      • Sulley: Worn-Out Jacket Sulley
      • Pete: Steamboat Pete
      • Yzma: Lab Coat Yzma
  • Ascended Extra:
    • Jangles the Clown was only a roadblock for one major scene in his film (which has No Antagonist), but here he is fully playable.
    • Chunk was merely a member of Lotso's crew, not even a major one, but here he's fully playable alongside his boss and his second in command, Big Baby.
  • Auto-Revive:
    • A variant with Quorra; if she's defeated, her passive ability Re-Rezzed summons her avatar to keep her going. However, her avatar only has a fifth of her power and can only perform ISO Strike and, if the ability is leveled up to two, For the Users.
    • Elsa's Glacial Armor let's her avoid death once per battle.
    • Olaf has a 5% chance to return from a KO with Water Has Memory. This is increased to 50% if Elsa is on his team. Unlike the others, there's no limit to how often this can go off. A little bit of luck can turn defeating Olaf into a game of Whack A Mole. Within the Raids, he WILL revive unless instantly defeated.
    • Then there's Genie's Friend Like Me, which is an Auto-Revive for whichever teammate dies first.
    • Miguel's leadership, Instrumental Support, grants his Mythical teammates a chance to revive, which increases depending on the number of Encore Notes he has. His passive, Encore!, revives him if he has Encore Notes when he dies, with each Encore Note granting 5% Health on revive.
  • Badass Family: Invoked with The Incredibles: not only can all five members of the titular family (Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack) be put on a team together, but they actually gain stat boosts and extra abilities for being paired with each other, meaning they're stronger together than any of them are solo.
  • Boring, but Practical: The first spell you get in the game, Magic Meteor. All it does is deal damage to all enemies, inflicting no status ailments or buffing your party in any way. It also deals consistently high damage and has a low cooldown.
  • Car Fu: Stitch's ability Blue Punch Puggy has a car fall from above on him, which he catches and throws at an enemy. Nearby enemies are also hit as Collateral Damage.
  • Difficult, but Awesome:
    • Merida herself does decent damage, but to get the most out of her you need her to get her wisps. It can be tricky planning ahead with her, but play your cards right and she can one-shot tanks.
    • The Horned King has a slow start to each game since he needs to set up his cauldron, once he gets going though he is very hard to stop due to great health drain and summoning cauldronborn to help him.
  • The Dividual: Pain and Panic fight together as one character.
  • Dual Wielding: Stitch wields two plasma blasters by default.
  • Enemy Mine: Like Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, it's not uncommon have both heroes and villains together on the same team at the same time.
  • Forced Transformation:
    • Dr. Faciler's special ability Transformation Central allows him to inflict Polymorph Frog on an opponent for one turn. The opponent can only deal one damage on any enemy when transformed.
    • Ursula can also turn her opponents into polyps which forces them to miss a turn. She can also do this in her raid battle which is her instant KO move.
  • Glass Cannon: Some of the offensive characters are this. Captain Hook being a good example, he can barely take a critical hit but can deal an enormous amount of damage with both his basic attack and present bomb.
  • Ground Punch: Buzz's special ability To Infinity! has him fly to an enemy then punch down at the ground to inflict serious damage and stun them for one turn.
  • Happy Dance: If Stitch is wearing his hula outfit in the character roster, then he will happily hula dance in it continuously. And it is as cute as you could imagine it being.
  • Hit Stop: The game does a slow-motion effect when the finishing blow of the round is dealt. This also happens when Duke Caboom is summoned, as he drops in doing a stunt on his Caboom stunt-cycle.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: The Trope Namer himself appears with a passive ability named after his famous catchphrase. It gives him a 30-50% chance to gain Haste and Critical Power Up boosts for one turn upon recovering from sleeping, a stun, or being silenced.
  • Mascot RPG: As a Massive Multiplayer Crossover for Disney, this is a given.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: Kronk is technically a villain in his franchise, but here he is designated a Hero. Hard to argue against that.
    • This changed with his character refresh in February 2022, which gave him a trait that changes him between being a Hero or Villain depending on certain conditions.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Using Stitch's basic ability will have him extend one of his lower arms, allowing him to use up to all four of his arms.
  • Mythology Gag: Several characters' abilities and their names, some of which even involve their sequel material.
  • Nerf: The Golden Hammer previously allowed for an unlimited amount of uses, although it still has to charge up like all the other spells. The 14.0 update limited its use to just once per battle.
  • One-Hit Kill: All Raid bosses have a one hit kill ability that takes four turns to activate.
  • Plasma Cannon: Stitch dual, then triple, then quadruple wields these and fires them when using his basic ability Model Citizen.note  Gantu wields one big one.
  • Play Every Day: There is a daily log-in bonus that awards items each day, with the game counting how many days in the current month the player has logged in. There are also a series of daily quests to complete each day for loyalty coins and Darkwing Duck tokensnote , and two different Summoner Challenges are available for each day of the week, with all challenges unlocked on Sundays.
  • Product Placement:
    • One of the first limited-time events for the game's wide release in March 2020 was an Onward event; the film was released earlier that month. Another one during that same time was a Mulan event to promote the live-action remake that would have been released that month had it not been for Disney delaying its release due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
    • The Frozen characters are primarily based on their latest appearances in Frozen II, and the event for unlocking Elsa is based around Ahtohallen, where the movie's climatic "Show Yourself" sequence takes place. The event is even named after the movie’s song, "Into the Unknown".
    • The game gives away free talismans on certain dates, some of which apply to Disney events.
    • To promote her movie, Cruella De Vil was added to the game.
    • Talismans were also given away for free on new film releases, including those for Soul, Raya and the Last Dragon, Cruella, Turning Red, and Luca.
  • Scare Chord: Big Baby's animation in your roster starts with him facing away from you, before his head does a sudden 180 degree spin to face you with one of these.
  • Shock and Awe: Zap, uh, zaps a single enemy and has a chance to damage adjacent opponents.
  • The Voiceless: Most characters don't have voice lines. The only exceptions so far are Baymax and Donald Duck.
  • We Win, Because You Didn't: The turn timer in the Sorcerer's Tournament forces attacking players to defeat all characters of the defending team in ninety turns in order to win. This trope happens if there are still characters on the defending team, including summons, preventing attacking players from taking the defending player's spot on the leaderboard.
