The Admiral

The Admiral is a unique.

Mechanics and Interactions
All fire, cold and lightning damage from hits will use the lowest of all 3 elemental resistances on the monster for damage calculations. The damage type does not change.

The admiral opens up multiple options for damage scaling from hits with multiple elemental damage types. (These examples may not include all possibilities)
 * Option 1 - Focus lowering one single resistance of your choice. It is generally easier and more powerful to lower 1 enemy resistance. Most enemies have the same base elemental resistances and therefore option 1 will do more damage against more enemies than option 2.
 * Option 2 - Focus on lowering all of the monsters elemental resistances. Some enemies like devourers, have base resistances of 75% cold and 0% all other elemental resists. Due to the high variance in resistances (75% or higher), monsters like these would almost always take more damage from option 2.

Interactions
When using Elemental Equilibrium, all damage types must be different from the resistance type you are lowering to lower enemy resistance further. Therefore a maximum of 2 damage types can benefit from Elemental Equilibrium, without needing to switch between damage types.

The type of resistance penetration you use should match the resistance you target, not the damage types you deal. For example, if you're dealing cold and/or lightning damage and lowering fire resistance, you want fire penetration, not cold or lightning penetration. Generic elemental penetration works equally well.
