# Gloves & Damage Types ## Glove damages Your gloves determine your damage type. 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.

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
