'''Status ailments''' have been introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', although a few have been mentioned in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' as well. These damaging status effects can potentially be inflicted on [[Pit]] himself, helper characters such as [[Magnus]], and even enemies.

==Poison==
'''Poison''' is one of the status ailments in ''Uprising''. When poisoned, the health of the afflicted character will slowly be drained until the condition wears off after a short while. During this time, the character will glow purple with a poisonous haze emanating from their body. The only enemies confirmed to have the ability to poison other characters are [[Shulm]]s and [[Shemum]]s, although they only actually utilize this weapon in ''Uprising''. The [[Phils]] used by [[Collin]] have also been confirmed to inflict this condition, as well as getting hit from the [[Shelbo]]'s close-ranged spinning shell attack. Originally, the manual for ''Kid Icarus ''stated that both Shemums and Shulms had poisonous capabilities, yet they were never used in the game itself. In addition, the [[Viper Blade]] weapon used by Pit possesses the ability to poison enemies that are hit with charged shots.


==Burn==
==Burn==
'''Burn''' is another damaging status effect in the game that is commonly inflicted by fire-based attacks. This defect depletes Pit's health faster than poisoning does, but also wears off faster as well. This stat problem is indicated by a wing symbol on fire by the upper left corner where Pit's HP is. [[Twinbellows]]' flame-engulfed body can burn Pit on contact, and [[Hewdraw]] has a powerful flamethrower attack that may cause this effect when hit. Pit's [[Wolf Claws]], [[Burning Palm]], [[Twinbellows Cannon]], and any other weapon with the "Burning" modifier can also cause burning damage against foes.

==Paralysis==
==Confusion==
'''Paralysis''' can occur when characters are struck with electricity-based attacks. Like other status effects, it is only temporary, although it doesn't deplete health in the same way that poison and burn does. Rather, paralysis will cause the afflicted to become greatly slowed and unable to dodge for a short time as electricity surges through their bodies, leaving them vulnerable to attack. The [[Dynamo Cannon]], [[Halo Club]], [[Electroshock Arm]], and any weapon with the Paralysis modifier can cause this status effect, while [[Reaper|Reapettes]] and [[Porcuspine|Porcuspines]] can occasionally inflict it with their attacks.
'''Confusion''' is a status effect that causes those affected to be temporarily disoriented, scrambling their controls for a short time and making the afflicted move and attack randomly. The [[Cacaw]] and [[Zaurum]] can inflict this condition.
 
==Eggplant==
'''Eggplant''' is the infamous status ailment caused by the [[Eggplant Wizard]], that causes Pit's upper body to be turned into an Eggplant. This prevents the angel from attacking, and is left extremely vulnerable until the curse wears off. There is also a Power known as the [[Powers|Eggplant Attack]] that does the same action towards enemies, but can only be used in Together Mode.


==Freeze==
==Freeze==
'''Freeze''' is an ailment that causes those affected to be frozen solid in place, although for a limited time. The enemies that can potentially cause this status effect are ice-based foes such as the [[Snowman]] and [[Frozum]].  Weapons with Freezing as an additional effect, the [[Powers|Freeze Attack]] power and melee attacks from an [[Aquarius Blade]] can also inflict freeze.

==Stone==
==Paralysis==
'''Stone''' is very similar to the Freeze ailment, although it causes those affected to become encased in stone rather than ice and doubles their defense for the duration of the ailment; in addition, the immobilization effect lasts longer than the Freeze ailment. An item called the [[Medusa Head]] can cause this status effect, as well as Medusa herself in the original ''Kid Icarus''. [[Igniot]] and its cellular version can also cause this status aliment as well if Pit gets hit by its laser attack. The Weapon mod Petrification as well as the [[Power]] [[Petrify Attack]] can cause the effect as well. If Pit is afflicted with this ailment, rapidly mashing buttons can help him recover faster.

==Shaking==
==Shaking==
'''Shaking''' is an ailment that causes the targeting reticule to shake wildly, making it difficult for the afflicted to aim their attacks, and prevents shots from being able to home in on enemies.  A [[Zuree]] can inflict this status ailment on Pit if it hits him with its claws. The [[Bluster]]'s projectiles are capable of inflicting this condition as well, along with Medusa's claw attacks.

'''Spin''' is a status aliment that causes the affected player's screen to turn around uncontrollably, making it harder to aim and fight altogether.  The [[Quoil]], [[Bumbledrop]], [[Powers|Spin Attack]] Power (Together Mode exclusive), and Cyclone Bomb are known to cause this status aliment.

==Tempura==
==Tempura==
'''Tempura''' is very similar to the Eggplant status ailment, which causes the Pit's upper body to be turned into a Tempura. Like the Eggplant ailment, Pit cannot attack when transformed, but he also suffers from greatly decreased stamina, which also decreases the distance he can dash. The [[Tempura Wizard]], who causes this status aliment, will chase Pit until it catches and eats him, which causes instant death. The [[Powers|Tempura Attack]] Power and Tempura Bomb item can also cause this status aliment, but is exclusive to Together Mode.

==Weaken==
==Weaken==
'''Weaken''' is a particularly dangerous status ailment that temporarily reduces Pit's maximum health by half. Skuttler Mages can inflict this condition on Pit with their spells, along with a small number of bosses (such as Thanatos and Amazon Pandora). The [[Great Reaper Palm]] can also inflict this condition, but only in Together mode.
