Baleful Polymorph is no longer a trope


* BalefulPolymorph: Plume's brother, the King of Schwert Kingdom, was turned into a Goose thanks to a cursed goose statue (he loves birds, and so set the statue near his bed; the first time he went to sleep, he awoke cursed). He's surprisingly nonchalant about it, as is everyone else.

* EarlyGameHell: After introducing the Skirmish mechanic in a mission where the opposing army is Level 1, the following stage is a second Skirmish with the opposing army at Level 7 and the player (and character brigades) likely only around Level 3-4. The best way through this is to enter the Skirmish, set Defense Formation, and grind experience on the enemy squads until the player brigades can level up enough to win. After powering through that, more Combat missions become available and the learning curve levels out to avoid needing to grind a lot of experience.

* ComedicSociopathy: Plume frequently talks about wanting to eat her brother(as in LITERALLY cook him), and almost everyone is not only nonchalant but outright okay with eating Sigurth's pet ducks(to the point where [[spoiler: Plume's reason for chasing down Luise becomes less about attempting to apprehend/kill her because she's a traitor to Armatura, and more to retrieve "Duck #1, 479"...

Really, though, there's so many other cases of ComedicSociopathy that it's pretty much the entire story's brand of humor.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: At first glance, the setting seems like a very colorful fairy tale world with a ditzy princess as the game's main lead. However, said world is overrun by monsters and occasionally, Ancient Weapons in the form of giant hulking creatures wreak havoc and would easily destroy everything in it's path had it not been for our heroes.
