Playing With / In Case of Boss Fight, Break Glass

Go To

Basic Trope: The foe's weak point is made of glass.

  • Straight: Grambot has a glass dome on its abdomen covering the Power Charm inside. To defeat it, you need to smash the glass.
  • Exaggerated: Grambot is covered in small glass domes and panes, all of which cover delicate circuitry elements.
  • Downplayed: Grambot's glass dome is made of reinforced glass and only takes ten percent more damage when hit there as opposed to the steel.
  • Justified: The glass dome is covering cameras, a pilot, or something else that needs to see out of the mechanism.
  • Inverted: Grambot is made entirely of reinforced glass. To destroy it, you need to tear through the singular gold plate on its back.
  • Subverted: Grambot has a glaring glass dome on its abdomen with an important-looking charm inside. Unfortunately for you, when you smash the glass to grab the charm, it traps you inside and electrocutes you.
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: There is no glass.
  • Enforced: Grambot is a character in an advertisement for Glamour Glasswork Inc. In the advertisement, Grambot's glass weak point is easily broken, meanwhile the nearly-identical Glambot (whose glass point was made by Glamour Glasswork) is invulnerable to the same attacks.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
