Starlight Glimmer

Communist Pone

## Description

**Starlight Glimmer** is a female pink unicorn pony with a purple-cyan mane, that makes her first 2 appearances as a main antagonist, and later and still as one of the protagonist characters in *MLP:FiM*. Her first appearance was in season five premiere *The Cutie Map*, as the leader of a village, having the philosophy that "*true friendship*" comes from being equal (no more or less talented than another) and that having special talents of any kind only leads to disharmony; she also appeared in the season five finale *The Cutie Re-Mark*, where she decides to take revenge on *Twilight Sparkle* and her friends, changing one of the spells of *Star Swirl the Bearded* to travel in time, changing the history of Equestria, and thus to avoid that Twilight and her friends will never discover their true talents when they were fillys; in both episodes she appears as main villain. But after this last chapter, she gets a redemption, and she's the friendship student of Twilight Sparkle. Before, Starlight was somewhat of a disciplinarian, issuing punishment to those who don't conform to her philosophies, and also quite disrespectful and vengeful, even to royalty; but after her redemption, she tries to improve as a person and as a friend, being more kind, understanding and loyal, and not letting the past affect her in her new future with new friends like Trixie, Maud and Sunburst. Starlight is a very powerful pony, who spent many years studying the greatest spells that ever existed, even her magic compares to Twilight's, but her maximum capacity was never known.

*She's in the world of mercenaries to implant her philosophy of equality, so that the harmony between them coexists .. **but they soon realized that it was communism...***

## Abilities

Starlight Glimmer's main mobility tool is **Teleport**.

* Activation: **Secondary Attack** (Mouse2)
* Cooldown: 7.5s

Starlight Glimmer has access to **Weighdown**.

**Main Rage** is activated by the **Medic Call** key (E by default).

There are different options for the Main Rage, you can choose between them by pressing reload (R by default).
1. **Equalize** *(costs 35% rage)* - Starlight launches a projectile that travels at a speed of 1100 units/s and affects foes in a 511 HU radius. Enemies hit have their max health reduced to 167, have their speed set to 300 HU/s and are restricted to their melee, which is altered so that it does 65 base damage and has an attack interval of 0.8 seconds regardless of the victim's class. Affected enemies have their special abilities (Scout's double jump; Demo's shield charge; Engineer's sentry; Spy's disguise, cloak and backstab; Wizard's spells) disabled. All effects last 15 seconds. Once the ability is used, it cannot be used again for 8 seconds.
2. **Line Explosion** *(costs 50% rage)* - Starlight launches a projectile that travels at a speed of 1400 units/s and creates a line of consecutive explosions from the point of impact. Each explosion does 100 damage in a 150 HU radius. The total number of explosions is 9 and they happen at an interval of 0.2 seconds and a distance of 150 HU from each other. The explosions will attempt to climb low walls and drop from low ceilings to be able to continue if possible. Once the ability is used, it cannot be used again for 8 seconds.
3. **Repel Shield** *(costs 15% rage)* - Starlight creates a shield around herself that protects her from damage and knockback while pushing away enemies in 250 HU range. While Repel Shield is active, Starlight does not get stunned from using her Teleport or ending her Magic Beam. However, she cannot hurt players with her melee attacks for 1.5 seconds after teleporting. The ability lasts for 6 seconds. Once the ability is used, it cannot be used again for 8 seconds.
4. **Frozen Escape** *(costs 25% rage)* - Starlight launches a projectile that travels at a speed of 800 units/s and freezes enemies on hit in a 300 unit radius. Frozen enemies cannot move nor attack and are immune to damage. The effects last 5 seconds. After the victims unfreeze, they are immune for additional 0.5 seconds. Once the ability is used, it cannot be used again for 15 seconds.

None of the casting of all the rages stun sentries. A sentry getting hit by Equalize or Frozen Escape will get disabled for 4 seconds.
Starlight Glimmer needs to receive 3000 damage in order to get from 0% rage to 100% rage.
**Special Rage** costs 15% rage upon use and drains 15% rage per second while active. It is activated and deactivated by pressing the **Special Attack** key (Mouse3 by default).

### Battling as Starlight Glimmer

To play her decently, you must take into account that your main source of damage is not the melee, rages are, so going where are a lot of people without having enough rage is a bad idea, you must go cautiously, obtaining percentage of rage little by little, so you can use your rages in a dynamic and efficient way against large groups.

It would be advisable to go for others who are not in the "*central group*" or where is the majority, so as to have more advantage over them, and incidentally winning rage percentage.

If you know very well how her rages and abilities work, and how to use them in different situations, you will be someone fearsome and promote them communism to the death, literally!

### Battling against Starlight Glimmer

The key to battling against her is not to group in large groups, but in small groups to prevent Starlight, with her big area damage, from killing many people easily.

Teamwork is also important, to protect each other against starlight, so a Medic would be great to cure your allies from the dangerous attacks of Starlight, remember that the main prey of any hale are the Medics!

The engies will have a bad time against Starlight, due her line explosion rage, so it's better to turn to the dark side and take out the mini sentries to annoy Starlight and be a great help for your team.

The spies will also have a bad time with the Starlight's Equalize rage, as they will not be able to use the clocks or the dead ringer to defend themselves, not even a backstab works. Demoknights suffer against Equalize too.
