12	!!This game provides examples of:
13
14	* AnimalThemeNaming: The missiles are {{named\|Weapons}} after birds: MS-LM "Eagle", MSM-TG "Swallows", MSD-TG "Falcon", except OddNameOut MSM-X "Fafnir".
15	* {{Cap}}: Weapon Proficiency Levels and Shield, Energy, and Attack levels are all capped at 99.
16	* CollisionDamage: Flying into enemies or enemies bouncing into you will reduce your shields.
17	* CoolDown: If you run out of weapon Energy, you have to wait for it to recharge enough to use it again, and the character speech that happens when you run out of Energy indicates that the weapon needs to cool down to prevent overheating.
18	* DefeatMeansPlayable: You get to use AMU-03 and AMU-Loki after you defeat them.
19	* FlavorText: The Armaments' Descriptions, although, most are basically just functional information, there's some like:
20	** DZ-X: "Deciever":
21	---> Cube's Technology\
22	Produces no heat.
23	** MSM-X: "Fafnir": Strongest of all missiles
24	* FragileSpeedster: A.M.U-03 Valkyrie, which has Low Shield, High Speed, but Medium Attack.
25	* GlassCannon: Loki, when you use it. It has the lowest shields out of any A.M.U, half as much as Valkyrie and Azrael. but the highest attack multiplier at 3x.
26	* GradualRegeneration: A.M.U-02's Overdrive regenerates shields.
27	* HitPoints: Damage to Shields is measured in numbers, and the current value of Shields is shown in battle, above the LifeMeter that is the Shields Meter.
28	* HomingProjectile: Missiles home into the enemy's position.
29	* InvincibilityPowerUp: Odin's Overdrive gives it invincibility for a short time.
30	* LetterMotif: For the Armaments's NamedWeapons names:
31	** Prefixes for the type of weapon:
32	*** GA = Gatling
33	*** SP = SpreadShot, a.k.a Multipath
34	*** BE = Beam Weapon
35	*** MS = Missile
36	*** MI = Mine
37	*** RL = Railgun
38	** Suffixes for the Weapon Tier, except for Missiles, which use the one before, since they don't have a 1st Tier version:
39	*** LM = 1st.
40	*** TG = 2nd.
41	*** KT = 3rd.
42	*** X = SP or EXCA
43	* LifeMeter: The Shield is your health, it's depicted with a red bar.
44	* ManaMeter: Two types. The Energy meter is for your weapon, and there's another one for Overdrives.
45	* MasterOfAll: Odin has best or equal stats to the other three previous A.M.Us. It has a 1.5 attack multiplier, better than Azarel's 1.2, ties for the highest shields with Heimdall, and has an Overdrive that makes it invincible for a duration, and enhancing the range and number of its attacks.
46	* NamedWeapons: Most of the Armaments, such as:
47	** MS-LM "Eagle"
48	** SP/BE-X "Axia"
49	** HZ-X "Divine Dread"
50	** DZ-X "Deceiver"
51	* {{Nanomachines}}: A.M.U-02: "Equipped by mechanical nanobots that is able to fix themselves, allowing the A.M.U to regenerate the shield."
52	* OddNameOut: A.M.U-01 Azrael, for the Biblical Angel of Death, instead of something out of Myth/NorseMythology like the other A.M.Us.
53	* OminousCube: The protagonists are exploring a giant, clearly artificial cube floating in space with mysterious defenses that they already lost comrades in.
54	* RedemptionDemotion: When you fight Loki, it has 999999 Shield, but when you use it, it has the lowest Shield of any A.M.U, even at Shield Level 99, being half of the Azarel, which is the starting ship.
55	* RegeneratingMana: The Energy meter which drains as you use it and regenerates when you stop using it, and the Overdrive meter which fills up over time.
56	* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Myth/NorseMythology for most of the A.M.Us. 02: Heimdall, 03: Valkyrie, X: Odin, Y: Loki.
57	* {{Roboteching}}: If there are missiles on the field when enemies appear, the missiles will turn to hit them, even if it means turning 180 degrees.
58	* StoneWall: A.M.U-02: "High Shield, Slow Move, Weak Attack."
59	* TheComputerIsALyingBastard: Multiple for achievements and weapons. But not negatively affecting player utility in some cases:
60	** A.M.U Odin is said to have A.M.U-01 and A.M.U-02's overdrives, the latter being a GradualRegeneration shield regeneration, but instead, it's an InvincibilityPowerUp.
61	** HZ-X "Divine Dread" description is "This weapon doesn't overheat", but it can. However, DZ-X: "Deceiver": "Cube's Technology Produces no heat." ''is'' accurate.
62	* ColourCodedTimeStop: A.M.U-03: "This [=AMU=] is capable to manipulate time, slowing almost everything in the range", and when it's activated, all colors are inverted.
