* ConfusionFu: Very common, with Discord (naturally), Pinkie Pie, and Dark World!Applejack being prime users due to [[RealityWarper their ]] [[ToonPhysics power]] [[MasterOfIllusion sets]]. Part of what makes Dark World!Derpy an effective combatant is she has an unpredictable flight pattern. Dark World!Twilight gradually learns to make good use of this and even suggests it as the best method of fighting Discord because he's not expecting chaos to be used against him. It'd actually be a shorter list to name characters who ''don't'' use this at some point.

After Rainbow Dash is purified of her Discording, she falls into a healing coma and her mind goes to a HappyPlace where she becomes a filly again and plays with Discord (naturally), Pinkie Pie, and Dark World!Applejack her childhood friends. On the surface of the mental playground is a giant line drawing of herself which she fills in with colorful chalk. When she finishes coloring the whole thing, that is symbolic of her being prime users due ready to [[RealityWarper their ]] [[ToonPhysics power]] [[MasterOfIllusion sets]].

** Any fight that Queen Majesty and Lord Tirek (post transformation) end up in tends to be one sided in their favor, though some enemies [[CurbstomCushion fair better than others.]] This, naturally, stops when they face one another.

* ConditionedToBeWeak: In the Dark World arc, Discord places a spell on Spike, now an adult dragon, to keep his natural greed and hoarding instinct in check and make him more controllable. He then decides to remove it right as Twilight and Applejack are trying to snap Rarigreed out of her brainwashing. This makes Spike desire everything for himself, including Rarigreed who he has always been in love with, and become incredibly violent toward any pony who tries to stop him.

* DeagedInDeath: In the Dark World timeline, Fluttercruel is BornAsAnAdult and is more than a thousand years old. When she dies, her spirit appears as a filly to reflect that she is and always has been a PsychopathicManchild who was never mentally an adult and only looked like one, due to being Discorded and brainwashed her whole life.

* CloneAngst: Alright, so she's not a "clone" per se, but Fluttercruel sees herself as just a knockoff of the real Fluttershy, not truly alive and completely unable to be a unique individual simply because of how she was created. This causes her a great deal of heartache because she really ''wants'' to be. [[spoiler:Subverted after she realizes that she's real, regardless of whether or not she's a copy. When as part of their 'punishment', Luna brings up the possibility that Fluttercruel is a ''severely'' MindRaped Fluttershy and "Fluttershy" is the copy, they don't care, they're ''both'' real, why should it matter which one of them is the "original"?]]
