Passive Ability icons which can be seen above the hotbar, or bottom right next to the hotbar on mobile. These icons are for Haste Pulser, Coconut Haste Surge, Ignite, X-Flame, and Emergency Coconut Shield.
Passive Abilities, or simply Passives are effects found on some accessories, amulets, or bees. These abilities are active all the time or only activate when specific actions are done, as an additional effect of those actions.
Passive abilities granted by an accessory or an amulet are displayed near the hotbar. Some passive abilities require the player to do the same action multiple times as shown by the number displayed on the passive icon, indicating how close it is to activating the ability. When the ability is activated, the number will reset.
Some passive abilities have a cooldown. When in cooldown, the number of seconds left will be displayed and will turn pale red. No trigger will activate the ability, nor increase the trigger counter. These passive abilities also have an initial cooldown when the player equips items that have those passives to prevent bypassing the cooldown.
