* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: General Hume, and Lady Hume, in the SpiritWorld alternate timeline.]]
* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler: Becky meets an Alternate!Becky that succeeded in obtaining all six guns, redid the world in her image, and now lives a happy married life with Kirby Hale]].

* EternalRecurrence: [[spoiler: The Six possess the power to destroy the world and replace it with a new one of the user's design, if used together with a liberal application of HumanSacrifice.

* PinkertonDetective: Several are featured, providing their services to lady Hume.

* FortuneTeller: Whoever wields the Sixth Gun, but also a number of other Oracles such as the Gallow Tree.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Griselda's backstory. Once she was just a simple village girl who was chosen to be the annual HumanSacrifice to the [[EldritchAbominations Great Wyrms]]. Instead of eating her, they took her under their wing and made her into a HumanoidAbomination and EvilSorceress that has long since outlived them - and more than one version of the world.

* AstralProjection: One of the Sixth Gun's more advanced uses.

* HumanoidAbomination: Griselda, [[spoiler: eventually graduating into a [[EldritchAbomination giant wyrm]]]].

* ThePaladin: Downplayed. The [[TheOrder Sword of Abraham]] is noble but [[PragmaticHero pragmatic]] and all-too human example of a ChurchMilitant, and while they have a few legitimately holy tricks most of their supernatural power, while light-based, is reliant on what holy object they've managed to acquire over their existence, rather than any sort of divine empowerment.

* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:Drake. When the Six are called forth into this world to bring the apocalypse, so is he, and while he initially comes in with all the memories from the previous apocalypses, they eventually vanish.]]
