Team Lurker
Kim Lurker
A loan shark working for Lurker Cash who serves as the main villain of the first season 2 arc.

- Arc Villain: For the Trustworthy Room game.
- The Dragon: To Prince. Until his betrayal.
- Evil Is Petty: Fondles Ehwa while she is mind-controlled.
- Faux Affably Evil: His affable demeanor is creepy instead of endearing.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Part of his motivation. He is deeply jealous of Prince.
- It's All About Me: He is willing to betray anyone, including Prince and Nya Nya.
- Kick the Dog: Killing Nya after he had outlived his usefulness.
- Loan Shark: Played straight.
- Sissy Villain: Flamboyant attire, and flower in his hair. Yeah, fits the bill.
- Smug Snake: His plan crumbles after he pushes several of the characters into Heroic Safe Mode.
- Spell My Name With An S: Is it Lurker or Locker?
- The Chessmaster: He plots against his boss in order to advance up the Tower.
- The Starscream: He betrays Prince.
- Treacherous Advisor: Initially seems subservient to Prince.
Rapdevil
A mercenary known as "The Devil of the Right Arm," recruited by Prince's father to help Prince in the 20th Floor exam.
- Becoming the Boast: He is not the real Devil, but still can hold his own in a fight.
- Black Eyes of Crazy: Subverted. He has black sclera, but he is essentially just a mercenary.
- The Brute: Prince's. And then Lurker's.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: With Prince on the receiving end. However, Rapdevil, in return, gets a one-sided beating of his own against Horyang.
- Face–Heel Turn:Betraying Prince. Not that much of a face to begin with, but still.
- Fake Ultimate Hero:He is not the real deal.
- Faking the Dead: He plays dead in order to find out where Prince hid the remote for their dorm room.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Beats Prince with them.

- Miles Gloriosus: He is NOT the real Devil of the Right Arm.
- Oh, Crap!:When he realises the real Devil has found him. Oh crap indeed.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He is not particularly malevolent, though ruthless.
- Small Name, Big Ego:While by no means weak in a fight, he is nowhere near the level of the real Devil of the Right Arm.
- Spell My Name With An S: Rapdevil or Lobdevil?
- Tron Lines: When he activates his right arm.
Tin
A Regular who teamed up with Prince and Lurker's team claiming that he knows of a way to capture Viole.
- Cheshire Cat Grin: Extremely wide and toothy.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Is smart enough not to get in Wangnan's and Viole's way when they beat down Lurker.
- Punch-Clock Villain:He seems to hold no particular ill will against anyone. When his team loses, he just leaves. However, as revealed in an omake, he did not leave fast enough to avoid Ehwa's wrath.
- Scary Shiny Glasses: Goggles, to be exact.
- Slasher Smile: His first appearance.
An odd-looking green-skinned Regular that's seen alongside Tin when they approach Prince and Lurker's team to form an alliance.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Green-skinned.
- Character Death: Viole kills the green-creature after pulling it out of Ehwa.
- Cyclops: Only has one eye.
- Demonic Possession: His goal is to take control of a powerful Regular, and decides that since Ehwa is a member of the Great Yeon Family, she will make a good vessel.
- Monster Clown: His clothes, and just the way his face looks, is perhaps the best way to describe this Regular.
- No Name Given: Unlike Tin, this guy was never given a name.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: How this character works is a bit confusing. It's heavily implied that the green-skinned creature was just a puppet while the actual Regular remained sitting back as the defender for his and Tin's room. Whatever happened to the Regular that sat back in Tin's room is anyone's guess, but it was confirmed that Viole killed the green-skinned creature that was possessing Ehwa.
Nya Nia
A noodle shop delivery boy who befriends Ja Wangnan, and becomes roommates during the 20th Floor test.
Nia had lost everything when he arrived on the 20th Floor, but was taken in by an old lady, and chose to start a new life helping her take care of her restaurant. However, she was forced into a bad situation with Lurker Cash; forcing Nia to become a part of the loan company to one day help the old lady that saved him pay off the debt she owes. As a result, he was forced into being a part of Lurker's team, and eventually has to betray Wangnan during the test.
- Alliterative Name: Nya Nia.
- The Cameo: After his death, Wangnan has a bad dream during the Hell Train saga where Nia pops up in it, and blames Wangnan for leading many Regulars to their deaths throughout his climb up the Tower.
- Character Death: Kim Lurker beats him to death.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Was very slowly beaten to death by Lurker, his ear shattering screams playing over the pockets of Ja Wangnan's team the entire time.
- Death Equals Redemption: Very. His betrayal was somewhat terrible, but it can be universally agreed that he did not deserve the death that Lurker gave him.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: His death is as sudden as it is violent.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Lampshaded by Wangnan.
- Easily Forgiven: Wangnan held no grudge against him for his betrayal and understood why he did it. Sadly, Lurker kills him right afterwards anyway.
- Face–Heel Turn: Not really by choice, but still turned against Wangnan at a key moment in the game.
- Gory Discretion Shot: His death.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: This highlights that he isn't really part of Wangnan's group.
- The Mole: He was blackmailed by Lurker.
- Nice Guy: Legitimately a nice person just in bad circumstances.
- Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Was abandoned and beaten by his team, taken in by a nice old lady, then forced to constantly betray people to help pay off her restaurant's debts. He ends up betraying Wangnan with the belief it would allow the restaurant's debts to be paid off completely, but is quickly informed this is no longer the case, and is brutally murdered minutes later.

Team Nobic
Nobic
Tower Position: Spear Bearer, Fisherman
Spear Bearer of Khun's early Season 2 team who wears a green jogging jacket, and a member of a famous branch of the Great Ha Family, though he likes making up fake family names for laughs and wits. Nobic is considered amongst the top E-rank Regulars due to his Hayeol Style abilities that rely on immobilizing his opponent.
Following Khun's team falling apart, Nobic is forced into joining up with Viole's Workshop team to help the FUG leader (Bam) win the Workshop Battle. Afterwards, Khun names him the leader of a new support team that consists of Ran, Dan, Beta and Sia Sia, who then go about trying to board the Hell Train. However, apart from Beta, the team was unable to get on the Hell Train during their attempts at Train City, and Name Hunt Station.
- Always Someone Better: Ran surpasses him both as a Fisherman and a Spear Bearer.
- Barrier Warrior: Apart from being a great Spear Bearer, he's also competent as fighting as a Fisherman using shinsu walls to propel people into attacks.
- The Big Guy: Subverted. He is the biggest of Aguero's new team, but Ran surpasses him in power.
- Blood Knight: Shows how competent he really is during his fight with Ilmar and Cassano.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Beating Dan.
- Dull Surprise: He only shows any emotion when he fights.
- Fatal Flaw: Overconfidence.
- Heroic Build: Very muscular.
- Hidden Depths: According to Word of God he is the best cook in his team.

- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Red eyes.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Ran's red, defying their color scheme.
- The Worf Effect: The biggest victim so far.
Khun Ran
Tower Position: Fisherman, Spear Bearer, Lightning User
Fisherman of Khun's starting season 2 team. Ran was considered one of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars alongside Endorsi, Anaak, Blarode and Baragav, and is from the same branch family as Khun Maschenny Jahad. He even has the rare Lightning User Position, which allows Ran to use several Maschenny shinsu techniques utilizing electricity.
Following Khun's team falling apart, Ran is forced into joining up with Viole's Workshop team to help the FUG leader (Bam) win the Workshop Battle. Afterwards, he becomes part of Nobic's new team as they try to get on the Hell Train.
- Always Someone Better: His defeat at Viole's hands did a number on his pride, and his experiences with D-rank Regulars doesn't seem to be helping much in this regard.
- Arch-Enemy: Considers Maschenny this, after fighting with her when he was younger and losing. Considers killing her as his final goal when he becomes a Ranker.
- Badass Adorable: The small and cute member of the Great Khun Family. Ran was able to defeat Nobic, and fought evenly with Anaak during the Workshop Battle.
- The Big Guy: Despite his small stature, he's the strongest fighter out of Team Khun, and was one of the top 5 E-rank Regulars before becoming D-rank.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Borderline example. He is obnoxious, spoiled and quite childish at times (he destroyed Aguero's Lighthouse during a mission), yet when he gets serious he is a force to be reckoned with.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: How he defeats Nobic.
- On the receiving end with Nobic, courtesy of Viole.
- Cute Bruiser: Surly, tough and undeniably cute. Just... be careful saying that.
- Expy: Of Hunter × Hunter's Killua Zoldyck. The electricity-based powers, Khun-brand snark, age, adult grade fighting experience, and color scheme all point to Ran being influenced by him.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he defeats Nobic.
- Glass Cannon: Relies on his extremely potent attack power and ability to dodge blows most of the time. Doesn't fare that well when he does get hit himself. Worse, because he relies on hit-and-dodge, others can easily bait or herd him into traps if they can take it for a while.
- Hot-Blooded: Doesn't look like it. Doesn't sound like it. Usually doesn't act like it (unless provoked). But, going off pop and rushing into dangerous situations half-cocked is his specialty.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: Despite being a Fisherman, Ran's Spear Bearer position is ranked higher than his Fisherman position due to his powerful Lightning Spear techniques, which are extremely powerful for his level. This made him possibly the best Spear Bearer of all the E-rank Regulars.
- Idiot Ball: When he gets impatient, he tends to get stupid.
- Jerkass: He is extremely arrogant, and seems to possess next to no social skills.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: With an emphasis on the "wizard" part, he is still a capable hand-to-hand fighter.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: He primarily uses Shinsu and overwhelming force to attack, rather than traditional combat.
- Oh, Crap!: When Viole shows up, Ran's reaction is basically a chain of Oh, Crap! moments one after the other.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Very much. Problem is, he generally deals out damage better than he can take it.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Nobic's blue, defying their color scheme.
- The Rival: To Anaak and Moontari. He was also introduced as Nobic's friendly(?) rival, even though the latter isn't quite on his level.
- Shock and Awe: His Lightning Spear technique.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Compared to many other Regulars since his introduction, Ran has been involved in a majority of the fights. Especially after the Team Nobic support team has been established.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Subverted. Sure, just one look at him will yell "Khun" if you know much about the Ten. And, he's got the physical oomph and arrogance down to an art. However, he's not that good at the whole cool, calm, collected, and dangerously manipulative part of the brief.
- Super Mode: Redan, which he activates by concentrating shinsu into one baang then swallowing it. This greatly augments his fighting powers, but after 5 minutes, he will collapse.
- The Stoic: Facial expressions beyond "frustration" and "bored" are for other people.
- The Worf Effect: This series has a tendency to use him to make others look stronger. It's often justified by his rushing in where those with some information and caution fear to tread. Examples:
- He's played up and shown to be an enormous badass only to make Viole's utter domination of him show how much stronger Viole is. Mind you, had he not been an idiot, Aguero might have been able to warn him about the Irregular factor.
- He clashes with Mirotic and Moontari, to no avail during Revolution Road to hype up their power. Mind you, the guy was practically frothing with frustration, so disinclined to think before charging.
Edin Dan
Tower Position: Scout
A Regular who was forcibly recruited into Khun's season 2 team. Due to his blazing speed, Dan acts as the Scout for his comrades.
Wanting to prove to Rachel that he hasn't given up the Tower climb despite her injuring his legs, Dan would later follow Khun to join up with Wangnan's Sweet and Sour team as they participate in the Workshop Battle. Following the Workshop Battle, Dan joins up with Nobic's new team as they try to get on the Hell Train.
- A Day In The Lime Light: Knot of Wool or Competing Fences Arc.
- Audience Surrogate: Type 2.
- Beady-Eyed Loser: His introduction shows that he's pretty much given up climbing the Tower after making it to E-Rank.
- Butt-Monkey: In the first few strips after his introduction he gets outgambitted, drugged, forcibly recruited, severely beaten and more than once humiliated.
- Character Development: Prior to joining Khun's team, Dan lost the will to climb the Tower due to being the only survivor that ran away from his team when they were stuck going up against powerful opponents. However, after having his legs injured by Rachel, he regains that strong will to climb the Tower once more in order to show her that he hasn't given up just yet.
- Curtains Match the Window: Black/brown.
- Defiant to the End: His speech against Rachel knowing that saying it would probably get him killed. No Rachel. Edin doesn't want be your legs.
- Despair Event Horizon: Rachel attempted to cause him to experience this and he is determined to make it not happen.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Rachel stabbed him countless times in the legs and feet, basically crippling him and ruining his chances in the Tower even if he recovers, for rejecting her offer to come with her.
- "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: "Get lost. If you want to walk, walk with those fine legs of your own. You kicked away two friends with those, am I right?" Fortunately, Rachel didn't kill him... except Edin lost his legs instead.
- Fragile Speedster: Rumored to be faster than light, which is why Aguero wanted him.
- Ran even outright says that Dan is useless in a fight, but when it comes to speed, nobody can surpass him.
- Flash Step: During his first appearance, he was too fast even for Khun.
- Kick the Dog: Rachel attempted to cause him to hit a Despair Event Horizon by taking away his legs, for simply rejecting an offer to help her in the tower.
- My Greatest Failure: His abandoning his last team to die in a desperate fight.
- Oh, Crap!: His reaction moments after accepting a duel with Nobic. The rest of his team forfeited.
- Retired Badass: Stopped being a Regular due to the 20th Floor Syndrome.note
- Super-Speed: Extremely fast.
Sia Sia
Tower Position: Light Bearer
An E-rank Regular introduced on the 28th Floor. She is a Light Bearer, and an Information Monger who likes to charge money for her services. She also happens to be a member of FUG where she becomes part of Viole's team for the Workshop Battle.
- Alliterative Name: Last name is the same as the first.
- Animal Eyes: Has slitted pupils.
- Cute and Psycho: Really, really nuts. She has since sobered up after her defection from FUG.
- Deliberately Distressed Damsel: Activated a trap to slow and distract Viole to prevent him from reaching the Hand of Arlen on time.
- High-Heel–Face Turn: She is currently out of FUG and is a member of Khun's spare team alongside Ran, Nobic, Dan and Beta.
- Mission Control: As a Light Bearer.
- Only in It for the Money: Does not seem to share FUG's ideology nor does she appear to have any grudge against Jahad, apparently she was just hired for the job rather than being a true member of the organization.
- Redemption Equals Life: She informed Khun's friends where they hid the hostage and soon escaped the cave with them. Good for her, considering what Reflejo and his comrades had planned.
- Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Though she does give up on the money once it looks like FUG has gone too far even for her.
- Unusual Ears: Has rabbit ears.
Team Sweet and Sour Recruits
Chang Blarode
Tower Position: Fisherman
A Fisherman who is described as "cold and violent". Blarode was considered one of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars alongside Endorsi, Anaak, Ran, and Baragav. Like Quaetro, Chang took part in the 28th Floor Test against Sweet and Sour, but joined the team soon after during the Workshop Battle after making a deal with Khun during One Shot, One Opportunity.
Following Workshop, Blarode and Quaetro help Sweet and Sour on the Hell Train, but the two depart from the group after the Dallar Show.
- Badass Boast: Claims he could beat Viole, though he seems to be underestimating things.
- Disappointed in You: Being turned down from a one-on-one challenge against Viole, Blarode's first impression leaves him disappointed that the FUG Slayer appears to be someone that only fights those who are weak.
- He gets the opportunity to revise this opinion, however.
- The Dreaded: He was considered to be one of the strongest E-rank Regulars. He took Aguero's off-hand, and fairly trolly, defeat of him rather hard. Viole and company repeatedly upstaging his and Quaetro's team was the cherry on the humiliating character development sundae.
- Eye Scream: Courtesy of Khun Aguero Agnis.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a very big pair that forms a cross just under his right eye. Definitely not good.
- The Leader: Could be seen as such for the team he's been climbing the Tower with alongside Quaetro.
- Put on a Bus: Along with Quaetro, the two of them departed from Bam's group after the Dallar Show.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Quaetro's red.
- Those Two Guys: Almost always seen alongside Quaetro.
- Wild Card: Where Blarode's loyalty lies is still up for debate given his odd actions on the Hell Train. He's shown to be powerful enough to break out of Pedro's hostage cage, but remained standing off on the side as the rest of his teammates completed the 38th Floor Test, which left Yuri finding it odd as to why Blarode is choosing to hide his true abilities from the rest of the team.
Quaetro Blitz
Tower Position: Wave Controller, Flame User
A rather skilled Wave Controller who Sweet and Sour battled during the 28th Floor Test, and Quant Blitz's family relative. Due to having the rare Flame User Position, his skill was considered amongst the best in E-rank, and is thought to be mentally unstable. He joins up with Sweet and Sour during the Workshop Battle after being impressed by Wangnan's efforts to save Viole from FUG.
Following Workshop, Quaetro and Blarode help Sweet and Sour on the Hell Train, but the two depart from the group after the Dallar Show.
- Ax-Crazy: Highlighted by the author in his intro.
- Ambiguous Gender: He looks male, and just about all fans refer to him as such, but Word of God is that Quaetro's gender will be confirmed later on, which has led to a lot of speculation.
- Butt-Monkey: As a Blitz Family member, and thusly related to Quant, it was practically inevitable.
- Character Development: While Quaetro is still seen as a crazy unstable guy, he's calmed down a lot after joining Wangnan's Sweet and Sour team, and making friends amongst Bam's companions.
- The Dreaded: People feared him being one of the strongest E-rank Regulars, and as a Flame User.
- Fiery Redhead: A bit crazier than the usual.
- Playing with Fire: Like all Blitzs.
- Psychopathic Manchild: One Word: Chirpy.
- Put on a Bus: Along with Blarode, the two of them departed from Bam's group after the Dallar Show.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Chang's blue.
- Smug Super: Three baangs is awesome for an E-rank Regular, and he knows it. Then Viole showed him what true talent is.
- Those Two Guys: Almost always seen alongside Blarode.
- Undying Loyalty: To Wangnan after he earns Quaetro's respect.
