What does Elemental Damage do in Brotato?
Elemental Damage is the fourth core damage stat. It scales weapons with elemental scaling (Wand, Lightning Shiv, Flamethrower, Snake, Scared Sausage, Shredder…) and – critically – it also scales Burn DoT. Each +1 Elemental Damage adds +1 burn damage per second, which is why builds with Greek Fire, Shredder, or Snake become unstoppable when you stack Elemental Damage. Burning enemies stack additional bonuses too: items like Frozen Heart make burn ticks come faster.
Elemental Damage Mechanics & Edge Cases
- •Each +1 Elemental Damage adds +1 burn damage per second.
- •Mage, Technomage, and Demon get higher shop chance for Elemental items.
- •Burning is required for many secondary effects – Eyes Surgery, Snake spread, Greek Fire % HP burn.
- •If you don't run any elemental weapon or burn item, you can safely dump Elemental Damage into the negative.

Elemental Damage FAQ
Does Elemental Damage scale Burn in Brotato?▾
Yes – each point of Elemental Damage adds +1 burn damage per second. This is the main reason Elemental Damage is so strong on any build that uses Snake, Shredder, Flamethrower, or Greek Fire.
Is Elemental Damage worth stacking on non-elemental builds?▾
No. If you don't have any elemental weapon or burn-applying item, Elemental Damage does nothing – feel free to dump it negative for cheap stat trades.
What is the best Elemental Damage build in Brotato?▾
Mage with Snake + Wand + Greek Fire is the textbook elemental build. Pyromaniac scales burn tick rate to insanity. Demon explodes consumables for burn damage.
Does Eyes Surgery stack with Frozen Heart?▾
Yes – both items stack, making burn ticks even faster. On a Pyromaniac or Mage with both, burn becomes the dominant damage source.
