YMMV / World Flipper

Go To

  • Awesome Art: The characters designs are all drawn in a vibrant art style with an eye catching color palette.
  • Awesome Music: Has its own page.
  • Complacent Gaming Syndrome: Answer that bell for co-op boss fights, and nine times out of ten, it's Orochi - mostly due to people farming the whopping 500 gold denarii needed to recruit Murakumo, but also because of the lavish EXP and Mana rewards. This becomes a problem when you need Mana Board crystals to improve your units, which the other bosses have in their shops, but Orochi does not. Worse still, very few items in Orochi's shop cost silver denarii, which drop in far greater amounts from Orochi than the gold denarii; by the time you're done grinding enough gold for Murakumo, you can expect to have more than 1,000 silver denarii that are completely useless.
    • Also, you can expect most co-op teams to use anyone in the Game-Breaker list below, usually with Sha Suzu as main and Owlbert as sub.
    • Water teams will almost always have Rahkisha, thanks in part to giving out 100 percent skill gauge to the entire party. The same applies to Half-Anniversary Nephtim and her Yukata variant for Light teams.
    • Fire teams will almost always run Nicola with Holiday Bianca as her sub-unit. This is because of their abilities synergizing well with each othernote .
  • Fan Nickname:
    • "Sushi" for Soushiro. Meta teams that use him as the main burst damage dealer are also called "Sushi" teams.
    • Sha Suzu is commonly abbreviated to "SSS".
  • Game-Breaker: There's a few units you'll see recommended in teambuilding and known for being rather busted, even outside of their element:
    • Sha Suzu is a 3-star unit, but she's hailed as a necessary part of teams by many people, and argued to be better than some 5-star units for her sheer utility. Sha Suzu fills her own skill gauge fully at the start of a battle if set as main, and then boosts the team leader's attack and skill damage significantly due to both her Skill and combined passive abilities. When placed as a main member of a team with the leader being a skill-damage-based attacker like Ellya or Rams, she essentially sets up a free nuke for them.
      • For bonus points, equip the leader with Whitetail's Axe, which buffs the holder's Skill Damage with each Thunder unit's Skill activation 40% at a time, up to 200%. Sha Suzu is set as main on off-element teams specifically to proc the axe's effect and add further to the leader's Skill Damage buffs.
    • Owlbert is a humble 2-star who may join after beating Viento Solas in Chapter 1 EX 4-1. He has no Leader Talent or third Ability due to his rarity, but his Owl Blast Skill buffs Attack and Skill Damage for the entire room (meaning it buffs co-op parties too), and on top of that, he provides Levitation for several seconds, making combo-building easy and gravity fields a non-issue. This makes him one of the most popular units to sub to Sha Suzu, further piling on the buffs for Skill Damage-based Leaders to nuke the enemy.
    • Ellya herself is quite good at breaking the game. As mentioned above, she's an attacker unit based on her skill damage, but she can stack buffs on herself very quickly. She buffs her skill damage any time a Light unit in the team activates their Skill or when she is healed, and when her Skill goes off, she buffs her own attack. Furthermore, her skill damage actively increases itself for the number of buffs she has on herself, and she can stack that attack self-buff up to 5 times. Her leader buff also further increases the amount of damage she can put out, as it doubles the skill damage of all Light units in the party. Even more game-breaking because she's only a 4-star.
    • Vyron has Killing Territory, a Skill that not only grants Pierce, but generates a wide area-of-effect circle that does significant damage and lasts several seconds. It's very useful for clearing up mobs and wiping a boss clean of weak spots with one well-aimed shot. Combined with his Attack buffs, he makes a popular sub unit to many off-element leader characters and is considered essential for higher-level content like the Level 70 Necropolis runs.
    • Rams hits like an absolute truck with Thor's Hammer, adds 150% Skill Damage to Thunder units with her Leader Talent, won't potentially whiff like other characters will because it always hits the closest target, and does even more damage on a Paralyzed target. Add in some Thunder Resistance Down debuffs on the enemy and Sha Suzu's Calibration, and your damage will be in the millions, even moreso if the target is also downed and you have Murakumo's Crescent Noon active. Like Ellya, she's only a 4-star as well.
    • Soushiro is the loose Wind equivalent; his Leader Talent gives 110% Skill Damage and 30% starting meter to Wind units, he hits in a cross pattern (which is annoyingly easy to whiff on single targets, but also can hit all three of Orochi's heads), and can start with up to 70% of his own meter as a main unit. To top it off, he's also only a 4-star. Almost all Wind teams currently main him or Celtie.
      • This does not apply to his limited Christmas variant, unfortunately; that one falls under Low-Tier Letdown.
    • Murakumo requires a whopping 500 gold Orochi coins to recruit, and for good reason: he's a 5-star unit whose Crescent Noon Skill buffs Attack, and more notably, buffs the party to do insane damage to downed/broken enemies, making him a potent sub unit for any DPS unit.
    • Metis can max out the Fever gauge on her first Skill activation, meaning that when paired to someone like Alk who grants instant meter, she enables Fever-oriented characters like Regis (who gets insane Skill Damage buffs in Fever Mode) to nuke the boss right at the beginning of the battle rather than having to gradually build up the Fever gauge first.
    • Kanon is a simple 4-star unit yet she is one of the most damaging unit in the game, capable of even outdamaging 5-stars. Kanon's abilities boosts her attack based on her combo count and further boosted by her Mana Board 2 which boosts her skill damage when she has a combo of 10 or more. This all culminates in her skill which gets stronger with her combo count. Kanon is so strong that's she's used in many one-shot teams and can even take on high-level content such as Regitare Hell.
  • Genius Bonus: One of the Administrator's Skills is named "rm -rf /*", a Linux command that deletes everything in a root folder.
  • Ho Yay: Wouldn't be a Cygames' game without some.
    • A LOT of with Marina and Amelia with Amelia being practically head over heels for Marina. Amelia is also very smug about her closeness to Marina especially in front of her crew of admirers, smugly stating that she's already taken a bath with Marina.
    • Stella has a LOT of moments with the countless female characters they encounter. In fact, majority of the cast gravitate towards Stella.
    • Claw and Albert are act a lot like a married couple.
  • Low-Tier Letdown: Applied to character portal banners more than specific characters; banners that consist entirely of low-tier characters, like the first Christmas banner, are actively recommended against by metagamers since if the Global version follows the same path that the Japanese version has over the past two years, they know which banners are the better ones to save for.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Sha Suzu is the game's only 6* character."Explanation 
  • Popular with Furries: When you have prominent kemono characters like Light, Nimbus, Mia, Shirano, Claw, Albert, Klaus, Helga, Cody, Lou, Theo, Faf, Rams and Wagner, and then devote an entire chapter to Fang Canyon where several of them reside, it's to be expected.
    • Mia and Shirano getting limited summer event swimsuit variants in particular caught many artists' attention globally, even before the game's Global release in September 2021. It helps that both units are quite good in their respective archtypes, with Summer Mia being quite a potent DPS sub unit and (after her rework) an extremely strong leader for a Fire Power Flip team, while Summer Shirano is a very effective debuffer for Water Direct Attack with an extremely rare party-wide skill charge rate buff, making both of them quite valuable actual gameplay.
  • Woolseyism: The Global English script often spices up the dialogue in subtle ways. Sometimes, it's a blatant Shout-Out, like how Hanabi's dismissal of making stereotypical ninja sounds was changed to a Take That! against Naruto's Catchphrase, and other times, it's something like Nimbus commenting on a princess' lack of bodyguards being altered from something akin to "You're not a pauper" to "You're royalty, right? With blood bluer than a mandrill's ass."
