* OhCrap: Usually said whenever a Kaiju reveals a hidden weapon. '''Especially''' when it's a low dice roll, it's hard not to wince when seeing a roll be a 1 in a critical moment.

to:

* NukeEm: Irwin's entrance and apparent GameBreaker powers caused a panicked reaction and unnecessary usage of tactical nuclear warhead. [[WhatTheHellHero Some of the more experienced players is not amused.]]
** NiceJobBreakingItHero: On the other hand, the nuke allowed Red Guards and Cherno to obtain easy victory (critical strike that injured the knee, causing a [[EpicFail walking blunder]]). However, this result with:
** NoEndorHolocaust: Oh so [[FromBadToWorse horribly, unfairly]] averted. A single tactical nuclear warhead might be nothing dangerous, a tactical nuclear weapon vaporizing a good chunk of kaiju's limb? Ouch.

* ArmorIsUseless: Subverted for Cherno Alpha,which is one of the toughest Jaeger in the world(and is one now for being the last one). Played straight for just about everything else. T-120 anti Kaiju tank has about as much resistance as infantry against any Kaiju attack. Several Kaijus are also specifically manufactured to be defensive but most of the time they went down in one turn against Cherno.

Cherno Alpha returns from Hong Kong after Stacker Pentecost's failed last stand against the Kaiju to a world where communication has broken down across much of the globe. Thunderstorms wrack the sky where a Category V Kaiju had unleashed a persistent electromagnetic weapon. Air travel is grounded,Category [=Is=] wander between urban centers and even more Kaiju follow. Japan is lost, Korea, lost and South-East Asia, lost. Australia? Who knows? The US hides behind a wall and Kaiju have been sighted far inland in China and even India. One lone Jaeger remains standing.

** The Incinerator Turbines somewhat can be considered to be this, considering that it can be easily dodged if used on a non-stunned/severely wounded target. Even then a knocked over Kaiju managed to dodge it. It can also only be used twice before shutting down due to power shortage for a turn.
