Power Effect

A Power Effect (elemental power) refers to the many different ways in which weapon-based Copy Abilities can be enchanted in Kirby Star Allies.

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 star for a few seconds or the wielder defeated (not just fainted).

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.

The following table lists every known source for each effect, as well as the general characteristics of the element in question:

• Bomb (Poppy Bros. Jr.)
• Cutter (Sir Kibble)
• Hammer (Bonkers, King Dedede)
• Marx
• Ninja (Bio Spark)

Friend Star / Star Allies Sparkler

	Notice: Stop right there, stubby little pink thing!
	Spoilers abound! If you do not wish to read them, skip ahead to the next heading or find a different article.

The Friend Star and the Star Allies Sparkler fire elemental bullets based on the rider and indicated by the icon's colTemplate:Our on the dashboard. Besides the five elements aforementioned, some abilities/allies have their own variants:

• Blizzard: Ice, Daroach
• Bluster: Wing, Cleaning
• Sizzle: Fire, Rick & Kine & Coo
• Splash: Water, Gooey
• Zap: Beam, Plasma, ESP
• Cut: Sword, Cutter, Ninja, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, Dark Meta Knight
• Pound: Stone, Hammer, King Dedede
• Bomb: Bomb
• None: Normal Kirby, Whip, Yo-Yo, Staff, Fighter, Suplex, Beetle, Spider, Parasol, Artist, Cook, Crash, Festival, Mike, Marx, Adeleine & Ribbon

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

In the final battle, Void Termina's elemental effects during his Demon God Form (Phase 1) and Angel Form (Phase 3) can be negated by the respective weakness bullets from the Star Allies Sparkler, e.g. Void Termina's Blizzard Sword icicles can be destroyed by Sizzle bullets.

Trivia

• These combinations are similar to the various Ability Scroll elemental combos which Kirby could perform in Kirby: Squeak Squad, but are much broader in scope.
• 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.
• Paint-based attacks from Artist/Adeleine & Ribbon have similar properties to the Splash effect (super effective on fire and electric) but do not grant Splash.
• Stone has some Friend Abilities that grant it 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 & Ribbon covers the stone sculpture with paint.
• As of Version 3.0.0, Rick & Kine & Coo and Daroach can provide Kirby and other Friends the most elemental powers.
  • Rick & Kine & Coo can provide Bluster, Sizzle and Splash. While Kine has Kine Freeze and Ice Kine, they can only be used underwater, which cannot provide the Blizzard element in actual gameplay.
  • Daroach can provide Blizzard, Sizzle and Zap.
