Star Fighters[]
Starcade cared about her Star Fighter friends, but was naive into thinking that the Star Fighters missed her while she was captured in maximum security. Despite being rejected from the roster, she does not mind and sounds rather casual when announcing the news to the gang.
Olympus[]
Originally, they were friendly competitors in an annual game championship years ago. However, as Olympus was not willing to accept his loss to Starcade, he takes revenge by taking over Eitbit and throws Starcade and her friends in his prison. Having her homeland and everything she loved dearly taken away from her, Starcade grew intense hatred to Olympus.
The Gemstones[]
Starcade is usually very friendly and caring to the gemstones. While most of them enjoy her company, Red Ruby is the only one who tries to avoid her.
The Retro Rebels[]
Starcade met the Nitrome gang, before they formed the Retro Rebels together, for the first time when the latter group was seeking refuge in Eitbit from the wrath of the Nitrome Boss. She was more than willing to take them in, and in return, they formed the Retro Rebels with many other Eitbitizens. Starcade became their leader and Test Subject Blue became their assistant leader. As leader of the Retro Rebels, Starcade treats her teammates with care and friendliness, willing to take most of the responsibilities to account for her teammates' actions, as shown in Nitro Mania. Test Subject Blue has also mentioned that he is Starcade's biggest fan.
Blue Ocean[]
Both characters interact well with one another. It has been implied that they have been playing video games together, as they both love video games.
Electra[]
Electra and Starcade are similar, since they are both computer experts. However, both girls have a deep rivalry between each other, as pointed out in several stories.
Dark Starcade[]
Starcade sees Dark Starcade as just another clone and doesn't really take the latter seriously, unless it concerns her friends.
Cuboy[]
Cuboy once had a crush on Starcade, but due to a certain misunderstanding in the past, he grew bitter towards her and joined forces with Olympus. In "Cuboy and the Nitro Maniacs", their relationship starts to recover after the misunderstanding between them has been cleared up.
Stats[]
Starcade has a very high intelligence stat that few characters are capable of rivaling, being able to outsmart many characters especially those of lower intelligence. She also has an above average damage output thanks to melee attacks enhanced by her pixelated energy and her laser pistols. Besides that, she has decent mobility, HP and stealth but falls on defense.
According to IaLR: Tier Lists - Retro Characters!, Starcade is in the B tier. While she does not have stats as high as other B tiers, she does not have many counters and is able to deal a lot of damage to her opponents quickly and even if this does not work, she can take advantage of her superior intelligence to outsmart any opponents that she may struggle against.
