History VideoGame / Teppen

* DarkIsEvil: While not exclusively evil, the Black Element is the main representation for Resident Evil, and all of the heroes with the element can be considered evil, Wesker completely plays it straight like in canon, Nergigante is more animalistic than malicious, and the heroes introduced later, Akuma and Oichi, [[DarkIsNotEvil are not evil like their respective canon]].

* NighInvulnerability: Abilities with "Nullify Damage" cannot allow either the hero or unit to take damage, though if their HP is reduced to zero by other means, they will still be destroyed. Due to the overpowered nature of this ability, it is usually only temporary or, in the cases of ''Monstrous Virus'' and ''Familiar: Nightmare'', the former forces you lose the battle after 30 seconds and the latter is removed from the game after attacking.

* DarkIsEvil: While not exclusively evil, the Black Element is the main representation for Resident Evil, and all three of the heroes with the element can be considered evil, though Nergigante is more animalistic than malicious.
* FireIsRed: The red element, focusing on more destructing gameplay, naturally incorporates various cards around fire, and the two main heroes for the element being the fire breathing Rathalos and Ryu, who's fire is more mystical.

* NighInvulnerability: Units with "Nullify Damage" cannot take damage, though if their HP is reduced to zero by other means they will still be destroyed. Due to the overpowered nature of this ability, it is usually only temporary or, in the case of ''Familiar: Nightmare'', are removed from the game after attacking.
** Dante's final Hero Art, Devil Trigger, grants this to the player themselves, making them immune to damage for 10 seconds.

** The ''Indestructible'' ability makes a unit immune to ''Destroy'' effects such as Wesker's hero art ''Dark Destruction'', though they still take damage.

* SupernaturalIsPurple: The purple element mainly revolves around more supernatural abilities, with the two main heroes for the element, Dante and Morrigan, being demons of significant power. Zero, introduced later, is not a demon in the traditional sense but is the origin of the Maverick Virus in his home series.

* AdvertisedExtra: The ''Haunted By Memories'' trailer focuses on the {{Dark and Troubled Past}}s of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Cammy,]] [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Leon,]] [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma, and Zero]]. Many were assuming that all of those four characters would become playable Heroes, but actually, no. As it turns out, Zero is the only character in the trailer to be confirmed as a new Hero.

* AscendedMeme: The ''Haunted By Memories'' trailer featured only one non-narrator voiceline, belonging to Zero at the saddest part of his life; [[VideoGame/MegamanX4 the death of Iris]], and it was exactly the same memetic line of '''[[https://youtu.be/cMxm0QvfjQM?t=100 "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOR!?!?"]]''', delivered by his current [[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch English voice actor]] in his first time.

* MagikarpPower: Growth, the main ability introduced in ''The Devils Awaken'', functions like this, with the unit gaining Growth Points equal to the cost of additional units put on the battlefield after the unit with growth.[[labelnote:*]]For example, placing a unit with an MP cost of 3 will grant 3 growth points.[[/labelnote]] Once the amount of growth points is equal to the specified number, the unit levels up, resulting in a variety of effects from gaining abilities, giving other units HP, or even destroying all enemy units, with the growth cost being larger in accordance with the effect of levelling up.

* SuperMode: Some units, when specific conditions are met, transform into more powerful units, such as Dante, Nero and Lucia transforming into their Devil forms, and Akuma transforming into Oni.

''Teppen'' is a free to play mobile CollectibleCardGame published by Creator/{{Capcom}} and developed by Gung Ho Entertainment. Initially teased as "Project Battle" after having early alphas sent to prominent members of the UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity, the game is a CrisisCrossover between multiple Capcom properties that span its decorated history over the past several decades.

Gameplay takes some cues from other popular card games such as ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' and ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. Heroes in ''Teppen'' each belong to four different [[ColorCodedWizardry color classes]], which represent different playstyles and archetypes: Red and Green each focus on straightforward offense and defense builds, Purple is a trickier archetype aiming to restrict enemy movement, and Black is a high-risk, high-reward class that allows for the use of tougher units which often comes at the cost of losing others or even life from the Hero that controls them.

!!Tropes associated with ''Teppen'' include the following:

* AntiAir: To counter flying creatures that certain play styles struggled against, an ability sharing this tropes name was introduced in ''The Force Seekers'' that does exactly what you think.

* {{Brainwashing}}: Certain cards allow for a player to steal units from their opponents. While most of these have limitations, the legendary "Brainwash" can steal any unit, though as a legendary there can only be one in a deck.

* MagikarpPower: Growth, the main ability introduced in ''The Devil Awakens'', functions like this, with the unit gaining Growth Points equal to the cost of additional units put on the battlefield after the unit with growth.[[labelnote:*]]For example, placing a unit with an MP cost of 3 will grant 3 growth points.[[/labelnote]] Once the amount of growth points is equal to the specified number, the unit levels up, resulting in a variety of effects from gaining abilities, giving other units HP, or even destroying all enemy units, with the growth cost being larger in accordance with the effect of levelling up.

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The "Ascended" mechanic introduced in ''the Force Seekers'' expansion involves placing a unit on top of another unit already on the field, sacrificing the other unit in order to activate another effect, usually powering up the Ascended unit, though other effects include dealing damage or destroying an opponents unit,

* StatusBuff: The ''Resonate ability acts like this. Whenever the player uses an action card, it triggers ''Resonate''. This usually boosts health or attack, though it can also cause damage or, in cases such as ''Devil Hunter Dante'' and ''Forlorn Protector Lucia'', transform them, with the former becoming ''Devil Trigger Dante'' and the latter ''Devil Form Lucia''.

TheParalyzer: The ''Halt'' status temporarily stops a unit from attacking or countering for a certain amount of time, resetting their attack progress once the effect expires.

* NighInvulnerability: Units with "Indestructible" cannot be destroyed or take damage, though if their HP is reduced to zero by other means they will still be destroyed. Due to the overpowered nature of this ability, it is usually only temporary or, in the case of Familiar: Nightmare, are removed from the game after attacking.
