Some people fight with their fists; to them, there's nothing more gratifying than pummeling foes left and right. Other people prefer burning their target with fire; perhaps they just just love that smell of napalm in the morning. But why not combine them?: After all, a punch hurts. Fire hurts. A punch on fire is bound to hurt twice as much as either of the two individually. And thus, the art of combining Elemental Powers with close-quarter combat was born. The Elemental punch is a melee attack that has an elemental or energy-based upgrade. These come in quite a few flavors, including but not limited to: Fire is a very common attribute to add to a physical attack. Perhaps this is because of fire's sheer destructive power, or the hot headed nature of most fire users, or maybe just because an aura of flame enveloping a character's fist is just plain cool. Ice-based attacks are also fairly common, due to their tendency to freeze their targets on contact. Attacks of this type are generally encased in some sort of coldness energy rather than actual ice. Although boxing gloves made of ice are rather common. Wind adds an extra bit of force to the punch, allows you to send a hit from far away, or increases the speed of your attacks for Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, or used in conjunction with other common wind style speed enhancement tropes. In some cases, a wind punch can tear the target to shreds. Earth adds mass and defense to the punch. In some cases, the shell can be molded into a more effective weapon such as adding spikes to the fist. Destructive vibrations and streams of sand or crystal shards aren't uncommon. Electricity has the benefit of turning the person's fist into a stun gun. Light-elemental punches have the added benefit of easily indicating the power of the attack. Dark or shadow-elemental punches, naturally, are a common counterpart. These sorts of attacks tend to involve lines being sucked into the glowy part/weapon. A final variation involves channeling Pure Energy or Ki into the attack, which generally has an empowering effect rather than adding an elemental attribute. This is typically indicated, once again, by having the fist glow. Of course, punches are not the only attacks that can be elementally empowered. Elemental kicks are almost as, if not just as, common. Channeling elements into weapons happens quite a bit, if the Flaming Sword and Laser Blade are any indication. And, of course, there's nothing quite like pummeling the enemy with a flying, full-body tackle whilst encased in one's element of choice. This is a tactic that comes naturally to the Magic Knight and the Supernatural Martial Artist, and, understandably, usually requires Full-Contact Magic. In Video Games, this trope is often employed to prevent non-magical fighters from being excluded from Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors. This may be seen as a Yin-Yang Bomb, combining matter with energy. Compare the Trick Arrow, the archer's answer to the elemental punch, and the Elemental Weapon for other similarly enhanced weapons. Super-Trope of Explosive Punch. See also Swiss-Army Appendage, Item Amplifier, and Power Fist. |

Cole Macgrath of inFAMOUS is a firm believer in the electro-punch when he has to get his hands dirty, and also has elemental headbutts thrown into the mix. The pre-order gigawatt blades also have him turn his punches into a single shot lightning dagger that's a One-Hit Kill on everything. As if that's not enough, in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, his evil version receives a flame punch that would down or knock away anyone not blocking. |

Digimon, being a Mons franchise, has countless examples of this. Among the main characters, Flamedramon's Fire Rocket attack involves Flamedramon diving headlong into the enemy while on fire, and Galgomon's Bunny Pummel/Dum-Dum Upper is an uppercut with a currently-firing Arm Cannon, and Leomon's Fist of the Beast King, which creates a lion head made of fire. In terms of non-main characters, there's Frigimon, whose moveset includes the Sub-Zero Ice Punch. | |

Killia of Disgaea 5, as well as King Krichevskoy in Disgaea 4's DLC have unique ice fists. Zed of Disgaea 6 has an electrical punch (which count as Wind for gameplay purposes). | |

In Ranma ½, the Flying Dragon Ascension Blast or Hiryuu Shouten Ha is an uppercut that unleashes a devastating tornado. The Shark Fist blasts a torrent of water (in the shape of a shark, natch). The Flying Dragon Ice Breakthrough or Hiryuu Hyoutoppa, a variant devised by Ranma himself, is a blast of icy wind that can instantly freeze and shatter even foes whose very presence melts rocks into lava. | |

Vivio of Lyrical Nanoha used fists glowing with her magical power in her battle against Nanoha. They're able to shatter Nanoha's Deflector Shields in a few punches like they were nothing. Reinforce also does this at least once, throwing darkness-fists at Nanoha. Not to mention Subaru, who has a combat style centered around firing lasers out of her fists when she punches things. Subaru's special ability 'Vibration Shatter' means that her fists may also be considered a kind of Vibro Weapon. (Although it's worth noting that most Vibro Weapons act as a kind of lightsaber, whereas Subaru's ability is designed to play hell on intricate machines such as drones or cyborgs by dealing internal damage. |

Naruto has several examples of this. Naruto's Rasengan is a palm-thrust amplified by spinning chakra; Sasuke's Chidori is a palm thrust that can slice through its targets due to a blade of electricity; the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist fighting style relies on releasing chakra channeled through physical attacks; Sakura and Tsunade's super-strength may also be considered something like this because it involves focusing chakra and releasing it all at once with one punch/kick/lift. Naruto eventually gets an upgraded form of his Rasengan that uses wind chakra, which ends up something of a subversion, namely in that the hundreds of tiny blades it's made of are also cutting his own hand and it only become truly useful when he finds a way to use it as a ranged weapon, though only in Sage Mode or when utilizing the Nine-Tails' chakra. The Third and Fourth Raikages can cover their entire body in lightning, allowing them to dramatically amplify the power and speed of their attacks. Hinata can punch people with an aura of a lion face on each one of her fists. Gari of the Hidden Stone has an explosion element punch. ÅŒnoki the Third Tsuchikage and Kitsuchi can cover their fists in rock for added damage. Oonoki used it in conjunction with his weight manipulation techniques in order to defeat the Second Mizukage's giant clam. |

Guilty Gear: Sol Badguy, main lead of the series, has two Fire-based punch attacks — holding the Slash button for his Bandit Revolver technique (normally a spinning kick) turns it into Bandit Bringer, causing Sol to leap towards his enemy and slam them into the dirt with a fiery fist. Later games would give him the Fafnir, a lunging punch to the face that can send the enemy flying. | |

This is more true in recent seasons.

Pathfinder inherits Dungeons & Dragons's rules on touch spells, and also adds a series of feats which allow a character to use a specific magical ability after hitting with a punch. The most obvious example of this is the appropriately named Elemental Fist feat from the advanced player's guide, which allows members of any class with sufficient unarmed training (though usually monks, who have a couple of class variants which specialize in this sort of thing) to punch their enemies with fire, cold, electricity or acid. Further fighting style feats allow one to specialize in one of these elements. The Magus class has a class feature that allows them to channel touch spells through physical attacks. Most Magi use weapons for this, but there's nothing stopping you from using it with unarmed strikes. The magic items known as Amulets of Mighty Fists add magical enhancements to the wearer's unarmed attacks, which can include enchantments like Flaming, Frost, Shock or Corrosive. Or all of the above. The alternate magic system detailed in Spheres of Power has this in the form of the destructive blast, especially if it has the destructive touch drawback and one of the blast type talents. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Any spell that requires touching your enemy can be delivered through a punch, though this is harder than just touching them. A number of Prestige Classes also have abilities along these lines, like the enlightened fist (which allows you to convert other spells to touch spells, and cast them without pausing your attacks). In addition, any Spell Blade ability can be applies to unarmed strikes. In the 4e supplement Heroes of the Elemental Chaos, there is a monk subclass that specializes in this trope. Eberron: Warforged can get the Shocking Fist feat, which allows them to charge their fist with electricity. |

Firebenders in Avatar: The Last Airbender have done this on occasion, with a particularly spectacular example in "The Southern Raiders" when two of these collided with each other, causing an explosion. Some Earthbenders have also been seen to surround their fists (or entire bodies) with rock, although it typically seems to be a defensive strategy. |

In Shaman King, one of Horohoro's basic attacks, the Nipopo Punch, involves him creating a large ice statue on his arm with which he can freeze solid almost anything he hits and it would shatter on impact. His strongest attacks involve creating giant ice gauntlets and punching opponents with them. The right gauntlet punches the target and flash freezes them at the same time which causes them to shatter, making this his most powerful attack, and the left gauntlet punches the air, freezing solid and then shattering anything that is in the linear path of the hand even if out of arms reach. | |

Bravely Default has Sword Magic like in Final Fantasy, which can be used to give the effect (Elemental damage, status ailment, or energy drain) of one of most Black Mage spells to any weapon, truest to this trope being Knuckles.note The only one it can't use is Kill. Instead, it uses the White Mage's Holy spell. The sequel has the Hawkeye's Warhead ability, which is limited to elemental enhancements, but can be used with all of the game's seven elements.note Wind-element spells are White Magic, while Earth-element spells are Time Magic, which aren't used with Sword Magic. | |

The Rider Punch and Rider Kick in the Kamen Rider series. This is more true in recent seasons. Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Stronger's are lightning kicks, Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Hibiki had fire kicks, Kamen Rider Double has recently patented a wind based kick (appropriately a corkscrew kick), and Kamen Rider G had a water/wine based kick (again a corkscrew). Shadowmoon, Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Kabuto, and both Kamen Rider BLACK and Kamen Rider BLACK RX had energy based kicks. All the others are mainly physical in nature with the exceptions of Ohja and Kamen Rider Agito. In Kamen Rider Double, the Joker memory causes the other memory used to apply to the body, giving wind punches and kicks to Cyclone Joker and fire punches and kicks to Heat Joker. In Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Meteor can use two special punches, Mars (appears to be fire) and Jupiter (appears to be wind). |

Pokémon has Fire, Ice, and Thunder Punches and Fangs, and other moves such as Volt Tackle, Blaze Kick, and Aqua Tail that combine a physical attack with an elemental attribute. It wasn't until Diamond and Pearl that these moves were labeled as physical attacks, though; they were previously treated as special attacks like Thunderbolt and Ice Beam. The move Vacuum Wave is a wind-type variant, projecting a punch of "pure vacuum" at the foe. |

The Sword Magic ability in the Final Fantasy series works like this: Final Fantasy V restricted it to certain swords, but kept it as a constant effect once cast. Final Fantasy IX featured a variation as a Combination Attack between Vivi and Steiner, where the former used his magic imbue the latter's sword with elemental effects; a callback to the Mystic Knight/Sorceror class of previous games. Final Fantasy X-2 had it as an ability of the Warrior dress sphere, but once it was mastered you could use it with any other sphere. The remake of Final Fantasy IV on the DS didn't have a Sword Magic ability, but Cid had Upgrade, which let him expand an attack item to charge his weapon with that element. You could also get an Augment to give this to another character. Final Fantasy XIII has it as an exclusive ability of the Ravager/Blaster role as a single attack. Synergists have an ability that makes it a lingering effect, with the bonus of increasing the effectiveness of the aforementioned attacks. Final Fantasy XIV The Pugilist and it's Monk Class have three flavors of this. Fists of Fire provides a flat damage bonus to their attacks, Earth reduces the damage they take, and Wind gives them enhanced movement speed. In Final Fantasy XVI, this is the protagonist Clive's primary fighting style, as he channels the power of the elemental Eikons through melee combat. The Final Fantasy Tactics Advance series has the Gladiator class. |

Natsu from Fairy Tail consistently uses fire-punches and kicks. Wonderful when he runs into a character that can negate magic in a bubble around him. So what does Natsu do? A fire jet off his elbow.

In Son of the Sannin, Hinata begins developing a lightning version of the Gentle Fist after hearing about Naruto undergoing elemental ninjutsu training since she isn't very good at the regular version and feels that it'd be nice to have something to fall back on. Not only does this become a standardized part of her moveset well into her teenage years, it is also the first sign of her willingness to go against her clan's traditions (which is a major part of her character arc). Her little sister Hanabi in turn learns how to do this with fire chakra, as does their mother Hikari with water chakra by the time of the Fourth Ninja War. | |

Early in Pokémon: The Series, most physical attacks simply were physical attacks: Wing Attack was just a bird clobbering the enemy with its wing, Quick Attack was just a really fast dash attack, Horn Attack just meant ramming the opponent with a horn, and so forth. It appears that as the anime progressed, the animators grew more and more attached to the Power Glows concept. Now, virtually every melee attack stronger than Tackle involves making the colliding part of the attacker's body glow. | |

The Torchlight Alchemist has the Ember Shock spell. Fully leveled, it does (assuming no memory flaws or patches leading to this information being outdated) the highest amount of single-attack damage in the game and substantially damages anyone close enough to get hit by the shockwave, in addition to stunning your target and everything near you. Even though it's lightning-element, it's strong enough that you can typically kill lightning-resistant enemies with it through the sheer quantity of the damage. | |

In the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero games, Zero gets the ability to add elemental powers to his blade. Most of the Mega Man Battle Network featured four elementally-attributed sword chips: Fire Sword, Aqua Sword, Elec Sword, and Wood Sword. In some of the games, the swords can be combined into the Element Sword program advance, which uses all four in quick succession. |

Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger: After Jaune unlocks the ability to use Force lightning, he finds a creative application for it by charging the lightning around his fists to electrify his punches. Darth Nihilus also learns how to do this from copying Jaune and primarily uses it as a sucker punch for when his opponents have their guard down. | |

In it's sequel,The Legend of Korra, Tahno does a waterbending uppercut, though he fails to connect. The Equalists and Asami use "taser-gloves" to deliver electrified punches. Korra uses Airbending like this, as it is the most she can do until she gets more training. That said, she does beat Amon with it. |

GURPS has huge number of ways to perform this kind of attack, including: The Basic Set has Innate attacks, when limited to touch range only, can be a touch of elemental power, or if linked to a standard punch or kick become an elemental punch. The Burning/Icy/Lightning Touch spells in GURPS: Magic work like this. Some of the kinds gear in GURPS: Ultratech are basically gloves that channel this kind of attack Imbuments where you can do stuff like light your hands on fire because you're just that good. |

ARMS: There are a total of eight different elemental attributes ARMS can have, each of which grants a different effect to fully charged punches. Fire does extra damage and knocks opponents down, Electric temporarily disables your target's ARMS, Wind blows opponents a short distance away, Stun briefly renders opponents unable to move, Explosion detonates upon impact, Ice temporarily slows opponents' movement, Blind obscures your opponent's screen, and Poison inflicts lingering damage over time. | |

Batman: Arkham Origins has the Electrocutioner, whose main attack is punching with his electrified gloves. After you defeat him in one hit, you acquire them as well. They're charged up by striking enemies with normal hits, and when activated they do increased damage and ignore the defenses of stun-gun and shield-bearing mooks. | |

Street Fighter: M. Bison can make his hands glow with his "Psycho Power". In later games, this actually burns. Ken's flaming Dragon Punch fits the mold, the first obvious proof of his Divergent Character Evolution. In Street Fighter II, Chun Li's fist would glow during her standing Fierce Punch. Street Fighter IV: Crimson Viper has both Thunder Knuckle and Burning Kick, both abilities coming from special gloves and boots respectively. In Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, if Evil Ryu can land the full brunt of his second Ultra combo, he charges his fist with a dark energy then uses it to smash his opponent's face into the ground. |

Firestorm, Thunderbolt and Diamond Dust are available to all three of the main characters, but Ven gets Cyclone and Wingblade while Terra gets Rockbreaker and Dark Impulse. Aqua gets more generalized magical abilities like Ghost Drive and Spellweaver.

Jin from YuYu Hakusho has this as his signature technique. His Tornado Fist wraps a mini twister around his arm, and even if his fist doesn't connect, the wind still blows his opponent off their feet. Seiryu, one of the four Saint Beasts, freezes opponents on contact with his fist, as well as projecting frozen energy with each punch. |

City of Heroes had several element-based powersets. For melee classes, this included sets with ice, energy, stone, dark, or electric punches. (Fire Melee existed, but it used melee-range fire bursts and flaming sword attacks rather than punches) The final Beta client also revealed a Radiation Melee set (involving lots of radioactive punches, though it was placeholder animation and the final version may or may not have used punches) was in the works. | |
