* SkillGateCharacter: Compared to the likes of Henrietta, who needs to be reasonably well-upgraded, and Evil Ash, who relies on setting the battlefield up to do most of his damage, Eligos is the easiest to just pick up and play. And for the first couple of matches for a new player, he's quite a powerhouse who can ride the Possession train with ease due to his increased Fear generation and plethora of ways to do tons of area-of-effect damage that shreds Survivor groups. However, his pressuring capabilities fall off sharply when coming up against more experienced Survivors, who can manage their Fear better, know how to negate his mooks' explosions with takedowns, and dodge out of his Thunderstruck, Eligos becomes a pushover instead due to how limited his damage potential is. His units' lackluster survivability and low damage without their on-death explosions also leave a lot to be desired. As such, it's significantly rarer to be matched up with a high-level Puppeteer in online play than the other two, and even rarer still to be pitted against one who can actually demolish groups instead of the other way around.

* AdaptationalWimp: Whereas his counterpart in the series is effectively immortal unless banished by the Necronomicon or damaged by his own powers, and in the former case could simply BodySurf into a nearby mortal as he did with [[spoiler:Pablo]] at the midpoint of season two, the playable Baal is as physically vulnerable to gunfire and melee attacks as his minions, cannot jump to a host to save himself, and can be driven off after taking enough damage. Additionally, his talons have also lost most of their lethality in the name of gameplay balancing, as they can no longer flay his victims instantly and only act as conventional claws to slash them with.

* FlunkyBoss: All of the boss units qualify. Despite their overall greater presence, boss units are only tough to deal with if they can keep pressure on the Survivors, and on their own can be rather easily defeated if the rest of the group gang up on them. This gave rise to the need for additional mooks to screen for them, and Evil Ash in particular is at his deadliest when he can have a pile of skeletons to reanimate and buff with his skill.
Added DiffLines:
* FlunkyBoss: Although he can be a pretty effective frontline unit, Evil Ash works best when he's entrenched behind a wall of mooks that he can reanimate and buff with the skeletal flutist to overwhelm the Survivors with. It would be a cold day in hell if a lone Necromancer ever tries going up against a whole group without his entourage, since even with Irreparable Damage, he can only withstand so much punishment before going down and setting the Demon back a lot of infernal energy.

* LargeAndInCharge: Boss units generally have a larger visual profile to them, to differentiate them from their common mooks.
