Zecora

Forest Shaman

## Description

**Zecora** is a female zebra, with a white-gray mane and some earrings and rings on her body, that appears as a side character in *MLP:FiM*. She made her first appearance in the episode of the first season *"Bridle Gossip"*, where she sometimes visited Ponyville looking for potions, and everypony believed that she was an evil sorceress, terrorizing everyone; but after clearing all of this misunderstanding, she became very good friends of the ponies. Zecora is dedicated to making magic potions, either cures for diseases or ills, or to help the ponies with their problems, thanks to her high knowledge about magical ailments. She speaks with a strong African-esque accent, forming rhyming couplets with all her sentences. She's someone willing to help and give advice, in the kindest and purest way possible, but of course, not directly... you'll have to discover that.

She's in the world of mercenaries to cure their rage, after they have spent hours and hours of playing and losing, and Zecora, with her potions and love spells, will try to fix it.

## Abilities

**Passive** - Zecora has a **Potion** free for use.

Enemies hit by the Potion (Jarate) become cursed, receiving a random negative effect. There is a 35% chance for changing the enemy's size, which will change their speed as well, 40% for either marking them for death or stripping them to melee only, 20% for freezing them and 5% for putting them in a bumper car. The first two effects can be combined, but becoming frozen or getting in a bumper car will override all other effects they would have gotten. All effects last 10 seconds.
If Zecora hits herself with the Potion, she receives maximum movement speed (520 units/s) for 7.5 seconds.
The potion regenerates every 20 seconds. Airblasting the potion will not change its effects.
Zecora's main mobility tool is **Super Jump**.

* Activation: **Secondary Attack** (Mouse2)
* Cooldown: 5s

Zecora has access to **Weighdown**.

**Main Rage** costs 100% rage. It is activated by the **Medic Call** key (E by default).

**Love Curse** - Nearby enemies in 4096 HU radius from Zecora will "fall in love" with another, meaning that they have to get within 256 units near the player they fell in love, otherwise they will start taking damage each second and getting knocked towards their beloved one every 3 seconds. Players affected by the Love Curse will receive a message at the button of their screen saying: *"You're madly in love with `[Player's name]`! You are compelled to seek them out!"*
The further the players are from each other the more damage and push they receive. The damage dealt is `[0.015 * distance from mate *(in HU)*]`, while the attraction force is equal to `[0.6 * distance from mate *(in HU)*]`. These effects last for 15 seconds. When a player affected by Love Curse dies, their partner loses 50 health.
**Spellblock** - Activating the Rage prevents enemies from casting spells.
Zecora needs to receive 2500 damage in order to get from 0% rage to 100% rage.
**Special Rage** costs 25% rage. It is activated by pressing the **Reload** key (R by default).

**Illusions** - A number of RED players temporarily equip Zecora's model and switch places, while Zecora herself switches position with one of them. The model change lasts 8 seconds. The ability has a cooldown of 30 seconds after use.
## Weapon Attributes

Freedom Staff | +210% damage bonus
70% faster weapon switch
-50% reduction in push force taken from damage

## Miscellaneous

Zecora gains a new potion before the recharge bar fills completely.

If the number of players affected by the Love Curse is an odd number, the randomly chosen odd player will not get affected by the Love Curse rage.

Players under the effects of Love Curse have the Cloud 9 unusual effect on their heads. There's also a pink beam effect that shows every second connecting the "soulmates".

When the Love Curse effect is over, those who were affected by it will get the following message at the top of their screen saying: "The love curse has faded."

## Fighting

### Strengths

### Weaknesses

*Please contact the wiki managers if you wish to help complete this article.*
### Battling as Zecora

Firstly, you have the "***Potion***", which it will serve you more for the speed boost, since the random effects are more physical changes than disadvantages for the opponent, so throw it to yourself when you go to attack (*and if you can throw it so that it affects others too to get the maximum value of it* ), and even better combining it with the super jump for maximum speed. Also you mark them to death, so you get free mini-crits for one hit killing them, use them more in *demoknights* or *heavys*.

You also have the "***Illusion***", which helps you a lot when it comes to go for the *engies* and *medics*, teleporting near to players, since you can deceive others believing that you are a false clone of the hale, so try to go stealthy and not using your super jump, or the costume won't work and you will recieve damage; also try to avoid staying close to the pyros, if the others see that a clone is burning, it's because it's the real Zecora. Also try not to being much exposed, especially for the *sniper*, as they are dedicated to shoot the clones to know who is the hale, when you get shoted, the hale will be affected by the "*outlines"*, allowing them to differentiate her by the blue edge that leads around her to others that are red.

And you also have the "***Love Curse***", which can serve you well to kill others in large quantities, the most ideal would be to use them on large maps ,and when everyone is scattered, so it will not give them much time to meet their couple and avoid receiving great damage. Remember that the effect will only work when the affected couple are a little far away, such as at a medium distance.

### Battling against Zecora

Something you must take into account when fighting against Zecora, is that she will have many ways to deal with the *RED* team, so be prepared at all times.

You must be alert all the time, because when she uses the "***Illusion***", you must verify that those who carry the model, are exactly the hale or not, so don't get too close to them, trust in those who are your mates and stay close so that it's hard for Zecora to kill your team.

Always be aware that Zecora can kill you at any second, either because she teleports when she uses "***Illusion***", or else she deceives you with her disguise.

The *pyros* counters her very well, for its flamethrower that ruins the *Zecora's Illusion.* The *engies* suffer against her since she manages to deceive the sentries with her disguise, and worse if she teleports near the fragile engie without his sentry, as well with the medics, always protect them!

The *medics* are the key to your team when you face agaisnt Zecora, because the damage caused by the "***Love Curse***", can be countered with the *medic's heal*, but try to stay close to him, protect the *medics* more than your life!
