra, Thunder for Kushala, Fire for Vaal.

Most importantly, blast and poison are ailments, not elements.

thunder and ice for kulve taroth.

also raw is not good for most weapons, its good for about half.
1)ls
2)gs
3)cb
4)hammer
5)sa
rest(excluding bowguns) are still better getting element except gunlance and hunting horn where it hardly matters.

Lance is maybe. SNS can run an element build as well, but only if you DON'T use falling bash.

For all other weapons, Raw is king. That doesn't necessarily mean elementless, some categories use the Deviljho option which is technically dragon. They simply don't care about the element.

HH is Jho/Kulve (elementless), Glaive is Jho or Diablos. Bowguns don't really count as anything, the weapons themselves don't even have elements.

Insect glaive will reach more damage with elemental than with diablos one.
also db and bow i assume you agree.
