* DramaPreservingHandicap: Crosshair at 100% would have shot the assassin dead in the central spire, much less all the other times he had a clean shot. His diminished aim gives the assassin a chance to close in to hand-to-hand, where the assassin has the edge.



* EliteMooks: Clone assassins may not have Crosshair’s ImprobableAimingSkills, but they have an extremely fast reaction time difficult even for Crosshair to keep up with.

* SniperDuel: Crosshair engages the clone assassin. While Crosshair may be good at spotting targets, and even if his hand weren't in bad shape, the clone assassin still has faster reflexes that he will fire the moment Crosshair spots him and before Crosshair can even take a shot. Crosshair then resorts to going melee on him, but the assassin proves to be more agile that Crosshair can barely keep up with him.

* AntiVillain: The only thing making Wolffe and his men villains is that they're working for the Empire; Wolffe is visibly affected by the dead clones he sees at the monastery, tries his best to avoid unnecessary force, and in the end, proves reasonable enough to let Rex, Howzer, and the Bad Batch leave peacefully.



* IWantThemAlive: Hemlock's orders for Omega to be recovered alive are mentioned several times, though the assassin is a bit careless, shooting down a ship that Omega is aboard with no guarantee that she'd survive the resulting crash.



* JerkassHasAPoint: While Wolffe correctly notes that the assassin could have killed Omega by shooting down the heroes' ship, the assassin replies that he prevented the targets from escaping, which is also true; the Imperials quickly catch up to the heroes, and if Rex hadn't been able to talk Wolffe into letting them go, they would have been done for.
