==Phases & Abilities==
The arena is surrounded by a dangerous AoE that will inflict {{status effect|electrocution}} [[electrocution]] to anyone who stands in it. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will either inflict a stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} '''[[Vulnerability Up]]''' or {{status effect|sustained damage}} '''[[Sustained Damage]]''', along with possibly other effects.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] 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''': 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) [[File:Infatuated icon1.png|24px|link=]] '''Infatuated''': {{combat message|You are growing infatuated with Honey B. Lovely...}}
**(2 stacks) [[File:Head over heels icon1.png|24px|link=]] '''Head Over Heels''': {{combat message|You are head over heels Honey B. Lovely...}} Deals Damage over time.
**(3 stacks) [[File:Hopeless devotion icon1.png|24px|link=]] '''Hopeless Devotion''': {{combat message|You are powerless against your undying affection for Honey B. Lovely...}}. Will stun the player for 5 seconds with [[File:Fatal attraction icon1.png|24px|link=]] '''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.
*'''Loveseeker''': Telegraphed point-blank AoE that will increase the heart gauge by one.
*'''Love Me Tender''': Spawns several hearts that will slowly travel outwards, along with sequential medium and large circle AoE telegraphs. Being hit by any of these will increase the heart gauge by one.
*'''Blow Kiss''': Diffusely telegraphed wide frontal conal AoE. Being hit will increase the heart gauge by one.
*'''Love Me Tender''': Now spawns nine sequential circle AoEs that cover the arena. 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: {{combat message|Honey B. Lovely coats her stinger with poison.}}
*'''Honey Beeline''': Same line attack as before, but now spawns yellow poison globs throughout the arena, 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 [[File:Poison resistance down II icon2.png|24px|link=]] '''Poison Resistance Down II''', making overlap lethal.
*'''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 poison globs. One random player will also receive stack marker ('''Drop of Venom''') dealing magical damage and inflicting [[File:Poison resistance down II icon2.png|24px|link=]] '''Poison Resistance Down II'''.
*'''Alarm Pheromones''': {{combat message|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, leaving the adjacent opposite 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 {{status effect|magic vulnerability up}} 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.
*After this phase ends, '''Alarm Pheromones''' is used again, but the line AoEs will spawn in more random locations making dodging more chaotic.
*Mechanics repeat until the boss is defeated.
