Umm....I really think you need to actually think about what you are posting....you seem to be posting randomly. The four elements have their positives and negatives. It depends on which one you like.

And the word you are looking for is "What" not "Wath".

Just put some thought into your posts please.

Indeed. There IS no best. For the four elements, you ARE aware that they are in a four-cycle akin to rock-paper-scissors, right? Fire>Wood>Elec>Water>Fire. Thus the cyclicity, and no best element.

We clearly can't judge the best element because there's a Counter for everything. However, we can always say what we feel is best because of our preferences. I, for one, think Elec is the best element, because I like electricity, and it has the tendency to stun things.

For styles, I like Aqua styles(EXE 2 and 3 only) due to their speed. For chips, so far most of my favorites have been Heat elemental(Magnum, BlackBomb, BurnSquare). For Souls, I didn't like Fire Soul so much but Napalm Soul was really nice. For Crosses, I didn't really like any of the elemental ones too much.

IMO, I think Wood is the best because with it, you can use the ever-popular, "invincible combo". Fire is good too, because we ALL know what a pain those Lava Panels can be. :eyes: Laughing

Aqua is good because of it's quick charge, and in MMBN 2, you could perform "Freezer Grade". and Elec is always a strong element bevause you could stun your opponent and free the Beast Out all over him/her!! Laughing

I like fire, I think.
Elec stuns, so it's good :o
Use an elec chip in beast-out and go all over your oppent with a 9 damage buster! (4 atk+1 in navi customizer and an e-card+ that i don't remember his name).
Nope, elec is holy XP

But if your oppent doesn't have any fire/cracking chips and doesn't have a wood elemental style/soul/cross, than you can't loss!@#
:o

I like the fire the best, because it usually has a strong balance of range and power. After that, Aqua has never failed me in battles, so I'd go with that.

I believe it depends on what's more convenient for you. Personally, I love using aqua because I'm used to it(Aqua Soul's pretty much the only one I use ^^ Wink

. Of course, water is also my favourite element, so that may have something to do with it.

When it came to style change in EXE2 and EXE3, I always preferred Aqua. Here's why:

-I find more benefit in using Icestage and not slipping than I do from healing on grass or being able to withstand magma, which doesn't even do that much damage.
-The Bubbleshot charged shot has little start up and recovery as it's a simple blast of water and can strike two opponents at once.
-In EXE2 and 3, Elec doesn't have as much strength in comparison to Heat and Wood so the weakness isn't so bad.
-Heat Style Flamethrowers have too much recovery and only have a range of 3, despite their strength.
-While elec style Rabbiirings can stun, they're not strong and therefore, not worth the charge time.
-Wood style has the powerful Kogarashi, but its range is feeble.

-------------------------------------------------------------

One thing I'd like to add in:

In my personal opinion, I find the GrassStage/Woodypowder/KusamaraSeed + Woodbody + Undershoot combo to be insanely overrated when it's only really useful against dull non-multihit capable AI opponents.

The apparent cons to the combo:

-It does NOT work against multhit. And Multihit chips are very common in folders, especially the Vulcan series, Machine Gun series, Airhockey series, and Forte's chip.
-Like Magma panels, Grass is also easily destroyed unlike Ice or Poison. Any heat attack or panel destruction attack like Crackshoot will work.
-This combo will NOT protect you against the commonly abused Poison Anubis, Poison Seed, or HP Drain glitch caused by Killer Cross or Killer Beast.
-If you are beaten into a situation where you must depend on healing from 1 hp, then you probably don't have the strength to fight back anyways and you're only delaying an inevitable outcome.
-Do you really wanna have to depend on one small hit point? So you managed to survive a fatal hit with 1 HP. Then what are you gonna do?

it depends on the game. say Pokemon. i always pick the water Pokemon at the beginning because it's, like, the best. in EXE, i prefer Wood Styles (because being invincible rules), and whatever Soul i can use (AquaSoul, usually).

i've always loved water styles, because of Squirtle :D . in MMBN2, the two styles i kept was FireGuts b/c of the insane power and AquaCustom i think. when MMBN3 came along though, i switched to Wood styles b/c i liked the charge attack and sand stage with area grabs. also, the grass stage recovery thing was cool too.

I have no favorite element. I usually adapt to whatever element I recieve when it comes to acheiving styles. Like focusing my folder with that element. I've always like Custom and Guts Styles. Never had Saito Style...

Personally, i prefer no element, but if i had to choose.... i'd say wood soul/style. the default twister attack helped me get almost every single V3 Navi chips in EXE2.

I always enjoyed playing as the FireGuts style due to the power it deals.
