** Calia and Amber. In canon, they are SuperWeight 4s who can instantly turn their opponents into solids/gas for a OneHitKill if any of their attacks even ''scratch'' them. In the Arena they're downgraded to a SuperWeight 3, and the OneHitKill is absent.

* SamusIsAGirl: You need two hands to count the number of times a female character was introduced as gender-ambiguous. Might as well consider it part of [[DrinkingGame/EnterTheArenaAsYourAvatar the drinking game]].
** Bolded's [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Good Hunter]], [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII Ashen One]], and [[VideoGame/EldenRing Tarnished]] are all women who were too covered up by thick clothing and armor, and [[TheSpeechless too mute]], for anyone to tell.
** Being a Defense, you'd think "Fire Emblem!Defense" would be male like all the others, until the PoweredArmor comes off to reveal it's an ''Anna''.
** Each and every one of [=DevilPsyco=]'s Cyber Angels were called "it" until it turned out [[WasOnceAMan they used to be the females of an organic species]] before [[EmergencyTransformation becoming machines to survive a deadly plague that wiped out the males]].
** Major Arachnos villain Polyphemus gets bonus points for being a plot antagonist frequently referred to with he/him pronouns by in-universe characters and they/them pronouns in narration, only to turn out to be neither male nor nonbinary, just a {{Chuuni|byou}} making her voice sound ominously vague to be cool.

* WillfullyWeak: Can be used to make a very powerful character viable for the Arena. Arachnos' rendition of [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Konngara]] has the [[GameBreaker obscene ability]] [[OneHitKO to burn absolutely anything]], but because of her sense of honor she has only used it to its full extent once - against someone who was '''willing''' to have her kill him. Similar deal for the same roleplayer's EX-Cirno.

* VillainDecay: Poor King Sombra. In his first appearances, he was a [[TheDreaded feared, formidable threat]] who bent [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Wrath]] to his will and promptly ended up with a whole army from Pseudo Porky under his command. However, a combination of StatusQuoIsGod preventing him from scoring any meaningful victories and the original Porky repeatedly screwing with him, culminating in the disbandment of most of his army, gradually neutered most of the threat he may have had early on. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14315151240A21923900&page=10510#comment-262729 Sombra himself acknowledges this in-universe]], and it's a deciding factor for his decision to [[LastVillainStand go out]] [[TheLastDance with a bang]].

** Another boss fight came from in the form of the Storm Giant Typhon, complete with 100 HP. The battle took 4 hours in total, and 5 inexact phases each adding more attacks: Regular Tornado, Poison Rain, Stomping and Smashing with cloud hands/feet, waves and volleys of lightning, and the Horseman of Pestilence. The battle ultimately ended with the massive tornado coalescing into the Horseman of Pestilence at 20 HP. Rain continued to fall, and he wielded thunderbolts with a magic crossbow. It would've been much much longer and possibly a HopelessBossFight had some of metatron's followers hurled a bomb at it early on. [[CaptainObvious Then they realized that blades and swords weren't, in fact, effective against a tornado made of disease or otherwise]].
