Hero Sight
Hero Sight is a Technique in the Mario + Rabbids series. Mario is the Hero who has this Technique, as well as many other characters, with different names for the Technique. It allows characters to attack opponents who are moving within their line of sight, dealing damage to them, as well as causing Super Effects to them.
History[edit]
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]
Hero Sight first appears in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, where Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi have the Technique. It is known as "Steely Stare", "Royal Gaze", and "Egg Beater" for Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi, respectively. The Heroes can upgrade their reaction-based Techniques in the Skill Tree, where upgrades can be purchased to increase the damage, reduce the cooldowns, and to add more attacks. In the Donkey Kong Adventure Downloadable Content, Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky have Techniques known as "Hairy Eye" and "Stink Eye" respectively, which are also reaction-based attacks.
Many enemies also have the Technique, in which it is known as "Villain Sight". Below is a list of enemies that have a form of Villain Sight and the Super Effects they can cause:
- Sherbet Ziggy - No Super Effect
- Spooky Ziggy - Ink
- Lava Ziggy - Bounce
- Blizzy - Freeze
- Icicle Golem - Freeze
- Phantom - Not an attack, but is reaction based and causes Stone
- Bwario - Freeze
- MegaDragonBowser - Burn
- Tropical Ziggy (Donkey Kong Adventure) - Freeze
- Side Eye (Donkey Kong Adventure) - Bounce
- Finn (Donkey Kong Adventure) - Ink
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]
In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Hero Sight returns, and the heroes Mario, Luigi, and Edge have it. The names are still "Hero Sight" and "Steely Stare" for Mario and Luigi, respectively, but Edge's Technique is known as Stormblade, which strikes all enemies around Edge when an enemy moves, even those who do not move. In the Skill Trees, each hero has unique upgrades for their Technique.
For Mario, there are upgrades that increase the damage, reduce the cooldown, add another charge, and an upgrade that allows Mario to gain a bonus charge if an enemy is defeated by the Technique. For Luigi, there are upgrades that increase the damage, reduce the cooldown, add additional charges, and to allow Luigi to shoot through all terrain. For Edge, there are upgrades that increase the damage, increase the range, add an additional charge, and a defensive upgrade that reduces the damage done to Edge by 50% while Stormblade is active. Lone Wolves and the Phantom in his Final Phantom Form have reaction-based attacks, known as "Evil Sight" and "Fright Sight" respectively. The former has no effects, but the latter disables attacks, Techniques, Spark powers and costume abilities upon contact.
