* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Eli had no criminal ties to any of the three main factions prior to the creation of the Saints. Despite this he is perfectly willing to help the other three in low level heists in order to pay rent.

* TheBrute: Los Panteros are an entire gang of Brutes, being the types to use [[MoreDakka heavy firearms]], or [[DropTheHammer sledgehammers]] to beat their enemies into submission. Their specialists are exclusively hand-to-hand combatants capable of using grappling takedowns on their opponents.

* SixthRanger: He becomes functionally a full member of the team after being recruited, right down to having his own loyalty upgrades, being able to be called in via the Contacts app, and even hanging out at the Saints HQ in his own aloof way.

Despite only using a pistol, his [=DPS=] seems to be a lot higher than the other Saints lieutenants, and if called in via the Contacts app he can clear out enemy groups quite effectively.

* NonActionGuy: At the beginning, since - as Eli himself puts it - he prefers to have "metaphorical blood on [his] hands". That being said, after taking a bullet to the gut, he eventually grows past his stance on gun control and even graduates to using an assault rifle after the events of "Shoot the Shit", [[SubvertedTrope subverting]] this altogether.

That said, when called in for assistance via the Contacts app, Eli is noticeably less aggressive in a fight than Kevin or Neenah and is more useful for drawing aggro rather than actually killing lots of enemies.



* TheBigGuy: Physically the strongest of the Saints lieutenants, as he easily knocked out a man with a left hook. Understandable, given he spends a lot of time in the gym and is careful about what he eats.

He also seems to be the most effective in a fight when called in via the Contacts app with his D4th Blossom [=SMG=], with only the SixthRanger [[spoiler:the Nahualli]] killing enemies more quickly.


Added DiffLines:

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: After doing her loyalty missions, she'll upgrade from her old Panteros .44 magnum revolver to a stagecoach shotgun. It deals high damage, but needs to be reloaded after every shot,

* DamageSpongeBoss: With her combined health and armor, plus her ability to restore her health twice by cheating, in total she's got about twice the durability of the game's FinalBoss.
* FinalBoss: She's the final opponent of the Dustlander sidequest chain.



* BigBad: She serves as the main antagonist of the ''A Song of Ice and Dust'' DLC and manages to get on the bad side of nearly ever other character almost immediately due to her leading her forces in a surprise attack against the heavily weakened members of the Houses Sandy Kraken and Phoenix, resulting in a massacre. Even though it technically wasn't against any rules it's still considered to have been a "major dick move" by the other players.

to:

* AllYourPowersCombined: As she's stolen the Artifacts of Power from each of the Houses, she can use them all during her boss fight, namely the Bowelrod's roar, Mass Resurrect from the Phoenix Egg, and invulnerability from the Giant Bones.

Even though it technically wasn't against any rules it's still considered to have been a "major dick move" by the other players. The Dustfaire [=NPC=]s and officials all team up with Bossonius to help them defeat her despite being neutral in the competition between the Houses.
* FinalBoss: Of the ''A Song of Ice and Dust'' DLC. Her durability is comparable to the FinalBoss of the main game, plus she can only be damaged when her invulnerability from the Giant Bones is down.
* FlunkyBoss: She's fought alongside an entourage of Frostlanders, including a Yeti MiniBoss. She can also repeatedly revive them all during the fight.



* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being quite heavyset, he's as agile as any other of the playable contestants.

* LifeDrain: His special ability lets him restore health by damaging enemies when it's active. The downside is that this makes him the only playable contestant without an offensive area-of-effect special attack.


Added DiffLines:

* CloseRangeCombatant: Her sawed-off shotgun means she's limited to close range combat, but she has more health than other playable contestants to compensate (starting with 4 health bars instead of 3). Her immunity to fire also means she doesn't take damage from being on fire and can even set enemies on fire by running or rolling into them.


Added DiffLines:

* MoreDakka: His default weapons are a pair of dual-wielded submachine guns with very high magazine capacity but poor accuracy. He can spray out ''a lot'' of bullets, but can't manage very accurate fire at range.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: He has his own Japanese-themed boss music.
