History VideoGame / GrandSummoners

* BossBanter: Some bosses have at least a greeting quote and a defeat quote on the status box.

** Nui Harime wears an eyepatch designed like a mix of the Japanese ideograms for her first name. She might have lost her eye to a wrinkly old man, but don't take a HumanoidAbomination like her lightly...

* EyepatchOfPower: Ganan wears an eyepatch and is the Reigard branch guild master.

* AwesomeButImpractical: When Clyde is upgraded to 5 stars, his Art changes from charging a sword beam of fire and swinging it into the opponent to slashing three times and turning into a flame missile to send the opponent sky-high. While it is powerful and cool-looking, this super move is ''very unwieldy''. Timing it to interrupt enemy Arts is terribly difficult, meaning most of the time you would be protecting ''the enemy'' from the rest of the party by pushing it away! Furthermore, you are forced to use it at point-blank range to even hit the missile, in a chaotic game where you can't directly control character movement... [[HitboxDissonance except its hitbox is so broken]] that either it will somehow still miss or let enemies slip off mid-flight.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: Rayas is granted his ultimate form by Goddess Iris to face Marzex at the end of Quest mode... [[CutscenePowerToTheMax in a cutscene]]. This does not affect his playable form at all, and it's in fact ''impossible'' to play as maxed out Rayas upon first playing that mission because the item that unlocks it is only obtained afterwards!

* ExactWords: The game sometimes advertises 50% greater drop rates on the characters people actually want. Of course, 50% of zero is still zero.

* LightIsNotGood: Nui Harime from ''Kill la Kill'' is one of the most bubbly dark-type units in the game, with her deceptively friendly appearance, pink dress and parasol. However, the game downplays this by making the illustration of her profile card one where she's got a [[GameFace wide snake-like smile]] with ScaryTeeth and a dark shapeshifting artificial limb where her left arm should be.

* RedIsHeroic: Rayas dresses in Red and is the main protagonist of the story.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Saitama from ''One Punch Man'' is a playable character. He's beatable and cannot knock out your units in a single hit, but he also doesn't react to damage at all and simply leaves while waving goodbye if he runs out of HP.

** The game's battles can be set to automated mode, with the characters using skills whenever appropriate. This effect on Arts can be toggled on or off separetely on each character, as some are best used at specific times. Also, automatic use of arts and equipment only activates during boss battles even if the enemies on the way give the party a hard time, so you can't just leave high difficulty missions running alone from the beginning.

* BribingYourWayTOVictory: You can purchase crystals with real money and use them in truckloads to bet on gacha and brute-force difficult quests. Purchased crystals actually count as a separate category from ones obtained in-game for the purposes of gacha betting.

* LuckBasedMission: It's a darn gacha game. Success depends on whether you get powerful characters and items from random summons or not.

* GameBreakingBug: The game is known to frequently break and completely fail to download update files after connecting to its server regardless of the player's internet connection performance or available space on the phone.
