!!The comic shows examples of:
* AbortedArc: The Twilit Cabin is either this or a ChekhovsGun. Also we're still not quite sure who Float was going to meet up with in the beginning of the comic.
* ArtShift: This is how the comic displays reality warping effects on the characters such as during the [[http://season2.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=1 school arc]] or the [[http://season2.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=607 hypothetical world arc]], compare those to the normal [[http://atxs.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=2 style]].

** [[spoiler:It also has a portal to other universes through which the void knights arrive.]]
* BigBad: It seems that the Wasteland Police Department is shaping up to be this with police sergeant Enjoy arranging multiple hits against our heroes.
* [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Heroes]]: Typically this is how a fight will end and has happened many different times.
** As an example take Drift's introduction with him destroying the robot that was preparing to kill Float.

* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Defeat Means Friendship]]: How Sheathe ends up joining Float, Tear joins the party, and in the reverse of this trope how Sheathe's group joins Brake's.
* GambitPileup: Every conflict consists of plans from multiple sides conflicting and the participants proceeding to rethink entire new plans that also clash.
* IdiotBall: Every character at some point has held this, in fact it's probably safe to assume that only one or two characters don't have it at any time.
* IndyPloy: WordofGod has it that this is how the comic is developed. Raocow and AOD go over basic plot points, Raocow draws the scenes, and then AOD makes text fit them resulting in their iconic, silly style.
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: This seems to be the distinction between characters who train their skills and those who are just naturally gifted with power. For example the physical god Accelerate was a skill user and started off as an ordinary surgeon. Essentially the characters who use skills can advance endlessly while power users eventually reach a plateau in their abilities.
