== [[Turn-Based Strategy]] ==
* Almost every [[Fire Emblem]] game starts the party with at least one tier 2 character. This can be good for beginning players, and useful for taking out early bosses, especially the heavily armored ones. [[Crutch Character|However over using them takes valuable experience points away from all your tier 1 characters so your team can stay unbalanced for far too long]]. Experienced players tend to use them as [[Meat Shield|Meat Shields]] or just forget about them entirely.
* ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'' opens with the player taking control of the level 2000 "[[Badass]] freakin' overlord" (yes, that's his actual title) Zetta (who also has the best stats in the game) during the tutorial battle, who in the first subsequent cutscene [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds|ruins his entire life by accident]] and is rendered unusable as a playable character, despite still being the main character. {{spoiler|When appearing -- in book form -- as a [[Bonus Boss]] in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', he is ''still'' the most powerful overlord in the multiverse}}.
** Another example from in the game is when Alexander tries to kill Zetta, Salome, whose level 1200, interferes and allows you to take him down easily. This is actually necessary since Alexander is level 1000 and unless you're leveling up the [[Bonus Boss|BonusBosses]], you have no chance of beating him.
* ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' has moment of this in both its normal and demon paths. In the normal path, the player can get boasted to level 2000 if they [[A Deal With The Devil|accept Gig's power during]] during the [[Hopeless Boss Battle|first fight with Fienne]], allowing for an easy win, but resulting in a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] afterwords since accepting Gig's deal leads to him taking over your body. Later there's an automatic occurrence of the player getting the same level boast during the 2nd fight with Fienne for no reason apart from the fact that she, like Alexander in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', is far too strong for the player if they been leveling up normally. In the demon path, the player briefly [[Guest Party Member]] in the form of Blazing Ghestal/ {{spoiler|zombie Median the Conqueror}}, who is by far the most powerful unit/character in the game.
