Guide

The arena is surrounded by a dangerous AoE that will inflict Electrocution icon1.png electrocution to anyone who stands in it. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will either inflict a stack of Vulnerability Up icon1.png Vulnerability Up or Sustained damage icon1.png Sustained Damage, along with possibly other effects.

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Sweet Poison: Honey B. Lovely

  • Call Me Honey: Raid-wide magical damage.
  • Tempting Twist: Summons rotating spear indicators around the boss, indicating a late telegraphed donut AoE.
  • Honey Beeline: Summons rotating spear indicators over the boss where she is facing, indicating a late telegraphed line AoE, leaving her flanks safe.
  • Honeyed Breeze: Narrow conal tankbusters hitting both tanks. Deals physical damage.
  • Honey B. Live: Raid-wide magical damage and transitions the arena. All players will receive an overhead heart gauge. Being hit by mechanics will cause the gauge to increase by one. If it reaches three, the player will be charmed for several seconds, making them vulnerable to AoEs, likely resulting in death.
    • (1 stack) Infatuated icon1.png Infatuated: You are growing infatuated with Honey B. Lovely... Deals light damage over time.
    • (2 stacks) Head over heels icon1.png Head Over Heels: You are head over heels Honey B. Lovely... Deals moderate damage over time.
    • (3 stacks) Hopeless devotion icon1.png Hopeless Devotion: You are powerless against your undying affection for Honey B. Lovely.... Deals heavy damage over time and will stun the player for 5 seconds with Fatal attraction icon1.png Fatal Attraction.
  • Love Me Tender: Spread marker on each player dealing magical damage (Heartsore) and increasing the heart gauge by one. Being hit by multiple AoEs will cause it to increase by how many AoEs the player was hit by.
  • Four towers spawn which should be soaked by one player each, dealing magical damage (Fracture) and increasing the heart gauge by one. Failing to soak a tower will cause it to explode and give everyone one heart.
    • Later usages of this ability include additional towers to soak.
  • Loveseeker: Telegraphed point-blank AoE that will increase the heart gauge by one.
  • Love Me Tender: Spawns numerous hearts under the boss that will travel outward, heart at the edge that will travel inward, and a significant number of sequential circle AoE telegraphs of various sizes. Being hit by any of these will increase the heart gauge by one.
  • Blow Kiss: Diffusely telegraphed wide frontal conal AoE that has a late orange ground telegraph. Being hit will increase the heart gauge by one.
  • Love Me Tender: Now spawns nine sequential circle AoEs that cover the arena, rotating around the outside, plus one in the center. Move into the first AoE telegraph after it goes off.
  • Honey B. Finale: Raid-wide magical damage and reverts the arena. Also removes the heart gauge.
  • Splash of Venom: The boss receives a buff, enhancing its next attack: Honey B. Lovely coats her stinger with poison.
  • Honey Beeline: Same line attack as before, but now spawns a number of yellow poison globs throughout the arena after the attack goes off, which will explode as late telegraphed circle AoEs. All players will also receive a spread AoE marker (Splash of Venom) dealing magical damage and inflicting Poison resistance down II icon2.png Poison Resistance Down II, making overlap lethal. The spread AoE goes off several seconds after the poison globs explode, permitting time to reposition and spread after dodging them.
  • Drop of Venom: The boss receives a buff, enhancing its next attack.
  • Tempting Twist: Same donut attack as before, but now also spawns the exploding yellow poison globs after the attack goes off. One random player will also receive stack marker (Drop of Venom) dealing magical damage and inflicting Poison resistance down II icon2.png Poison Resistance Down II. The stack marker goes off several seconds after the poison globs explode, giving time for players to return to the center for the stack.
  • Alarm Pheromones: A swarm of groupbees are attracted by Honey B. Lovely's pheromones... Sequentially spawns untargetable Groupbee adds outside of the arena, which receive green arrow indicators, denoting late telegraphed line AoEs (Blinding Love) through the middle. Anyone hit by these will take damage and be knocked back.
  • Afterwards, several Groupbees outside of a quadrant will be tethered, causing both that quadrant and the one opposite it to be hit, leaving the two adjacent quadrants safe.
  • Honey B. Live is used again, giving each player a heart gauge.
  • Love Me Tender: Two random players receive a stack marker (Heartsies) dealing magical damage and inflicting Magic vulnerability up icon1.png Magic Vulnerability Up. The party should attempt to split the stacks evenly, taking the stack with fewer than four players will cause random player(s) in the stack to receive an extra heart. The remaining mechanics are similar to the first Honey B. Live phase. Unlike the Savage version, overlapping these stacks will deal lethal damage.
  • After this phase ends, Alarm Pheromones is used again, but the groupbees will will spawn in random locations around the arena edge, and their lines telegraphs will not go directly through the center, making dodging more chaotic.
  • Mechanics repeat until the boss is defeated.
