* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The Dreamer comes from outside of Phantasia, having ended up there through unknown means and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia without any memory of where they came from]]. Heroes Dorothy, Alice, and Marie also came from beyond, though their own attempts to leave Phantasia have been met with failure as explained in the Chapter 12 sub path, where the former two describe being dissolved while hearing discordant voices when they got stuck in between worlds; Marie heard from Nutcracker that this is known as the "Mnemosyne Boundary".

* PowerEqualsRarity: While heroes of higher rarity will have skills and traits that grant more effective and unique effects that can overturn the battlefield compared to those of lower rarity, this is held back by not just the comparatively higher cost to upgrade them, but also their deployment cost in a manner similar to ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}''; having too many high-rarity characters in a team can stymie your cost limit, especially when said characters may not be right for certain situations. It's best to field a mix of characters from differing rarities to mitigate the problem.

Grimlight is a anime-style mobile game created by Eight Studio and Gaudium and was released in July of 2022 for both Android and iOS. The game features a tactical formation style combat system with RPG elements where you collect characters inspired by fairy tales and legends.

You are the Dreamer. You wake up in a strange world you don't recognize with no knowledge of how you got there. Only a strangely familiar-looking girl is there to meet you. She tells the Dreamer that her job is to protect you and that she is sorry but there is no time to explain properly because the world you both currently inhabit is collapsing and will fall soon into the void. You must both quickly escape, fleeing the destruction and fighting off the terrifying shadow creatures called Dreamless, the girl takes the dreamer to a chamber that holds a large gem called the Dreamstone. Touching the stone teleports you to a new world.
