Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash is a Free Solo boss with the Scout class and the Pegasus archetype. She deals decreased melee damage (136) but deals minicrit damage while airborne (183). She has a longer Scout attack interval (0.6s) and moves at a very fast speed (400-500 HU/s). She uses Super Jump as her mobility tool with the standard cooldown (5s). Her Main Rage makes her fly in the direction she attacks for a short time period, causing fatal damage to anyone she touches. She can triple jump.

## Miscellaneous

Rainbow Dash is one of the few bosses that is able to double jump. The other ones being her Wonderbolt ego, Cheese Sandwich in Manic Mode, Screwball, Scootaloo and Spitfire.

Rainbow Dash and her Wonderbolt ego are the only bosses who can triple jump.

If Rainbow Dash jumps into water, it is still counted as airborne, therefore making her Atomizer always mini-crit until Rainbow Dash touches the ground.

Rainbow Dash's Rage is known as the Matrix Attack from a different FF2 Rage, however it's missing the slowdown that the original concept had.

When Rainbow Dash uses her Rage there's a rainbow that trails behind her movement.

## Fighting

### Strengths

* Fastest boss overall on the server. Can catch up to Scouts from the very beginning, and it only gets better.
* Amazing mobility thanks to her speed and Triple jump.
* Insanely powerful rage. Instakills anyone at far range and can easily decimate large groups of people as long as the boss can control it.
* High melee damage for a Scout hale. Also does minicrit damage while airborne.
* Can combine triple jump with weighdown to kill bulky melee classes that would take multiple hits to kill.

### Weaknesses

* The power of the Rage is compensated by its high health cost.
* Slightly slower Scout melee swing, reducing a bit the pace of the Rage.

### Battling as Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash has one of the weakest attacks but she also has one of the fastest speeds out of all the bosses. Her mobility is her strength, as she's one of only 2 other bosses that can triple jump. Her rage is insanely powerful, however it requires a lot of hp (3500 hp) to build up. Since Rainbow Dash has such mobile boss, her strategy is to move really fast and take advantage of her ability to triple jump to avoid attacks with low attack damage and a bit slower melee swing, it's not advisable to jump directly into a crowd as the target hit can mingle with the crowd, avoiding the second killing swing. It's better to target those on the fringes, such as snipers or any other lone wandering class. For her rage, it's best to use in large clumps or lines of players, which will allow for killing multiple mercenaries in it's short duration.

If not avoidable, attack a crowd by jumping in and out with triple jump and superjump to avoid being piled on and to keep the mercenaries confused on where to hit. Her double jump is useful for fast goombas by double jumping over the heads of a crowd then using weighdown immediately after, while her triple jump helps her to reach high places faster. When her rage is up, she zooms really fast per swing for 3 seconds, killing any mercenaries in her swing path (the direction she's facing when swinging). When using the rage, it's advisable to take aim before swinging instead of blindly swinging; this reduces the number of times she can blitz through players but it increases the accuracy and chance of killing players. One thing to note is that if you're swinging during the rage and you're within a certain radius of a player while looking at them, you teleport into them with a near instantaneous death.

Rainbow Dash's weakness is her very short time of rage duration and her attack damage. Because of this, medic is her greatest enemy, as the healing and overheal makes even a scout avoid dying from her attacks quickly. Melee mercenaries are also a threat as they generally have higher health and can tank several of her weak attacks without flinching. It is generally best to either attempt to goomba them or isolate them from a crowd to focus them down. Sentries are also a problem as her base damage is weak against buildings, so target engineers over destroying the buildings.

### Battling against Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash is really fast, and sometimes hard to hit. However, she has weak damage, so choosing any class that has high health is a decent counter to her. Medic is her greatest counter, as they can buff all other players' health to not die to Rainbow Dash in 2 hits. Engineer buildings are also a hindrance to her as she can't instantly destroy them like other bosses and her rage does no damage to buildings, though it does stun sentries temporarily.

When fighting her at close quarters, whether playing as a melee mercenary or because she engages, be wary of her double jump; she can jump over mercenaries and crouch down to goomba so keep an erratic pattern of movement to reduce the possibility of being goombaed. Keeping together as a crowd increases the chances of survival, but be wary of when Rainbow Dash's rage is up because she can tear right through a group without stopping with it.
