Honey (status effect)
Honey is a common status effect in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Characters inflicted with the status cannot move for one turn. It can be cleared by waiting for the next turn or by having an ally perform a team jump on the inflicted character. The effect is also negated if the target is inflicted with Bounce, Push, or Burn.
Mario's and Rabbid Peach's weapons have Honey as a proc. The procs can happen while Mario triggers Hero Sight, so Mario can stop an enemy on their turn with Honey, especially hindering enemies relying on short range and limited movement such as Smashers. Honey can help defeat enemies if the weapon procs them without any cover. Honey procs improve as Mario and Rabbid Peach obtain more powerful weapons, with up to 60% in the main game. Rabbid Peach's weapons proc up to a 100% chance if DLC is counted.
While stopping enemy turns is a valid strategy, Honey's effects may have conflicting synergy with Hero Sight, compared to Bounce (another status effect Mario has access to), Push (another status effect Rabbid Peach has access to), and Burn, which relies on enemy movement to activate. Players should make sure Hero Sight is not wasted because they proc an enemy with Honey before the enemy can move.
Honey is one of the four status effects that deactivate certain abilities, with the other three being Ink, Freeze, and Stone.
In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Honey does not return although Frostbite functions identically.
