History VideoGame / ArmorBlitz

* CloningBlues: due to the collectable nature of the game, a player will end up obtaining the same character multiple times.

* UpToEleven: It is possible for some characters to reach evasion or accuracy stats of over 100% using skills or certain combinations of emblems. Which is handy since the two stats oppose each other.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This is already obvious by a number of characters that have personalized stories compared to the ones that don't. Right now about 25% of the characters have stories written.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: While most of the girls have reasonable hair colors, some of the characters have blue, purple and green hair.

* MilitaryMoe: What VideoGame/KantaiCollection was for ships, this game is for tanks.

* HistoricalInJoke: After defeating the enemy fortress commander Maginot, Evie thinks it would have been easier [[DungeonBypass if they had just gone around her]]. [[labelnote:Historical note]]In UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, France had fortifications along the border with Germany called the UsefulNotes/MaginotLine. Instead of attacking it, Germany invaded Belgium (JustAsPlanned) and then crossed into France over the Ardennes, an area of forests and rough terrain (NotAsPlanned).[[/labelnote]]

Introduction
Armor Blitz is a free-to-play mobile and browser game developed by Hainet. The gameplay consists of a mixture of Card Collection and tug-of-war lane based combat. In the game, the player takes the role of the General and is assigned to retake the continent of Factoria from the forces of the Corruption with your army of Moe Anthropomorphic tank girls. Each girl represents a tank from the WWI to Cold war era. The game is single player, featuring a full story mode as well as individual relationship stories for certain characters.

* BoringButPractical: Due to the somewhat Schizophrenic Difficulty of the game, there are battles which give a lot of experience and gold for their difficulty. Since repairing a tank after fighting becomes more expensive the higher the level of the tank, it is way more practical to play battles that are easy but boring rather than playing the more engaging, more difficult, and more expensive ones.

* ColorCodedforYourConvenience: The tanks are color-coded based on their type. While this isn't a clear indication of their role, it gives the player a general idea of what their role could be.

* EpicTankOnTankAction: The whole point of the game, with a healthy dose of Moe added into the mix.

* FakeLongevity: While the game does not artificially inflate the playtime too much, it is still a perpetual design game that uses an energy system (Oil and Metal in this case), and there are some instances of Backtracking involved due to the rate at which the enemy levels up compared to the speed at which the player levels up.

* UpToEleven: It is possible for some characters to reach evasion or accuracy stats of over 100% using skills or certain combinations of emblems.

** AceCustom: Due to the way the game is balanced, there are several tanks ingame which are so high above the power curve that the way the player uses them can alone dictate if the game will be a victory or a defeat.

** AchillesHeel: There are 3 ways a tank can defend itself, High HP, high Armor and High Evasion. Each tank usually excels at one or 2 of these and will be vulnerable to other types of attacks.

** AllegedlyFreeGame: Despite the game being free to play, players who spend real money on the game will have a massive advantage compared to a free rider, that said the game is mostly a single player and this does not affect the balance of the game, Except for the leaderboard mode.

** CloningBlues: due to the collectable nature of the game, a player will end up obtaining the same character multiple times.

** TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Since the AI is rudimentary, the opposing faction has a lot of advantages over the player which become more evident as the player progresses through the game. Advantages such as, more units in a squad, defensive buildings, access to higher levelled units, access to unique units which are generally much stronger than the regular ones, the ability to have duplicate units in the squad, up to 10 times the HP, much higher firepower, and even a full map stun which costs nothing to use and can be used every few shots.

** CriticalExistenceFailure: Not only will a character perform at maximum capacity at 1 HP during a battle, but a character that has not died in battle does not require any repairs afterwards, regardless of how much damage it took.

** CriticalHit: The Game features a critical hit mechanic based on Luck; some tanks can perform much better if the player uses the emblem system to boost their ability to deal critical hits or the damage dealt by these hits.

** DeathOrGloryAttack: Due to the win conditions of the game, depending on the defences the enemy has its possible to use "assassin" Tanks to sneak past the defences in order to finish the boss swiftly. However, this tactic is usually very risky and involves a significant dedication of resources. If the attack fails, the player may not be able to recover.

** EldritchAbomination: It is not yet known what the Corruption enemies are exactly, while some of them seem like the decayed version of other tank girls while some of them are monsters with crystals, claws and giant tentacles.

** GottaCatchThemAll: The game is at the core a collectable game, and as with any collectable game, a player is encouraged to obtain as many unique units as possible.

** HardLevelsEasyBosses: in the early game, bosses have as much or sometimes less HP than most units on the field, the challenge is to get to them and once a player's units are in range and locked on the boss, it's pretty much a guaranteed win.

** HotterAndSexier: The Nutaku version has R18 scenes compared to the normal version of the game.

** ImprobablyFemaleCast: All the characters in the game are girls, excluding the cat infantry and the general.

** JokeCharacter: Private Neko was given out as a joke character to the beta testers. However, in the old meta, it proved to be very useful since it had the lowest cost and the highest evasion of all characters.

** LuckBasedMission: While the gameplay is highly tactical, it is often difficult to execute on a strategy due to the high randomness level of the enemy behaviour, High-level fights can be lost just due to having the bad luck when it comes to the way the enemy deploys its units.

** LevelGrinding: Because of the perpetual design of the game, there is a lot of grinding required to level up your units. This gets heavily noticeable at higher levels, where getting a new level 1 tank will take more and more time to be levelled up to a point where it can be better than anything the player currently has in its squad.

** OlderThanTheyLook: Since these tank girls technically reincarnations of real tanks, some of them may be much older than they look if the frame of reference is current real-world time.

** TheRival: Rena And Tabby may be sisters, but they are always trying to outdo each other in order to attract the general's attention.

** RocketTagGameplay: Since anything that is not a heavy is particularly squishy, artillery and other AOE units with long range are very useful at quickly reducing the enemy numbers.

** SchizophrenicDifficulty: There are many elements that cause the difficulty curve to spike either upwards or downwards. The enemies you will face in any battles you go against have a fixed level and higher level difficulties also have higher rarity tanks, thus giving the enemy a considerable amount of extra power. That said there are some maps at high levels which either have no emplacements or the enemies you will have are of lower rarity, making those battle very easy and are favoured by the player base as being good experience farming zones.
