** Claidheamh gets much more formidable after it TurnsRed.

* '''Lampshaded''': [[QuirkyBard Quirby]] remarks, "This [[ClimaxBoss Claidheamh's]] [[{{BFS}} silly toy]] looks like he's CompensatingForSomething. [[TemptingFate This shouldn't take too]] [[KilledMidSentence lonGAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH]]."

* '''Straight''': The ClimaxBoss, Claidheamh, of ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia'' is rather fragile for the point of the game it’s in but all of its attacks hit like a train.

* '''Straight''': The ClimaxBoss of ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia'' is rather fragile for the point of the game it’s in but all of its attacks hit like a train.
* '''Exaggerated''': RocketTagGameplay against the ClimaxBoss.
* '''Downplayed''': The boss has a normal health pool and has higher than average attack power for the part of the game it’s in but it’s a slow and large target that’s easy to damage rapidly and it’s defense is very poor.
* '''Justified''': The boss has a {{BFG}} but [[GlassCannon weak armour]].
** Or the boss comes up in a second encounter, having [[ShedArmorGainSpeed discarded his heavily damaged armor]] in exchange for gaining a lot of artillery. So while he hits a lot harder, he also goes down fairly easily.

** The boss has low defense, but [[GetBackHereBoss frequently dodges attacks]], making the fight take longer than it normally would.
** Alternatively, the boss has low defense but doesn't have powerful attacks, turning it into a BreatherBoss.

** Just before the fight, the player obtains a skill that always hits, rendering the boss' speed meaningless.
** The boss gets much more formidable after it TurnsRed.

** A villain is feared across the entire world for being able to level cities, but once the main character fights him in single combat, he keels over from being poked.

* '''Zig Zagged''':

** ...But its [[TurnsRed berserk]] stage still isn't impressive.
* '''Averted''': The boss' ratio of attack to defense is average.

* '''Lampshaded''': TheBigGuy remarks, "This [[ClimaxBoss guy's]] [[{{BFG}} silly toy]] looks like he's CompensatingForSomething. [[TemptingFate This shouldn't take too]] [[KilledMidSentence lonGAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH]]."
* '''Invoked''': The boss studies offensive tactics above all else, so he can defeat his opponents before they know what's coming to them.

* '''Defied''': The boss realizes that while being a GlassCannon makes for a more exhilarating fight, it is far more practical to be a StoneWall.

** The player base is bemused, having expected the final boss to have a longer fight and more phases due to genre requirements.
** Less skilled players find it virtually impossible to beat the boss because of the frantic nature of the fight, since mistakes are quickly punished with death. On the flip side, skilled players who intuitively understand the attack pattern of the boss can kill them so quickly that there is no time to get into the fight and immersion is lost.

** Fortunately, the final boss comes back with a plethora of new attacks on NewGamePlus, forcing even experienced players on the defensive and providing them a legitimate challenge. Meanwhile, players who lose a certain number of times acquire an item that allows them to reflect the painfully powerful attacks back at the boss using a simple mechanic introduced near the beginning of the game.
