Added DiffLines:

* HighTierScrappy: While every character and weapon is considered usable to an extent, with the game's competitive nature, some are naturally considered a little ''too'' good.
** Weapons:
*** '''Spears''' are considered far too powerful for how easy they are to pick up and play. They're fast, relatively long-ranged, have simple yet effective and spammable combo strings, and possess one of the widest and most abusable {{Ground Pound}}s and recovery attacks in the game, the former of which is known to kill rather easily, to the point that it isn't unheard of for players to win using almost only that.
*** '''Scythes''', while considered to require more skill to use, are a whole new beast when learned, and have become widely dreaded as a result. Their active input system gives them insane combo potential, letting them quickly rack up damage without giving the opponent room to breathe, and they have good range combined with an excellent aerial game, making them a nightmare to face off against.
*** '''Rocket Lances''' have very large hitboxes on all their attacks and deal very good damage with very few downsides. A sufficiently aggressive player can use them to deal damage very quickly, and Rocket Lance legends tend to have incredibly hard-hitting, hard to dodge signatures with that weapon, which doesn't help their reputation.
** Characters:
*** '''Hattori''' has been famously powerful since the game's early days, and hasn't really lost steam since. She wields two very good weapons, including the aforementioned spears, and her signatures all either have very wide coverage, or are very fast and can take an opponent by surprise. She herself is also one of the fastest characters in the game, and to top it all off, none of this stops her from being beginner-friendly.
*** Ever since the 3.38 patch, '''Mordex''' has consistently been one of the most played legends in the game. Both of his weapons have excellent off-stage potential, he has excellent signatures, and his GlassCannon statline fully augments the aggressive playstyle that he is defined by. Being associated with Sandstorm, often considered the best NA Esports player, only worsens this, and Mordex players are often mocked as "Sandstorm wannabes", especially if they play well.
*** '''Queen Nai''' may be [[MightyGlacier slow]], but everything else about her is considered to make up for it a little too well. She wields a combination of spears and katars, making her very good at strings, and has a high enough strength stat to mitigate the low damage of her weapons. What is ''really'' hated about her, however, is her stupidly effective signatures, which deal high damage, come out very fast, and reach incredibly far - her spear down signature in particular is considered ThatOneAttack, and can reach across almost half the length of the smaller stages.
*** '''Orion''' has a balanced statline, leaving for very few weaknesses and making him very versatile in regards to stances, and he wields the much-reviled combination of spears and rocket lances, giving enemies hell no matter which one he's wielding. His playerbase has received such notoriety for spamming his signatures (which are generally very fast with good amounts of knockback) that it gave rise to the "yellow man bad" meme.
*** His ArchEnemy, '''Artemis''', is less hated, but not by a wide margin. In addition to having very high [[OneStatToRuleThemAll speed]] (the same as Hattori's), and wielding a mix of lances and scythes, both of which are considered overpowered in their own right, she possesses notoriously quick signatures that are often spammed.
*** '''Loki''' wields both scythes and katars with the highest Dexterity stat in the game, which tends to lead to him being easy to be caught by and hard to escape, and his stats are otherwise fairly balanced, leaving him with few weaknesses. His signatures are, once again, the main sticking point with him, as they have incredibly large and unorthodox hitboxes, so the ability to spam makes him a frustrating opponent regardless of their skill level.
*** '''Teros''' is currently considered the game's best character. Not only does he have incredibly high strength without being overspecialised like Xull, but his choice of weapons augments this further. His signatures are ridiculously strong, knock you back very far, are wide-reaching and easily abused, which tends to lead to the opposition dying incredibly early if they don't play an evasive game.

* LowTierLetdown: Some characters, usually Jiro and Caspian, are consistently hated in for being “bad” despite being actually playable and sometimes good for a very long time since the devs last patched them.



* TierInducedScrappy:
** [[{{Ninja}} Hattori]] has been on the receiving end of this for a while. She has two of the best weapons in the game, great signatures with large coverage, and has one of the highest speed stats in the game. She's also beginner friendly and has a lot of options for high level play.
** Mordex has been played [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome so often]] that in every patch after 3.38, he is always the highest played legend. Both of his weapons have great off-stage potential, decent signatures, and is well known for being played by the best North American esports player: Sandstorm. The fourth battlepass not only gives him a progression skin,[[note]]Which makes him tie for the most skins in the game if counting each level of progression[[/note]] but said progression skin is upgraded by KO-ing with the active input version of attacks.[[note]]Both of his down signatures have active input in addition to his scythe having many of them[[/note]] It's because of this that his playrate is the highest it's ever been at 13% (9% higher than second place).
** Jaeyun has been involved with this ever since the new greatsword weapon was added. If a player doesn't know how to avoid getting caught up in the light attack combos, they can have their stock ended prematurely. His signatures also have large range.
** Characters known for sig spam tend to get hated on… even when a good player plays them for once.
** Meanwhile, some characters, usually Jiro and Caspian, are consistently hated in for being “bad” despite being actually playable and sometimes good for a very long time since the devs last patched them.

Renamed some tropes.


* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** Everyone has the ability to straight up ''defy gravity'' by gravity-cancelling.
** Almost every signature move, bonus points for crossover skins.
** Let's be real, the ''Deal With It'' taunt is pretty awesome. Though that's not to say some of the other ones such as ''Team Photo'', ''Guitar Solo'', and ''Next Level''.



** Let's start off with [[{{SeriesMascot}} Bodvar]]. After a lifetime of heroism and vivtories, he became convinced he would never fall in battle and enter Valhalla. So instead, he finds his way to the warrior, kucks down the door and just invites himself in.
** [[{{Pirate}} Thatch]] fires literal cannonballs out of his [[HandCannon blasters]], and those cannonballs also happen to [[MadeOfExplodium explode.]]

* TheyChangedItSoItSucks: When Greatsword was added to the game, it was overpowered for its time. When it eventually got nerfed, the playrate took a nosedive similar to cannon.

An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope


** [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Xull]] uses both a [[BigFuckingGun cannon]] and an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] with the ''highest strength stat in the game.''
