Added DiffLines:

* AntiRageQuitting: Players are liable to react to a player disconnecting by having someone on the larger team sit out of the fight (until some other point, which is far less consistent - after one of their own team dies, after the enemy team has a chance to equal up their health to the refraining player, never...) to encourage the remaining smaller team's players to stay from having a chance to still play and win, despite the game having a forfeit mechanic when a team is considered to be missing a player and the AFK-sensor determining that can make things a little bit more difficult for the refraining player. This behaviour was probably carried over from ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions''.


Added DiffLines:

* ExplodingBarrels: Exists in Royale and some Arena maps. Additionally, they can be a particularly ExploitedTrope as an item in Royale that can be placed to create a trap for other players, or a consumable in Arena which has a player outright ''roll'' it in a direction to hopefully spectacularly explode nearby an enemy player ([[HoistByHisOwnPetard but don't be too close to it on impact]]).

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The following line from Ezmo's Book Of Lore:
--> The Xeridion Warlocks were a not-so-secret society of shadow mages who congregated weekly to discuss the latest in villainous and contemptuous ongoings in the city of Toleen, show off their latest demonic summonings, and sample a rather overpriced selection of fine cheeses.
* RiddleMeThis: In Freya's Book Of Lore entry, the first of the three challenges she must pass to become queen is answering a riddle. A wrong answer will be punished by [[AndIMustScream a thousand years of agony as Freya is digested within the stomach of Akrohnis, Goddess of Worms and Snakes]].
--> When bound, it chooses serf or king. When spilled, it foretells war or woe. When boiled, it fuels lusts and furies. When freed, it tumbles, falls, and fades away forever. When it runs, death will often follow. [[labelnote:Answer]]Blood[[/labelnote]]

* GuideDangIt: Whether or not an ability triggers counters can be tricky to determine. The general rule is that single-target abilities can be countered, and [=AoE=] skills can't, but there are plenty of exceptions: Pestilus' ''Infest'' is a single-target ability that goes through counters, and Rook's ''Crushing Blow'' procs them despite being an [=AoE=] attack. There is nothing in-game that reliably indicates whether or not an ability can be countered, so the only way to learn is through trial and error.

* PowersAsPrograms: DownplayedTrope with Battlerites, which are equipped to every champion for a match. Usually, they'll improve the effect of an ability, while sometimes adding a new effect or rarely even adding another small ability activatable after activating the ability initially.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Most characters' ultimate ability is this. Sure, they tend to have big flashy effects and deal lots of damage if they land, but that's ''if'' they land. If your opponents still have their escape ability off cooldown, or your ultimate can trigger {{Counter Attack}}s or [[AttackReflector be reflected]], you've just blown your whole energy meter on nothing. Although the ults can be devastating if you save them until your opponents have used up their escapes and counters, it's usually better to just use your energy on EX and Energy skills.

''Battlerite'' is a multiplayer online ActionGame developed by Creator/StunlockStudios. The game is a SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions'', and shares many similarities to it. Like its predecessor, ''Battlerite'' aims to provide an experience similar to a MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena game such as ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' or ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', while removing many elements that slow down gameplay such as farming, gaining levels, respawning, and lanes, leaving only combat between players.

The primary game mode of ''Battlerite'' is Arena. The goal of this mode is simply to eliminate the enemy team before they eliminate yours. Each character has a normal attack, five special skills (including one Energy skill) and [[LimitBreak an Ultimate ability]]. Attacking the enemy or healing teammates gives your character Energy, which can be used to cast improved (EX) versions of two skills, to use the character's Energy skill, or saved up to unleash the character's Ultimate. To mix things up, an Orb will periodically appear in the center of the arena, which awards Energy and life bonuses to the team that destroys it.

''Battlerite'' launched as paid early access in September 2016, with the free-to-play full launch happening in November 2017. Players who paid for early access get all characters unlocked for free automatically.

!!Tropes found in ''Battlerite''

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Chests are awarded for completing weekly quests, leveling up champions, or being purchased with in-game or premium currency. These chests award outfits, weapons (which only affect the weapon's appearance), victory poses, and mounts.
* {{Expy}}: Every character is based off a character from ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions''.
* KillSteal: The center orb gives a significant Energy and life bonus to the team that destroys it, but only the last hit counts. Even if you remove nearly all the Orb's health, it will all be for naught if an enemy player lands the last hit.
* VictoryPose: Can be unlocked from chests. After winning a round, all members of the winning team are shown in their victory pose, with the round's MVP being put front and center.
