* {{Leitmotif}}: Wrathful Cerulean Flame. An excerpt plays during her Class Conversion cutscene in Chapter 8, with a full version later released on a soundtrack CD. Notably, this song shares a name with her Talent, which was translated as Azure Fury in the English script.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the story, Frostleaf can use Arts. In gameplay, she is one of the few Lord Guards that completely lack any mean to deal Arts damage.

* AnIcePerson: Her Arts manifests as this. Exemplified with her second skill, which has a chance to briefly bind enemy targets in her attack area.

* DualWielding: Subverted, as while he wields his BFS in one hand and his dagger in the other, none of his animations show him visibly using the latter to attack. Considering other examples such as Lava, it may be some form of [[MagicWand Arts unit]] instead.

* OneHandedZweihander: He swings his massive BFS in one hand normally, though he uses both hands while his third skill is active.

* MageKiller: Not a main focus of his design, but Hoederer is particularly effective against Arts-based enemies as enemy Arts damage is typically balanced around most melee units having no RES and much less HP, and because of how Arts damage mitigation works, his second Talent effectively gives him 18-21 base RES with no external bonuses giving him more mitigation than an Arts Fighter while having over double their base HP. And since Arts enemies will usually have [[SquishyWizard high RES but low DEF, HP or both]] while Hoederer does primarily large amounts of physical damage, he will typically shrug off their attacks like nothing and proceed to crush them within a couple of hits.

** W's archive file contains an excerpt from the [[FictionalDocument fictional book]] ''Struggle and Freedom''. The name of the book's author is abbreviated to only the letter "H", implying Hoederer is that author. Episode 12 confirms that he wrote several books documenting the history of Sarkaz warfare, one of which Manfred lent to Paprika. He is also shown spending all his time in imprisonment reading books, which the Sarkaz soldiers in the Military Commission find unusual.

* ParentalSubstitute: He becomes something of an adoptive father to W ever since he took her into his mercenary group.

* EyepatchOfPower: At some point between "Darknights' Memoir" and Episode 10, he loses his eye and begins wearing an eyepatch as part of his new knightly look. A comment from Manfred heavily implies he took Hoederer's eye when they fought in a past incident, and he seems to feel some regret for that. This doesn't slow him down any at all, as shown during his brief duel with W where he very easily overpowers her and could have easily killed her to keep up appearances if not for [[TheDreaded Ascalon]] showing up when she did.

* GeniusBruiser: In addition to his monstrous combat capabilities and acumen, Hoederer is extremely well-educated and cultured for a Sarkaz mercenary (who mostly tend to be illiterate), being able to write comprehensive literature about Sarkaz history and culture, and teach classes to students of different ages. It's obvious that his true desire is merely to be a scholar and teacher, only for him to be [[ReluctantWarrior forced to become a soldier]] due to the Sarkaz's ForeverWar.

-->'''Paprika''': General Manfred lent me a book, A History of Sarkaz War.\\

-->''No, it's nothing. ...Fine. "Introduction to Accounting Practices". Borrowed it from the library. Ines said that all you need to know to open a shop is how to collect money and give change. And now, I'm a little surprised to find out that she's right. Well, I won't call it a waste of effort. At the very least, there's no harm in having some idle thoughts.''

* MightyGlacier: Hoederer has colossal HP and ATK from his Crusher archetype, and he has innate Shelter with his second talent to help mitigate the archetype's total lack of defenses, as well as LifeDrain on his skills.

-->''It wasn't his choice and the Sarkaz didn't have any to begin with.''

->''Hoederer, the Sarkaz mercenary, came to you ready for war.''

** As opposed to a more martial-based skill such as mastery training which might be expected from a mercenary, his base skill is '''Self-made Trader''', which provides a significant boost to Trading Post efficiency which is increased further with Ines and W working in the base, showing a talent in commerce.

* PromotedToPlayable: After having been introduced to the story since "Darknights Memoir", he finally becomes playable in Episode 13.

* MultiMeleeMaster: He carries a sword on his hip and a dagger in his hand, though his standoff with W implies the former is his main weapon. His playable appearance primarily uses the sword.

* ReluctantWarrior: Despite being a mercenary, Hoederer is deeply tired of warfare and conflict, particularly involving the Sarkaz race, and seeks a life of peace for both himself and all Sarkaz people. It's implied his reason for aligning with Rhodes Island rather than Theresis is due to the latter's own goals threatening to lead the Sarkaz into a future of endless violence.

* AbusiveDad: It's heavily implied Ch'en had an abusive father, or at least had an extremely strained relationship with him. Either way, she quickly moved out of her old home the first chance she got and never looked back. It is shown in Episode 5 that her father was very strict towards her, and these following words below are what she remembers. He is aware of his actions, but assures that hatred between him and Ch'en is most beneficial. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that it's due to a marriage arranged by Wei, something that everyone involved in it actually hated.]]

* BilingualBonus: In a game where Japanese dub is the norm, her line when added into a squad is "Mou mantai", a Cantonese phrase meaning "no problem" or "relax". Note that this line is romanized but left untranslated in the voice line viewer.

-->'''Kal'tsit:''' Ask her... "How long does Lungmen intend to keep playing dumb?"
-->'''Ch'en:''' I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: She's a Chinese dragon, as one is seen behind her in her Elite 2. As an example of [[ShownTheirWork writers doing their homework]], she isn't alligned to fire.

* SternTeacher: He picks up the job of martial arts training after joining Rhodes Island, and quickly proves himself to be a strict teacher that emphasizes the importance of diligence in training. He manages to make ''[[DrillSergeantNasty Dobermann]]'' of all people look lenient in comparison.

* AnimalGenderBender: While Conviction is vouced by a female voice actor, their AnimalMotifs are apparently based on (male) peafowls (see above trope).

* VersionExclusiveContent: As of April Fools 2020, Conviction is only available to CN players through a special code obtained through bilibili. This is no longer a case for Global players, though.
