13
14	!!Eris tropes:

17	* SpotTheImposter: A computer player (name: cpu) in Battle and Team Battle has Eris as their avatar. They also have zero wins.

22	A group of odd-looking [[InsistentTerminology Cats]] who have a will for world domination. Part of a cross-promotional event with PONOS' ''VideoGame/TheBattleCats''.
23
24	!!Battle Cats tropes:
25	* CatsAreMean: As in their home game.
26	* DirtyCoward: As opposed to the other units which have a powerful attack for their special move, Gross Cat simply skitters away from the enemies.
27	* EnemyMine: In a sense, as one of the members is Teacher Bun Bun, who acts as an incredibly hard boss in his home game.
28	* FacePlant: The wall cat's method of attacking.
29	* GuestFighter: Brought by Morden when he tried to bring the Kraken to the present, and again when Morden crash landed in the Battle Cats universe.
30	* MightyGlacier: Both the regular and black Titan Cats have slow movement and attack speed, but very high stats.
31	* MookMaker: A fridge can be placed to produce basic cats.
32	* MixAndMatchWeapon: The Iron Nokameow, which is a blue Iron Nokana (with treads instead of wheels) and a Cat Base on top.
33	* PaletteSwap: Black versions of the five standard cats exists, differing by attack patterns and altered stats.
34	* SuicideAttack: The Cat Slug's special attack.

39	----
40	* CastHerd: Whip and Heidern are part of the Ikari Warriors (residing in the Regular Army), but they are placed alongside the [=KOF=] Team. Both are then added to the Regular Army faction in ''Attack'' as the [=KOF=] team doesn't exist in that game.
41	* HeelFaceTurn: Gameplay variant. The fighters originally each sided with the Regular Army or the Rebellion. After enough fighters were added, they were all moved to a new faction for themselves.
42	* PopGoesTheHuman: Chang's defeat animation is him popping out.

50	!!Issenmantaro tropes:
51	* CloseRangeCombatant: The red-haired variant. The rest shoot energy beams.
52	* CrutchCharacter: Although he becomes useless pretty quick into the game.
