# Introduction

The stamina gauntlet runes are broken. And we’ll figure out what’s wrong with them

# Buffs

The damage from these runes doesn’t increase in any way. There are damage-increasing enchantments, food, and Rune Ring. None of these affect the damage of these runes. However, it works for everything else:

The damage hasn’t changed. This also works with Damage Surge and food that increases damage.

# Elemental Buffs

These runes change the damage type to elemental but don’t accumulate status effects:

In this screenshot, I used the Cold Enchantment buff; oils can be used. The damage type has changed to ice, but the status effect doesn’t accumulate at all

# Interaction with Frozen Enemies

The damage from these runes is physical, but they don’t break frozen enemies. Any physical damage does, but the damage from these runes doesn’t

When physical damage is dealt, ice should break. This causes a second damage digit to appear. But we don’t see anything of the sort. The enemy is still frozen

# Balance Damage

These runes don’t interrupt attacks of enemies whose attacks are interrupted by any attack (witches and enemies with two pickaxes in Nameless Pass)

 ![i hit the guy but my attack doesn't stagger him](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/6/6aa0b3c4a01928359712e7c2bef19d0cec99b472.jpeg)

They can be interrupted with a bare fist, but not with a powerful spin attack. In the screenshot, I’m trying to interrupt his spin attack, but it doesn’t work
