Ah, I apologize then.

Though now that you mention Cadence as a fighter herself, her special talent could, maybe, possibly, hypothetically, be used to neutralise an enemy force by removing their hostile feelings towards Equestrians, or something along those lines.

Hm... that is possible, I suppose. It would be quite useful during a big battle.

The only "nuclear" option they really have is the Elements. Celestia and Luna may be stronger than your average pony, but they've never been shown to unstoppable superpowers or any such thing. Besides, even if they were that strong, it wouldn't make any difference. They're commanders and royalty on top of that, and you don't send either to the front lines. They could be one-mare armies, and they'll still sit at the back directing the troops.

As for Cadence and Shining sending the Changelings packing, that was clearly a one-time thing. The attack was created from sheer determination and the purity of their love for each other. That's not something that you can just do. You can't control that; it's entirely circumstantial. I doubt it could ever be duplicated, unless, possibly, if they were put into a similar situation. Also, like with Celestia and Luna, it wouldn't matter, anyways, as they're not sending Cadence to the front lines what with her being royalty and, in all likelihood, the current heir to the throne.

The only super weapon that Equestria really has is the Elements, but that's also all they particularly need as the Elements are the strongest magic known to ponykind. They can even take down Discord, and he's pretty much a living god.

totally unbalanced, then again the changelings can morph into any pony they want so, i guess it's sorta even that way.
Although if they all morphed into Celestia Equestria would be in dire straits.

They could be one-mare armies, and they'll still sit at the back directing the troops.

Indeed they are royalty, and if they want to go and fight to protect their little ponies there isn't anyone who can really order them not to.

That's not something that you can just do. You can't control that; it's entirely circumstantial. I doubt it could ever be duplicated, unless, possibly, if they were put into a similar situation.

When Cadence's special talent is spreading love, why wouldn't they be able to duplicate it?
Also, like with Celestia and Luna, it wouldn't matter, anyways, as they're not sending Cadence to the front lines what with her being royalty and, in all likelihood, the current heir to the throne.

Unless she goes of her own royal prerogative. Or unless Equestria has a more "rule from the front" tradition.

The only super weapon that Equestria really has is the Elements, but that's also all they particularly need as the Elements are the strongest magic known to ponykind. They can even take down Discord, and he's pretty much a living god.

They do fuck shit up real good.

Don't you know historical enemies cannot be in the same thread together for extended periods?
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
