==Introduction==
The '''Glory''' is a close to mid-range (up to 500 meters, with a 60-meter optimal range) [[heavy]] [[energy]] weapon.

==Strategy==
This energy shotgun is the heavy version of the medium [[Corona]] and light [[Halo]]. 

The Glory could be seen as an upgraded [[Thunder]], however, each projectile has a chance of rooting (immobilizing) opponents. The Glory also has strong damage potential, and the ability to bypass energy [[Shield|shielding]]. Due to the large horizontal energy arc, it is possible to immobilize multiple targets in one shot.

The key difference between the Halo, Corona and Glory when compared to the [[Shredder]] and [[Pulsar]] is that the latter two are precision weapons and usually can only immobilize one enemy robot at a time, while the Halo, Corona and Glory can immobilize several enemies at once.

The Halo, Corona and Glory's immobilization ability has several important uses. In addition to immobilizing enemy robots for you and your teammates to destroy, they can also stop beacon cappers dead in their tracks, giving your team more time to capture vital beacons. This is especially useful in the game mode [[Beacon Rush]] where beacons are extremely important. Finally, if you are low on health and are being pursued by an enemy robot, the ability to root enemies to the ground for a few seconds can allow you to retreat behind cover so that when they do attack, you are ready and hopefully have teammates to help you out.

Like all shotguns, it has the weakness of dealing very little damage from its maximum range. This is due to the spread of the projectiles allowing only a small percentage of them to hit the target. Energy shotguns have an even larger shot spread when compared to their kinetic counterparts. This means they require the player to get extremely close to deal their maximum amount of damage.

The [[kinetic]] shotguns ([[Gust]], [[Storm]], and Thunder) have great synergy with the Glory as they have the same range and similar firing mechanics. Pairing with strong burst fire weapons such as the [[Pinata]], [[Orkan]] or [[Exodus]], can allow you to quickly eliminate rooted enemies. Lastly, using strong energy weapons such as the [[Magnum]], [[Taran]], [[Scourge]] or [[Redeemer]] can make full use of the Glory's energy based damage (although Scourge, [[Spark]] and [[Calamity]] are more advised, as damage increases as it gets closer, like Glory).
