History Characters / BloodlineChampions

* ShoutOut: His [[{{Terminator}} T-800 Prototype]] outfit.

* NatureSpirit: Nature's Companion is described as making a forest wisp travel to a location.

* SupernaturalMartialArts: Their basic Roundhouse Kick ability skirts this trope for some by dashing awfully far twice despite holding an enormous sword, but their old Explosive Kick ability took this UpToEleven by knocking back enemies hit, doing the same dashing three times, ''and'' doing much more damage in an area of effect. It was replaced by Spell Block Kick, which manages to be a very weird version of this trope as well.

* JumpPhysics: Jumps high in the air, twice, with the Frog Leap ability, dealing damage to a target when they hit the ground each time. To make more sense, the damage is entirely from them hitting an enemy rather than the impact of the fall.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. The Grimrog's main attack ability doesn't do much damage, but casts and cooldowns down exceptionally fast to let them keep mobile against you and his main healing ability can also apply negative effects to enemies that will only work if they are affected by curses that you place on them from hitting other offensive abilities on them.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. [[GameBreaker The ultimate]] of the Psychopomp makes them especially dangerous to your health.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. Heralds may not be the best one-on-one bloodline, but are far from helpless.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. Due to the Dryad's lack of escapes or easily-used crowd-control effects, she is fairly dependent on maintaining Confidence stacks from her main attack ability to dodge and evade the enemy.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. The Blood Priest will actually [[CastFromHitpoints lose some health]] from casting their main healing ability (though still pretty easily taken care of by just healing himself) unless stacks of Darkness from using their main attack ability is maintained in combat.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. Especially since his main attack ability is melee range.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. Other bloodlines may generally win against them if fighting one-on-one, but they won't make it easy on you.

* {{Multishot}}: An ability [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin called that]]. It knocks back and slows targets hit.
** [[ArrowsOnFire One on fire]], doing a chunk of damage and setting the area where it hit an enemy alight to cause extra damage while they are inside it. [[OneHitPolyKill Pierces through enemies.]]
** When Marksmanship is on, the ability changes to an Explosive Arrow, dealing more up front damage and knocking back on impact in a small area, but doesn't burn the ground or pierce through enemies.
** [[RainOfArrows A rain of them]] onto a circle causing an ice effect, freezing enemies hit until damaged again and slowing them or any which enter in the area.
*** When Marksmanship is active, the ice arrow turns to a projectile that is fired in a direction, but the freezing effect lacks much longer.

* SuperMode: The Marksmanship ultimate resets all the Seeker's cooldowns, increases movement speed by 25%, makes their basic ranged attack travel and have a longer range, turns fire arrow into an explosive arrow, and ice arrow fires as a projectile that freezes much longer.

* BlowYouAway: Not stated in their background, but their abilities imply this.
* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: The Nomad's abilities can make a few tornadoes. Tornado Call makes an enemy hit by it be stuck up in the air while functionally being invincible for it's 3.2 second duration while an EX slows and damages enemies inside it. If you are not the person hit by it for the former ability, it does not effect you. If you are outside it's immediate radius which is shown by the tornado graphic for the latter, it also does not effect you.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Half of the Nomad's abilities (though they use an actual boomerang, unlike the Guardian). The Nomad can throw ''two'' at once in different arcs and have them come back on the paths the other one travelled.
* SpamAttack: The Nomad's ultimate consists of throwing many boomerangs really fast for it's duration.

* ButtMonkey: The Igniter serves an unfortunate for a few bloodline items, such as being tied to the a stick to be on the back of the Master Chef Glutton outfit or shackled to the shield of the Vanguard's Sacrificial Armament weapon (still moving).

* PlayingWithFire: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Igniter's]] MOS.

* MoreDakka: The Engineer's ultimate ability is firing a machine gun. While its 3 second duration makes it unlikely you'll be allowed to do the entire thing, it's maximum potential damage is a significant 144 in a game where the health ranges to 160-210.

* AllEncompassingMantle: Though certain parts of it are strapped to the Stalker's arms, presumedly to allow movement. The Stalker's Cloak ability implies it may be capable of acting as armour since it removes a debuff when ability and reduces damage for it's duration.

* InvisibilityCloak: The Shadow Cloak EX ability. It normally reduces damagein the slot that's not an EX.

* SuperMode: Their ultimate teleports them to a location, and applies an 8-second effect on themr that increases the damage of their next basic attack, and causes hitting with their basic attack to reset the cooldown of their teleporting Deviate ability (which also increases their damage for a short time after using). Casting Deviate during the duration of the ultimate resets the aforementioned affect.

* FlashStep: Their EX, damaging and locking the cooldowns of enemies hit in the path.

* SpinAttack: The Whirling Blade ability incapacitates enemies hit while causing 12 damage, and the Spear Master's ultimate, Whirlwind, does it for an extended amount of time while the Spear Master cannot be stopped from moving save for death while using it.

* SupernaturalMartialArts: Their basic Roundhouse Kick ability skirts this trope for some by dashing awfully far twice despite holding an enormous sword, but their Explosive Kick ability takes this UpToEleven by knocking back enemies hit, doing the same dashing three times, ''and'' doing much more damage in an area of effect.

* HitboxDissonance: It's been found some ranged attacks will reflect back to you if you're being damaged by the Spinning Strike ability, even if it's hitting you from behind and you're trying to shoot in the opposite direction.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. The Grimrog's main attack ability doesn't do much damage, but casts and cooldowns down exceptionally fast to let them keep mobile against you and his main healing ability can also apply negative effects to enemies that will only work if they are affected by effects that you requires you to use other offensive abilities on them first.

* TimeMaster: Though not as powerful as other examples, part of his powers is explained from manipulation of time.

* CombatMedic: Standard for healers in ''BloodlineChampions''. The Blood Priest will actually [[CastFromHitpoints lose some health]] from casting their main healing ability unless stacks of Darkness from using their main attack ability is maintained in combat.

* BadassBookworm: The Astronomer's abilities seem to be from a sort of LightEmUp and other astronomical powers, but it actually happens from the use of scientific tools that are very carefully calibrated.

* ShoutOut: Two of the Reaver's abilities have the exact same names as two from the Pandaren Brewmaster from ''{{Warcraft}} 3: The Frozen Throne'' (and possibly the Pandaren Brewmaster character Mangix from DefenseOfTheAncients since it has the same names for similar abilities) - Drunken Haze and Drunken Brawler.

* StopHelpingMe: The Voodoo EX ability can cause this onto you. If it hits you, it applies Dark Voodoo. This turns healing done on you into damage against you for a short duration up to 170 damage.

* ShoutOut: The Stormcaller's ultimate has him shoot lightning out of his hands for the duration. It is named [[StarWars Emperor's Wrath]]. Yelling out "POWERRRRR! UNLIMITED POWERRRRRR!" is not mandatory during use, but we understand if you want to.

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: The Vanguard's look harkens to the look of a samurai. Almost all of the Vanguard's outfits include two flags strapped to their back not unlike a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sashimono sashimono]] [[hottip:*:The Armoured Vanguard only has one flag, the Female Vanguard lacks any flags]]. The basic outfit has his hair tied in a ponytail above his head to resemble [[http://manlycurls.com/blog_new/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/samurai-hairstyle-japanese-men1.jpg the style frequently used by]] ToshiroMifune, uses shoulder-pads that are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hon_kozane_dou_gusoku.jpg distinctly longer than wider]], has sandals whose straps are clearly taking the shape of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geta_(footwear) geta]], and wears a fairly large and hanging fauld fitting the style of a samurai's.

* CounterAttack: Hitting them while they are using Reflect is pretty much this. An old ability of theirs, Van's Guard, reduced damage they themselves or an ally took for the duration. It was the Vanguard's main source of damage since it was their main source of Rage at the time.
* EverythingsBetterwithSamurai: The Vanguard's look (shoulder-pads coming straight up off the arm it's attached to, sandals clearly taking the Japanese shape of being worn between the big toe and one next to it with the straps going around the foot from there, has a top-knot, and wears two flags on his back) harkens to the look of a samurai.
* FoeTossingCharge: His Intercept EX ability drags an enemy with him, stuns them, and gives the Vanguard Rage for an extra damaging hit while you're stunned. His Heroic Charge ultimate deals damage based on how far the Vanguard travelled before impact and incapacitates enemies near the impact spot.
* FanDisservice: The default male Vanguard has a paunch... and the female Vanguard is more or less the same size.

* {{Samurai}}: Clearly meant to resemble one. Almost all of the Vanguard's outfits include two flags strapped to their back not unlike a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sashimono sashimono]] [[hottip:*:The Armoured Vanguard only has one flag, the Female Vanguard lacks any flags]]. The basic outfit has his hair tied in a ponytail above his head to resemble [[http://manlycurls.com/blog_new/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/samurai-hairstyle-japanese-men1.jpg the style frequently used by]] ToshiroMifune, uses shoulder-pads that are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hon_kozane_dou_gusoku.jpg distinctly longer than wider]], and wears a fairly large fauld fitting the style of a samurai's.

* BadassLongHair: All of the Spear Master outfits.

* BadassLongHair: On the Officer outfit.

* BadassLongHair: Comes with their Officer outfit.

** An ability in which they jump into the air and strike when they land is called [[FinalFantasy Dragoon Strike]].
** One can't help but think of [[FinalFantasyX Auron]] when they see Reaver's Renegade outfit...

* CounterAttack: Hitting them while they are using Reflect is pretty much this. An old ability of theirs, [[IncrediblyLamePun Van's Guard]] reduced damage themself or an ally took for the duration,. It was the Vanguard's main source of damage since it was their main source of Rage at the time.

* EvilIsSexy: Why else could the Corrupted Metal Warden be even more {{Fanservice}}y?

* TierInducedScrappy: Whether a person think Thorns are overpowered are not, their ease of play makes them hated by many players, especially with the intention of the game's skill-based multiplayer.

* {{Expy}}: She turns into a ball and uses an ArmCannon. The Metal Warden is totally [[{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] - even has a similar haircut.

* TierInducedScrappy: Nomads are hated for their excessive amount of boomerang attacks, making it easy to land since you have to dodge them ''twice''.

* BFS: You read 'oversized sword', right?

* DemonicSpiders: With their high speed, damage, mobility and a reasonable amount of crowd control, they can be heavily annoying to play against if you keep missing.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Due to a hat, shoulder-length hair, poofy pant legs, well-covered torso and a scarf on their neck blocking her chin, many players don't realize immdediately the default Alchemist is female.

* TheArcher: There, that's the Seeker in a nutshell.

* HeroicResolve: His Battle shout used to be a short-term damage bonus, a movement speed bonus, and ''being unkillable''. It was changed to heal himself and nearby allies for a flat amount along with a percentage of the health they've currently personally lost, slows enemies for a short while, and gives the Vanguard a Rage stack; increased by how many enemies he's hit.

* ScreamingWarrior: Four out of their nine abilities has them yell.

* CounterAttack: SubvertedTrope by the Lightning Shield ability. The ability will do more damage around you and heal you for more the less damage the shield takes by the end of its duration.

* BadassNormal: Thematically this, though their in-game abilities imply a wind magic to them.

* MundaneUtility: The Igniter bloodline sets his enemies on fire in the game, but their real job is to teleport around their people's underground city, maintaining the torches.
* OneHitPolykill: The Fire Beam EX and ultimate hits through enemies.

* HollywoodVoodoo: The Grim's flavor, though he has no [[{{VoodooDoll}s Voodoo Dolls]].

* MusicalAssasin: Her Song of Despair ability is her main attack ability, she heals mostly with Soothing Melody, and her Suggestive Tune allows her to temporarily control you.

!!Blood Priest
Able to control the flow of blood through dark perverted magic, the Blood Priest is both a benevolent healer to his team, and a dark twisted plague on the enemy.

* FatBastard: he has unambiguously evil powers and is absurdly fat.

!!Seeker
Illusionary tricks coupled with different elemental shots makes the Seeker a resourceful and cunning ranged marksman, able to hunt down any prey on the battlefield.

* HollywoodVoodoo: The Grim's flavour, though he has no [[{{VoodooDoll}s Voodoo Dolls]].

!!Psychopomp
The Psychopomps control the battlefield through healing and powerful debilitating effects. While weak on their own, their abilities make allied attacks more effective.

* BadassBookworm: Their abilities seem to be all from (sort of...) scientific concoctions. Though the Barrier ability might break that trend.

* StaffChick: AvertedTrope by the default being male, arguably more played straight by the female outfit.

* StaffChick: [[SubvertedTrope The default skin is male, and doesn't seem to be a very kind or helpful person.]]

* StaffChick: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], the default Astronomer is male and attacks in melee with a [[RingsOfDeath large circular blade]].

* StaffChick: The default Alchemist's sex, healing role and staff arguably plays this straight.

* StaffChick: Arguably played straight with the basic skin.
