** Buying Legendaries from the store. As they cost 40,000 Lien to buy just one, it's ridiculous to pay real money or SPD to get that one.


Added DiffLines:

* DifficultButAwesome:
** The Queen Lancer. Costing 8 Aura, it's the one of the costliest units to launch, meaning if you don't have it early on, it's going to just sit on your deck for quite awhile. However, it is TheJuggernaut of the Epic cards, homing in on structures and can spawn other Lancers to assist or destroy defender units, meaning that if one is unprepared, they could effectively curb stomp you.
** Velvet. She copies weapons and Semblances used by named characters (thus mooks and monsters are unaffected by her), she costs an Aura more to launch her after that character, but with the right timing, she can throw people for a loop.

** Team RWBY, with the exception of Weiss, has multiple selves. Thus it is quite possible to launch two different versions of the same heroine.

* BattleCry: Almost all units are introduced with a related sound or quote. Most are recycled from the show or ''Chibi'' (and in Yang's case, from ''Videogame/RWBYGrimmEclipse''), and at times aren't even the person talking — in Zwei and Neo's case it's obvious why, while Fox, who hasn't spoken at all, leads to Coco saying "Nice hustle, Fox. Good job."

** The Superior Crate. It gives you hundreds of cards, including a whole lot of Rares and over a dozen Epics along with over 1,000 Lien. However, the box costs 2300 Premium Dust (which is equal to about $20 real world money) and getting Epic duplicates to level up your units is prohibitively expensive.

[[DevelopersForesight This even works for characters like Jaune who were unlocked from the start and thus never had their intro ever played in the first place.]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The game keeps spoilers to a minimum, but still refers multiple times to Blake as a Faunus, strongly hints that Penny is an android, and straight-up reveals Qrow's ability to [[{{Animorphism}} shapeshift]]. Pomegrenade's description even mentions that Pyrrha is dead. On minor notes, it also shows multiple characters and special outfits that wouldn't appear until several volumes, including Cinder who spent all Volume 1 [[HiddenVillain hidden in shadows]].

** Velvet's bio point-blank states that she can't copy Semblances in-universe, but here for the sake of game balance she can (to explain why she can use abilities such as Weiss's freezing).

* TheVoiceless: When the game began, many characters had no voice clips when they are deployed. As of the April 2019 update, the only people who still don't have voice clips are Neo (as she's mute), Emerald, Yatsuhashi (unknown reasons), and Qrow (at most, he caws when turning into a crow).
