Is high element a thing againts Fatalis?

[Nershkat]

Time ended soon after I used the dragonator, I was using the Safi dragon SA but raw oriented. Should I use some heavy elemental sets or keep trying with raw? Thanks.

use dragon(3stars, doesnt matter the elderseal level) or fire (2stars), I'd go with dragon and a part breaker jewel, you HAVE to break his horn on the 2nd phase or you'll get one shotted by his fire attacks on the third phase.(and he's harder to clutch on 3rd phase cus he spent most of the time hovering on the arena).

i haven't beaten him tho, 40 hours now on a sleepless night.

Use whatever does the most damage, element on this monster is like every other monster. I usually use Alatreon weapons against him since they're comfy and he's weak to dragon, but you coul just as wel use raging bracky or anything else that does good damage.

It's honestly no different than any other fight. If the weapon you use gains more from raw than elemental then go for high raw. If you deal more elemental damage than raw, go for elemental. I say this because it's possible to Kinsect Only Fatalis, which is pure elemental damage as well as Greatsword him, which is mostly raw damage. Regardless of the weapon you use you should always be using the tools around the zone as well. Cannons, ballista, these things do some massive damage if used correctly.

every blast proc you do on fatty will extend the next proc, so itll take longer for the next proc to happen.

so e.g. : you can proc blast every 5 hits, the next one will be proccing in 7 hits, then 9, and it will continuously adds up till your blast proc are practically not showing anymore because of the heightened threshold.

It still is good extra damage, but how effective it is depends on the weapon type. It's better than say dragon element on something like a GS, but I'd deff choose dragon over blast on the faster hitting weapons.
