Acid Arrow is Elite?

[DrSnooze]

I was playing Seoni in a game yesterday, and I acquired the Acid Arrow spell during the scenario. This is an "Elite" card, so I was excited to acquire it, but it turns out the effect is nearly identical to Force Missile and Lightning Grasp, which are both Basic cards. Same amount of damage, same recharge, except it's Acid damage instead of Force or Lightning. Is this really an Elite upgrade?

My guess would be there's fewer monsters resistant to acid than force or lightning.

And if a troll gets introduced I am guessing he will not be defeated by anything other then acid and fire.

You said this, and all I could imagine was River Song saying "spoilers!"
