* ShipToShipCombat: The most prominent conflict between the game's shippers is Levi/Marina against Marina/Samarie, with both factions being somewhat quick to, considering the game's premise of a DeadlyGame, invoke DieForOurShip on the rival suitor. Of course, there is also the third faction who ships [[OneTrueThreesome all three of them together]].

* DelusionConclusion: While most parts of the game are taken at face value, a few fights are suspected to not be real:
** The "Fight" with the Irrational Obelisk is suggested to just be the party attacking a pile of clothes in a fit of paranoia, as it only attacks by draining your Mind, your choices when talking to it are extremely bizarre with no response from the obelisk, [[BrownNote it triggers all phobias]], and you can't actually defeat it (as even draining all of its health will fail to destroy it).
**[[spoiler:The fight with Rher's traces on Day 3 in ending B.

** Caligura often gets mocked for being a PaperTiger who seems intimidating, [[spoiler:and possibly tries to murder several contestants and rape Abella]], yet is actually incredibly weak in combat, doing less damage than any other contestant. There's also the fact that it's possible to [[CripplingCastration castrate]] and leave him dead and pantsless on a bed, with his ass facing the camera.

** When it comes to NewGamePlus spells, Red Arc is widely considered to be the best one. You can learn it immediately from the moment you access the Hexen, it does 200-300 damage in a single hit that always stuns, and, most importantly, it always hits regardless of the enemy's evasion. As many enemies have low head health, you can use it to score a OneHitKill at a relatively low Mind cost, while other foes can be stunlocked repeatedly.

Added DiffLines:
* DracoInLeatherPants: Despite most of her characterization in-game showing her as a StalkerWithACrush with the capacity to kill in Marina's name, a significant amount of fanworks downplay or outright eliminate Samarie's more negative qualities, or at the very least [[RonTheDeathEater ramp up those of Father Domek]] to make her look better, and portray her explicitly one-sided relationship with Marina as mutually reciprocated.

For a significant portion of fans, it falls flat with the implications that since it was named after him, he was complicit in the abuses at the OrphanageOfFear that Levi stayed at, and him being one of the only viable suspects in the death of Marina's mother, with even his own daughter suspecting him.

** If you kill Samarie in certain locations such as the Woodsman's house or the bookstore (possible by playing as Marina and sleeping in those locations, triggering an event where Samarie watches her sleep because she is very well adjusted and normal about her feelings,) you can saw off Samarie's head an inifinite number of times, completely trivializing getting soul stones for the hexen and trading contestant heads for goods with Pocketcat.

** Samarie is unquestionably one of the most popular characters in the game, despite not being playable and having a very minor role if you don't happen to be playing as Marina. She generates a huge amount of fanart, fanfiction, and discussion on the regular, much more than even some of the main characters.

* CrutchCharacter: Karin's utility abilities make her a good choice for newer players still learning the game, but are less useful for experienced players. Lockpicking is useful for exploration, escape plan lets her flee from enemies more easily and persuade and diplomacy help her learn which enemies have useful Talk options without wasting a turn, as well as dealing with [[DemonicSpider bobbies]]. Her lack of any combat skills makes her less useful to more seasoned players who can use keys or brute force on key doors and who are better at avoiding unfavorable enounters.

** Marcoh for being one of the more physically stronger playable contestants, being able to wield two-handed weapons and still dealing large amounts of damage even when unarmed. The fact that he can still beat up enemies even ''after losing his arms'' has cemented it further. Because of this, he's a popular choice for players who want to go solo mode since he's quite decent even without other party members backing him up. It's even lead to people agreeing with Marina calling him a "chad" or even jokingly calling him [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro]].

** Marina is inexplicably able to use the Mauler, even though she's not meant to be able to use two-handed weapons. Since this isn't intended, the animation will show her slashing with a knife instead.
** If one knows Wrench Toss and enters combat (including against a door) with a wrench equipped, the skill will be usable even after swapping to another weapon, and even after leaving combat, so long as one doesn't use the skill yet. This allows doing extreme amounts of damage by tossing maulers and sergal spears. Even better, Daan and Marina will always be able to use Wrench Toss this way, regardless of whether they've already used it or not.

** Several of the gods have significantly worse spell lists than the others:
*** Rher offers some convenience tools to help you find moonscorched contestants and travel round the map, but the latter requires using up three of the four ritual circles and none of it helps in combat.
*** All-Mer's Blood Sword and Longinus give you a decent weapon that deals occult damage, but aren't strong enough to justify wasting the first turn of battle equipping them and letting the enemy get an extra hit in. The ability to teleport between his circles would be convenient but it's competing against the free, non-time advancing saves offered by Fear and Hunger circles.
*** Vinuska's spells deal little direct damage in favour of damage-over-time, but the burning status can be easily inflicted with an ornamental lantern instead.
