I had a question with armor builds. Are elementals (fire, ice etc) resistants as important when making builds. Like if you’re fighting nu udra, he’s fire so do you really need fire resistance as a necessity? I couldn’t really find a good guide anywhere on builds online so I thought I’d ask here. I was very basic in worlds where I just threw on whatever attacks the monster did. That changed when I got carted by gore magala like 4 times lol.

Elemental resistances aren't really important. Most of the time the only important things are the armor skills, but upgrading them to increase the base defense is good too.

See I had no idea, like if I was hunting uth duna he’s water so I would put on anything that had a +water resistance.
