** Rebirthing in Battle Arena. It resets your Rank back to 50 (out of 500), but increases your stat caps. Getting back to 500 is a tedious affair since a lot of your [[LevelLockedLoot rank-locked equipment]] becomes unavaiable to equip again, and the climb back is not easy even ''with'' the Arena EXP boosts provided. You can consume a Potion of Regrets to gain back most of the lost Arena EXP but you can only buy one Potion of Regrets per month.

* ScrappyMechanic: Trying to load decks in [=TukkunFCG=]? The game will simply fail to load if so much as one card is missing. It would be far less frustrating if the game would just let you load an incomplete deck. Battle Arena is at least kind enough to fill up your skills as much as it can if you don't have enough Skill Points, while warning you that your build is incomplete so you can make adjustments as needed.

* {{Speedrun}}: The game does have a leaderboards on Kongregate, and it does track how long you take in each ascension, so this is possible. However, a true 100% speedrun of the game has been infamously theorized, and is notable for being perhaps one of the longest speedruns, '''period''', knocking games such as ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'' out of the park to the point where they seem speedy. [=EZScape=] touches upon the subject [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL4oV6yqhFA here]], and the ''only'' game in his video that has been suspected to take longer is a true 100% speedrun of ''VideoGame/YuGiOhForbiddenMemories''. To give a rundown of how bad an idea this would be:
** Ascending enough times to max out all of the permanent bonuses and obtain all the perks.
** Rebirthing enough times in the [=BA=] to not only get the associated quest to S-rank, but also having to grind back to Rank 500 every single time sans the monthly limit for the Potion of Regrets
** Getting every main quest to S-rank, as well as every achievement; in of itself prone to issues due to some quests being ''very'' demanding (such as [Quest] Random Quests and [Arena] Invisible Ally <2> to name two very problematic ones)
** A large chunk of the time is getting all Bestiary entries to their max level and every [=IA=] to ultra ally status, which has issues in of itself due to how certain enemies in [=BA=] work
** Unlocking short raids for the Defend/Prehistoric Missions/Secret Dungeon, which are locked behind the [[NintendoHard MEGA raids]].
** A complete museum in [=BA=], likely excluding 0 [=CP=] items as they are [[PermanentlyMissableContent usually only available in older versions of the game or are exclusive to certain users]], and thusly unobtainable in a run.
** Getting Level 200 on every career, Level 200 on your pet, Level 200 Cyborg, max level Printer, max level Epic Skills, max [=LOLMarket=] cap, all 75 Grade 12 plots in the garden, every Unranked Arcade upgrade, getting max resources at least once on ''every'' currency (besides [[PermanentlyMissableContent the now removed Red Coins]]), the list goes on with things you'll have to level up and max out besides yourself.
** Getting every rod, every stadium hat, 7 of every [=TukkunFCG=] card, every shop item, every mystery shop item, every fishing item, and many more everythings to collect.
** All this, everything we mentioned on various other sections on this page both above and below, and ''more'', under a strict time limit of being "as fast as possible", and on a game that is ''still being updated'', so the run could be blatantly extended at any given point, meaning you could potentially play this for ''even more'' after your run has been "finished". You could potentially play the game your whole life and only achieve true 100% once a good portion of it has passed, and then have to jump back in if it gets updated again.

* ThatOneAchievement: Finger Breaker requires you to reach a 10k combo on the Button Machine. You'll have to repair machine once in a while, and you have to do it fast enough or the combo will be lost. Needless to say, there's quite the room to make a costly mistake.

**All of the "Area Kills" achievements outside of the ones before Night Forest, Dark Pyramid, Special Arena, and the Secret Lab, are practically impossible to get through natural progression. All of them besides the ones mention (Dark Pyramid is the exception, but given [[ZergRush the theme of the raid,]] getting 10,000 kills there is a cinch) take upwards of thousands, if not TENS of thousands, of kills to gain. Even if you return to them with max spawn rate and the power to OneHitKill the enemies, it can still take hours of idling to gain even one of them.

In a more straightforward example, idle play will either be done strictly offline, or via Fishing.

** Originally, to unlock the Advanced Drawing Board in ''Battle Arena'', you had to get 1,000,000 Battle Points. You earn one BP each time you rank up, and you top out at Rank 500, which can take a while to get there. Eventually, this was abolished and the Advanced Drawing Board was simply made available to everyone who gets to the Secret Beach, which simply requires getting to Rank 40.

* DifficultySpike:
** At first, raising Dragon Boost by 1% only requires feeding the Dragon 5 times. However, at 250%, you will start needing to feed him ''250 times'' to increase your Boost.
** Career levels 101 to 200 require a LOT more EXP than the first 100 levels. The same can be said about Simulation Cyborg and Pet.

Looking back, none of these things are really game breakers. Supply crates are massively useful, but not game breaking. Stun seems much shorter than the 1 second I predicted, and still wouldn't be game breaking. Lastly, Kongpanions are more Disc One Nuke, as they're horrendous compared to mid-game I As.


* GameBreaker:
** Supply Crates. They give a ton of, basically, everything. You easily gain them every 500 levels, and by certain levels of careers.
** In Stadium's Item Fight, Stun stops all enemies for 3 seconds. COMPLETELY! The only thing they can do is use the boost pad and probably slam into a block.
** Kongpanion [=IAs=] are usually better than the normal [=IAs=]. Especially if you get a shiny one.

* BreatherBoss: Among the Tukkun FCG Legendary Monsters, Bahumut is this. Their entire strategy is to toss out dragons and boost them with berserks. That's about it. Just bring some monster killers, some stat boosts (Which they have nothing to counter), and maybe some poisons (Which they also have nothing to counter), and they can do pretty much nothing to beat you. For comparison, most [=LMs=] need expensive decks that cost upwards of 200k-400k FCG cash to beat. Bahumut's main counter deck costs ''45k''.
