Ace is a versatile melee hero capable of tanking, initiating, or dealing high burst damage. His ability to jump over terrain allows him to approach unexpectedly and dish out the pain. Plus, he's the baddest dude on Tempra.
- Heroic Build: His arms are bigger than his head! Boasted about in his lines from leveling up his ultimate where he says stereotypical weight-training boasts.
- Leeroy Jenkins: One of his skills can be used to this, when he leaps and damages everyone in landing point, even moreso that one of his possible yells is "
YOLO!" - Meaningful Name: He sure as hell thinks he's an ace too. His title is about as appropriate.
- Small Name, Big Ego: He might have managed to get into the trials of Strife, but his ego still greatly outstrips what that would justify. Must've taken tips from Draven.
- Spin Attack: Spincicle, the token 'Spin To Win' skill of the game. Fewer spins, but low cooldown allows Ace to spam it, as long as he has enough mana.
- Top-Heavy Guy: He seems to have skipped leg day.

- Cavalier Competitor: Treats the Trials of Strife as a tournament that he's certain to win.
- Death Dealer: But of course! Courtesy of his Searing Cards ability.

- Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: Bandito came to life after one too many hacking attempts by cheating patrons.
- Money Multiplier: Hitting a hero with Token Toss grants him some free gold.
- Random Number God: A clear example, though not quite as severely as the notorious Ogre Magi. His ultimate passively gives him a chance of immediately refunding the cooldown and mana cost of his other abilities on their use. He can also activate it to guarantee a refund, as well as doubling the passive chance of it for 8 seconds, but after that 8 seconds, he loses the passive entirely until his ultimate cools down.
- Shout-Out: His splash art
◊, wherein he's playing poker with robotic dogs.

- Anvil on Head: Except with an anchor. The indicator it's falling onto an area is, of course, an X marking the spot.
- Booze Flamethrower: Of sorts - instead, her Fire Lager ability has her toss a barrel of liquor forward with a trail leaking behind it while tossing a bomb up into the air that will ignite the alcohol for more damage after it hits the ground.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: It's probably not a coincidence Strife's Ms. Fanservice is a blue-eyed blonde.
- The Gunslinger: Downplayed example, with her ultimate (which comes with two charges) having her shoot a single shot from her pistol.
- Hand Cannon: Her pistol resembles a flintlock pistol, if a usual flintlock pistol's barrel was twice as long and the opening flared out like a blunderbuss.
- Improbable Weapon User: Her usual weapons are not the large flintlock Hand Cannon she holds, it's incendiary bombs on her belt that she tosses at enemies. She shoot her Hand Cannon solely from her ultimate - possibly in a bit of a Gameplay and Story Integration of flintlock firearms being slow to reload and so her use of one was intended to be fairly limited.

- Combos: All of his abilities do more damage when the projectile passes through his Ring of Fire.
- Incendiary Exponent: You can tell his abilities went through his Ring of Fire and got pumped up because then they'll be glittering with blue fire.

Naturally, the trio's weakness is a lack of mobility and survivability.
- No Name Given: One of them is named Carter. They're not sure which one. No one's sure what the others would be then, as well.
