Re: Ouryu
You need a lot of resistance to reduce elemental damage from HNMs like Tiamat since Tiamat is level 90++(varies).

With that said, I'm fairly sure Ouryu in the mission BC is much lower level, and will require less elemental resistance. I've fought him several times in both the mission and in the uncapped Ouryu Cometh BC and in both cases earth resistance was very useful against his elemental attacks.

I can confirm that his normal attack while flying is elemental - earth resistance will help you against it. In addition, he casts earth spells unless Silenced in both flying and non-flying forms.

What earth resistance won't save you from, though, is Ochre Blast, one of his AoE WS that he can use when flying. I'm fairly certain that attack is Fire based (similar to Tiamat's Inferno Blast).
