==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 adds to an enemy's root (lock down) threshold "bar". This means the higher the Glory's level the more effective it is at locking down opponents. Users should note that if the projectiles from any root shotgun (also Halo and Corona) don't hit the enemy previously fired at for a second or longer, its root threshold bar will slowly drain.

The Glory also has strong damage potential, and the ability to bypass energy [[shield]]ing. Due to the large horizontal energy arc, it is possible to immobilize multiple targets in one shot, from a significant range.

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, however in close range, the sheer damage output combined with its ability to keep enemies in close range due to lockdown means it can rip apart even the most protected bots very quickly

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).

==Pros and Cons==
'''Pros'''
*Semi-quick rate-of-fire
*Energy-based projectiles allows gun to bypass energy shielding
*Shots catch on Aegis shields, depleting them quickly
*Can lock-down enemies
*Extreme damage at close range (200 meters or less)
*Reload-while-firing
*Good at sustained fighting

'''Cons'''
*Bullet spread prevents weapon from reaching maximum damage capacity at range
*Low damage at 300-500 meters
*Does not have capability to lock an enemy down in one clip
*Ineffective against physical shields
*Takes a while to reload to full charges

==Effect Accumulation %==
The higher the percentage the more effective the weapon's projectiles are at accumulating the root effect (allows the weapon to bypass an enemy's root threshold faster).

Note: Mark II levels 1-12 does not increase accumulation values (Mark I level 12 is the highest accumulation possible).
