A '''Power Effect''' ('''elemental power''') refers to the many different ways in which weapon-based [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] can be enchanted in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. These effects are similar to the various [[Ability Scroll]] elemental combos which [[Kirby]] could perform in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad|{{KSS KMA}}]]'', but are much broader in scope.

A '''Power Effect'''<ref>''"You can add fire, ice, electricity, and other '''power effects''' to a weapon."'' <small>--In-game tip from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''</small></ref> refers to the many different ways in which weapon-based [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] can be enchanted in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

==Elements and Sources==
==Elements and sources==
There are five different types of effects which can be applied: '''Blizzard''', '''Bluster''', '''Sizzle''', '''Splash''', and '''Zap'''. These elements are applied by having the ally wielding the weapon hold it up, then having the element-wielding ally use an elemental attack on the weapon to power it up. This effect then remains on the weapon indefinitely, only being lost if the ability is discarded and left to bounce as a [[Ability Star|star]] for a few seconds or the wielder defeated (not just fainted). Tossing a [[Friend Heart]] at an elemental Ability Star before the element disappears will create the respective [[helper|Friend]] with that element.

Applying an effect to a weapon allows the user to perform more elaborate attacks, and often adds special properties in addition to raising the damage dealt by 25%. One example is Bluster [[Bomb]], which allows the user to float up into the air while holding the bomb in hand.

[[Stone]] has some [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]] that grant it temporary elemental powers, albeit not a weapon-based ability. The [[Curling]] Friend Abilities have their respective element, [[Geokinesis]] with [[ESP]] grants it the Zap effect, and [[Rock Painter]] with [[Artist]]/[[Adeleine#Kirby Star Allies|Adeleine & Ribbon]] covers the stone sculpture with paint.

Weapon wielders will still fire their default bullets even with an element granted beforehand. Elemental shots are slightly more powerful than no-element/"plain" shots.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', the [[Hammer]] ability's [[Hammer Flip]] has lost its fire element from previous games, possibly due to similarities with Sizzle Hammer as well as the purpose of receiving different elemental powers. The [[Bomb]] ability has already lost its fire element since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', thus able to become Sizzle Bomb.
*In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', the [[Hammer]] ability's [[Hammer Flip]] lost its fire element from previous games, presumably since it would be redundant with Sizzle Hammer.
*[[The Three Mage-Sisters]] and [[Rick]] & [[Kine]] & [[Coo]] can provide all elemental powers except for one (the Mage-Sisters can't provide Bluster and Rick & Kine & Coo can't provide Zap), being the allies that can provide the most elements.
*The [[Bomb]] ability no longer has a fire effect as of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', so Sizzle Bomb is new to the series ([[Thunder Bomb]] and [[Ice Bomb]] had previously appeared in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'').
*If a [[Bomb]] or [[Cutter]] user or [[Marx]] has no element imbued and their projectile meets an ally's elemental attack, that projectile will turn elemental but the user still won't receive the element in this way.
*The allies that have the most elements are [[Animal Friend#Rick & Kine & Coo|Rick & Kine & Coo]] and [[The Three Mage-Sisters]], with four out of five each; Rick & Kine & Coo can't provide Zap, while the Three Mage-Sisters can't provide Bluster.
*The element of Friend Star / Star Allies Sparkler is mostly based on that of the rider's default attack.
**Of the four elements Rick & Kine & Coo can provide, however, Blizzard can be given to allies only when on the surface of water.
*If a projectile from [[Cutter]], [[Bomb]], or [[Marx]] makes contact with an elemental attack, that projectile will gain the elemental properties, but the user won't receive the element in this way.
