There's no quantum mechanics or advanced physics involved in the elemental system at all. The damage calculations are actually pretty straightforward, with elements like fire and ice doing bonus damage based on simple math. When you see an elemental value of 200 on your weapon that's actually just 20 true damage since the display numbers are inflated by design. Everything works through basic multipliers, monster weaknesses and your weapon sharpness level

The elemental stuff becomes more interesting when you factor in critical element skills and monster hitzones, but it's still just standard rpg mechanics at work. Faster weapons like dual blades tend to be better for elemental builds since they land more hits. There's no hidden quantum formulas or anything complicated going on behind the scenes, just good old-fashioned damage calculations that the community has thoroughly tested and documented

Pro hunters know it's mostly about matching the right element to a monster's weakness and maintaining good sharpness. The rest is just basic math working in the background while you focus on the hunt
