{{Camp}} characters--[[CampGay gay]], [[MachoCamp macho]], or [[CampStraight straight]]--are flamboyant in appearance or demeanor. This doesn't necessarily mean that they can't hold themselves in a fight. Often times they'll fight in a way that suits their campiness. They may incorporate ballet in their moves, fight with beautiful clothing, unleash rainbow beams, use roses, etc., all in a flashy way that somehow works. May or may not end up conjuring BishieSparkles.

Often overlaps with AgentPeacock, CombatAestheticist, DanceBattler, TheFightingNarcissist, HeartIsAnAwesomePower, PersonalityPowers, and SheFu. Note that while the Agent Peacock is an effeminate badass, Campy Combat is specifically about effeminate men fighting in a campy, over-the-top way. Compare FightingClown, where a character's fighting style is meant to be amusing.

* The ''Cute High Earth Defense Club'' series (''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' and ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubHappyKiss'') has all the campy action of a typical MagicalGirlWarrior show, but with the [[GenderFlip genders flipped]] and played for comedy. Puffy pants and glittery wands are the name of the game, and they fight the MonsterOfTheWeek using ThePowerOfLove and rainbow beams. It's played ''just'' straight enough to allow them to be competent at their jobs, but otherwise has them lampshading the absurdity.

* Hisoka Morow from ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' has jester-like hair, clothing, and makeup and uses an alluring, feminine style of speech.

His Nen ability "Bungee Gum" forms a pink aura with the properties of rubber and gum that's [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower much more deadly than it sounds]].

* ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' is essentially a MagicalGirlWarrior show, but with magical ''boys''. So the main characters transform into frilly costumes and use magic wands to fight the Monster using ThePowerOfLove, visualized as rainbow-colored beams of light. All of them, except for [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Yumoto]] are very embarrassed by this but are forced to keep fighting. The characters are nominally straight but the show has ChromosomeCasting and massive amounts of ShipTease aimed at YaoiFangirls.
