Dodge against the fireballs so that each 3d-3 fireball costs the elemental 3 fatigue and (assuming no range penalty) hits on a (13-1)/4d or 33.56% for an average of around 6 hits. As the elemental gets six shots it should just win that encounter. (Shield Expertise is the fighter's talent and needs to be taken a lot more often.)
