Status Ailments: Difference between revisions

'''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''' 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.

'''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 that 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]] can also inflict this condition, as well as getting hit from the [[Shelbo]]'s close-ranged spinning shell attack or a [[Toxiecap]]'s spores. 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.

'''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.

'''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.
