So is this to say that the impact of an all-element drop (-20%) is as strong as that of a single-element boost (+25%)?

E.g. Card with base ATK of 10k

After single-element boost = 125% of 10k = 12.5k

After all-element drop = 80% of 12.5k = 10k

If that's the case, who do people even bother going after single/double-element boosts when an all-element drop brings them back to square one? In this case, they should go after all-element drops themselves, since the %-drop on both sides is the same. In normal battles where 3 skills proc, having even 1 single boost, be in a single, double or all element boost, as well as 2 drops, will disadvantage the player against a 3-drop player of equal strength. This is even more so if the player predicts correctly as uses dual-element drops to counteract your single/double-element deck.

Using the same example.

After dual-element drop (-24%) = 76% of 12.5k = 9500, which is less than what it has initially despite using a single-element boost, which has the greatest boost % of 25%. And if you're using a mono-element deck for maximum % boost from single-element boosts, a dual-element drop has a 66% chance of dropping your element and winning the battle, even if your opponent might be slightly weaker.
