* CurbstompBattle: Actively encouraged in gameplay.

This often works with VariantPowerCopying rules, as many of the powers gained - like with the aforementioned Lisette's ice powers - aren't used as their former wielder intended.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Lisette might trip up first-time players or players rusty with Bombservice's previous games due to how she can't be shot at from a safe distance with a bow, but she's overall really manageable and telegraphs her attacks well in advance. Her immediate superior, Sister Devoir, however, will pound the player into dust if they don't come into the battle prepared. Her main combo is intentionally deceptive, since she can choose between keeping it to two hits, taking on a third hit, or even adding a fourth hit that comes out incredibly fast, all meant to punish fighting aggressively. Her magical shockwave punishes panic jumping, since it ''needs'' to be dodged, and she also punishes jumping with a crescent slash she may use instead of her normal combo.

She's meant to teach the player the importance of noticing tells, since the only 'safe' way to go at her is to attack her during the long cooldowns for most of her combo finishers and her spells.

Now, ItsUpToYou to rescue the Princess Amelia, thwart the witches' ceremony and do everything necessary to protect the common-folk from heresy. However, as you begin to achieve these goals, it soon turns out that there's a lot more than meets the eye...

* BadassBoast: Sister Devoir gets one in this memorable exchange before her boss battle.
--> '''Semilla''': ''Surrender yourself, witch!''
--> '''Devoir''': ''Are you not going to address me by my convent name, sister?''
--> '''Semilla''': ''I said, surrender! You are not worthy!''
--> '''Devoir''': ''My worth is not going to be decided by your Church, Sister. For too long you've plagued this land with your faith. It sickens me how boundless your cruelty can be.''
--> '''Semilla''': ''As commanded by the Saints! Our acts reflect their will!''
--> '''Devoir''': ''Do something of your own accord, for once. Your Church should have no place in this world, and no one to adore it. Such rotten faith should not exist.''

* DarkActionGirl: Nearly every boss is one.
* FlashStep: Sister Devoir can flash a couple of steps forwards or backwards to avoid attacks.
* {{Gainaxing}}: The breasts of Princess Amelia move visibly even while she's just standing still and breathing. The Witch of Lust's assets shake with her every move.
* GrayAndBlackMorality: You see how ruthless the witches can be from the get-go, as they storm the convent and murder every nun they come across. On the other hand, you soon learn from the conversations and lore that the Church of the land is just as eager to burn anyone they consider a heretic at stake, and that they were the ones who started the war with the intent to genocide the witches in the first place.
* GroundPound: The Witch of Lust can briefly fly upwards and offscreen before landing onto Semilla's last location with a damaging pound.
** [[spoiler:Princess Poeme]] has a really powerful version, where she flies high in the air and then does a ThreePointLanding that generates magical shockwaves across pretty much the entire screen.
* AnIcePerson: The first boss, Blossoming Witch Lisette, attacks mainly through generating large ice crystals.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Pretty much every named character in the story is female. The exception is Olivier, a minor antagonist who gets little screentime [[spoiler: before getting stabbed by his own "ally" for incompetence.]]
* LastSecondEndingChoice: After defeating [[spoiler: Princess Poeme]] either [[spoiler: Sister Semilla allows Princess Amelia to finish off her wounded sister, or she and Fran stand up to her, but she proceeds to murder both Poeme and Sister Fran, before being subdued in a short "boss" battle.]]

While she still has a boss-sized health bar, her attacks are slow and weak and she goes down very quickly.
* ShockwaveStomp: Sister Devoir can gesture to generate a wave of red energy along the floor.
* SadBattleMusic: ''Every'' boss theme is sad. Special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aTSCEeA8ew Decisive Battle]], which is played during the battle with Sister Devoir, and starts off heroically, but then quickly takes on a much more sorrowful tone.

* SwordLines: Sister Devoir wields a two-handed black sword, and so every swing with it leaves dark lines through the air.
* TurnsRed: Downplayed. Due to the game's somber tone, the "transformations" are subdued and viewed less as something powerful and more as an act of desperation.
** The first boss, Blossoming Witch Lisette, prays for protection from Mother Saora, one of witches' deities, halfway through the fight, and gets somewhat stronger attacks.
