* ArtificialStupidity: AI squads with composed almost entirely of cavalry or melee infantry will sometimes waste a turn inflicting minimal damage from long range with its single archer unit.

* LovableRogue: After the EvilChancellor has the protagonist thrown in jail, they're rescued by Stefan, a charming thief working alongside a paladin in order to free prisoners from unjust punishments (in addition to raiding coffers).
* MauveShirt: When hiring new units from Barracks in order to build up each character's squad, there's a chance that one of the game's seventeen "Unique Mercenaries" will appear, who have special titles (like "Warlord" Tartar and Teriq "the Wicked") and pre-set classes and abilities instead of randomly generated ones.

* TheMutiny: [[spoiler: Most of the main character's companions turn against him during chapter 29, in a mutiny led by Lysander. Thankfully it gets resolved without any character deaths.]]
* ThePaladin: A tier 3 upgrade for militia classes

* SquishyWizard: The Apprentice and Siren classes, along with their respective upgrades, are typical unarmored spell casters, capable of dealing out major damage, but can easily be one-shotted if hit by melee weapons.

* WhiteMagicianGirl: The female medic is the game's default healer unit, and the only one that's an exclusive healer besides Lysander. She can follow the exclusive healer tier to Hospitaller, Priestess, or Templar, or she can become a hybird healer/fighter by becoming a Valkyrie.

* ThePaladin: A tier 3 upgrade for militia and medic classes

* Sizeshifter: Diana eventually gains the ability to turn into a massive Titan when she goes into battle.

* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:After the Chancellor kills the Empress and pins the crime on the protagonist, he immediately takes control of the Empire.]]

* UpThroughTheRanks: Once a tier 1 unit maxes out their CP, they can be promoted to squad leader.

* StrongGirlSmartGuy: Diana the mighty giantess and Stefan the cunning rogue.

* ModularEpilogue: The Version 1.01 Patch elected to [[MultipleEndings remove the "Bad" ending]], deeming that the way of getting it and its tone did not mesh well with the rest of the game, and replace it with adding various Epilogues based on who the main character's strongest [[RelationshipValues Bonds]] are with.

* RelationshipValues: By fighting alongside each other in battle and then witnessing their Conversations from the base menu, units can be paired up from C to A-Rank relationships, which grant bonuses when fighting alongside each other in battle. Not every Bond is romantic, as they include Family and Friend relationships.

* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: Firearms can only be used against adjacent enemy units, making them essentially indistinguishable from melee weapons in the game. Even longer range weapons such as bows can only be used against an enemy one tile away (except when the range is extended by terrain or structural factors).

In ''The Nephilim Saga'', you play as a recent graduate of the military academy of the Empire of Veridia. The empire had been subjected to recent hardships, and just as it seems that its current Empress is ushering in a new age of peace, a rogue General abducts her from the capital. Tasked with her rescue, the graduate soon becomes wrapped up in a chain of events that will reshape not just the Empire, but the very foundations of the world of Tahnra.

* EvilChancellor: One of the first objectives of the story is to put down an uprising organized by a famed general, but as soon as you've defeated him, the kingdom's chancellor accuses ''you'' of plotting your ''own'' rebellion and has you arrested on the spot. [[spoiler:And then, as you're being taken out of the room by guards, he just outright stabs Empress Florina in the back and pins the blame on you.]]
