What type of damage does "explode" do?

I'm referring to things like the exploding red Merveil squid / exploding strongboxes / Detonate Dead, etc.

What "element" is the explode damage?

Those cases are all fire.

Thanks!

The only explosions I know of that are not fire-based are Volatile Stormblood and Volatile Iceblood. As far as I know, no other physical/cold/lightning/chaos damage source is in the form of an "explosion".

It depends. Those are never really called explosion though. I think some of Toras corrupted beasts have a chaos-explosion on death, not sure if there are projectiles that cause a partial physical explosion on impact.

Actually Detonate dead had a partial Physical part, which became fire this patch if I'm not mistaken.
