Basic gloves do physical damage while our more rare special gloves do elemental damage. But don't worry if you don't get elemental damage gloves as you NFT can roll a skill to reduce elemental damage. More on that in the [Passive Abilities ](/the-game/game-mechanics/passive-abilities.md)section. ### Physical vs Elemental Damages Physical damage in general does more damage up front but less damage vs Elemental if you take into consideration the DoT (Damage over Time). Bloody and Honey gloves do regular physical damage however they add a small utility. Elemental damages do less damage initially but more if you calculate their DoT.

Name	Damage Type	Effect
Rotten Stench Gloves	Elemental (Poison)	Deals poison damage over time
Magma Gloves	Elemental (Fire)	Deals burn damage over time
Frozen Heart Gloves	Elemental (Ice)	Has a chance to freeze enemies for a short period
Shock Therapy Gloves	Elemental (Lightning)	Has a chance to stun enemies
Bloody Hell Gloves	Physical	Bleed damage over time
Honey Badger Gloves	Physical	Slows enemy in honey
Regular Gloves	Physical	Burst damage, but less than overall DoT damages

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://wiki.boxingbadger.com/the-game/game-mechanics/gloves-and-damage-types.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
