# Forum:Air elemental damage

What is the average damage per turn of an air elementals debris attack?  The wiki page just mentions the 1d10 engulf damage, but doesn't discuss the debris damage, which is far worse.
Also, how do I understand the speed factors in nethack.  The Air Elemental is very fast with 36, but how many attacks does that translate to in the game?
