* [[Necromancer]]: If The Hero has Necromancer Class.

** {{spoiler|And also the Arc Attack live event ending...all because they had a guitar and lots of electrical power in their hands.}}

** {{spoiler|And then there's the Etherstorm saga, which was kicked off by the Hero being tricked into releasing Desoloth, one of the most powerful dragons in existence, to wreak havoc upon Lore, and ends with the Hero killing him in order to end this threat to the world -- except that this gives Drakath the opportunity to acquire perhaps his most powerful weapon ever by turning him into a Chaotic Dracolich under his control! Nice job breaking it, indeed.}}

* [[Happily Married]]: In-game and real life.

* [[Real Men Hate Sugar]]: Averted. In real life, he's known to make lots of sweets and goodies.

=== Beleen ===

* [[Informed Ability]]: Said to be one of the great heroes in Battleon, but we have no idea how she fights nor have we ever seen her fight.

=== Twilly ===

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[Royal Brat]]: Yeah...

== Others of Swordhaven ==

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

=== Invidia ===

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[Bad With the Bone]]: Gravelyn's weapon of choice is the Doom Weapon that once belonged to her father. In the Doomwood finale, {{spoiler|she finishes off Vordred with the weapon that she had created from Noxus' skull}}. And in the finale of the second Doomwood saga, {{spoiler|she's purified the blade and made it a weapon of Destiny}}!

* {{spoiler|[[The Champion]]: She is The Champion of Light}}

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Though nominally on the side of Evil, Gravelyn is nowhere near as antagonistic as her father was. Things may change if and when Drakath falls though...

** {{spoiler|[[Light Is Not Good]]: Then its revealed in Doomwood Part II that she is The Champion of Light -- and she's still as evil as she ever was.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: To Artix}}

* [[Expy]]: Of [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit|Jessica Rabbit]], sans the large breasts.

* {{spoiler|[[Gold and White Are Divine]]: When she has white energy, white wings and wields the Destiny Blade which is gold except she is evil}}

* [[High Collar of Doom]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: It's rare for Gravelyn to get truly pissed, but when she does (such as during the start of the Lionfang War), her eyes will start glowing red.

* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Gravelyn has never been able to cast a single Darkness spell, because she is the Champion of Light.}}

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]

* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level In Badass]]: Say hello to the Champion of Light!}}

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Delivers an awesome one of these against Chaos Vordred upon being resurrected, first shearing off both of his arms with the Necrotic Blade of Doom and then unleashing a mega-attack on him that he'd previously used against King Alteon during their duel -- but unlike His Majesty, Chaos Vordred didn't have anything to block it with}}.

** {{spoiler|Except that is not Sepulchure as Gravelyn stated but rather a clone of him.}}

* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: When his armor got chaorrupted by Drakath this happened.

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]: Sepulchure was once one of King Alteon's greatest knights, who went by the name of Valen. Valen and Alteon were both in love with a healer of Swordhaven by the name of Lynaria, and the two dueled for her hand. It is implied that Alteon defeated him, because Alteon would marry her. But when then-Champion of Darkness Dethrix kidnapped her, Valen traveled to the deepest depths of the Necropolis and threw down with him for Lynaria's fate. He lost. Valen's fatal flaw was his inability to accept defeat, and he made a deal with Darkness in the form of the Mysterious Stranger in order to gain enough power to defeat Dethrix and rescue Lynaria, and received the armor that would transform him into the Doom Knight known as Sepulchure. Soon after Valen returned with Lynaria, he turned against Alteon in an event that is largely omitted from the history, but that would begin the war between Good and Evil. Lynaria, who still sensed good in Valen, tried to free him from the cursed armor, only for the armor to strike her down}}.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Xang the Angel Twin - when Drakath transforms her, she is shown to be more evil than Xing the Devil {{spoiler|It turns out that this is because Drakath replaced the good Xang with her very ''evil'' 'counterpart' from the Mirror Realm}}.

** [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: when he's pissed, his eyes become this.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Was like this until...

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Inverted. The hero throws Vath's own sword ''at him'', shattering both it and his Chaos Dragon Amulet and therefore frees Stalagbite from his mind prison.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When he realizes that his Drow soldiers are losing the battle, he becomes extremely pissed off. Cue [[Red Eyes Take Warning]].

'''Associated tropes:'''

* {{spoiler|[[A God Am I]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: His plan was for X'Dir to use the hero to get the four Dracoscintilla to free him. And the plan succeeded. Great work, villain.}}

* [[Happily Married]]: It took a while, but now she's happy to be with Ryuuji.

* [[Merlin and Nimue]]: Nythera frequently plays Nimue to Warlic's Merlin. There's no romantic or sexual content to their relationship though.

'''Associated tropes:'''

=== Mirror Warlic ===

'''Associated tropes:'''

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The Blinding Light of Destiny

* [[Black Knight]]: The black version of his action figure has black armor {{spoiler|and in Gravelyn's Dream Artix dressed in Black Armor which foreshadows an event where Artix gains the armor}}

* {{spoiler|[[Expecting Someone Taller]]: Vordred is expecting Artix to be taller and with a deep voice}}

* [[The Champion]]: To the side of good {{spoiler|and in Doom Wood he is revealed to be The Champion of Darkness}}

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Regarding Artix {{spoiler|being the Champion of Darkness}} in Doomwood saga. To list: {{spoiler|In the beginning, King Alteon doesn't want Artix to go near Doomwood fearing it might awaken his dark powers somehow. When meeting Sally in the Tower of Necromancy, she hinted that Artix was more than just a paladin and the key to Vordred's true invincibility. In Necro U, the lecturers mentioned the art of necromancy involving the Darkness Realm and trapping spirit orbs to reanimate the undead, meantime revealing Artix's axe having hosted multiple spirit orbs gained from slaying the undead. And finally, in the Temple of Doomwood, the Stone Paladin recalls Lady Celestia from Dragon Fable bringing in young Artix to the Paladin Order and his apparent inability to cast light spells as the Hero learns of elemental champions and Artix's "Paladin" abilities come from the spirit orbs from the undead he had slain.}}

* [[Hidden Depths]]: {{spoiler|First off, he is surrounded by spirit orbs that give him the equivalent of Paladin magic. Second, he can use it WITHOUT his special axe on him. Last but not least, he's actually very caring to the undead he releases and wishes them peace in the afterlife. This is the power and purpose of the Undead Slayer}}.

* [[Heroic Dog]]: Daimyo, the Undead-slaying Pomeranian

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Like all other Paladins before him, he falls for the 'Your shoe is untied' ploy.

** Which becomes a [[Brick Joke]] at the finale. When the hero says it, he's able to avoid it...cause the bottom half of him is wearing swimming trunks and no shoes!

* [[Irony]]: He has two things that are ironic for him {{spoiler|he is the Champion of Darkness and he slays dark based monsters}} and on the design notes he is promoting PaladinSlayer when he himself is on the Paladin Side.

* [[Last of His Kind]]: {{spoiler|1=thanks to PaladinSlayer Vordred turning almost ''every'' High Paladin into his undead minions, Artix has become his ''last target''. Even if there were other paladins -- like Yara for instance -- they probably wouldn't be able to harness the same strength and power Artix has.}}

** {{spoiler|Then we find out that Artix is NOT a paladin, but an Undead Slayer due to him being the original Champion of Darkness.}}

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Oh yeah.

** [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|Despite all of this, he actually has greater knowledge of what is going on in Doomwood and seems to be kind to all of the undead spirits he frees.}}

* [[Light Is Good]]

** {{spoiler|[[Dark Is Not Evil]]: However it turns out he is The Champion of Darkness}}.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Krieger means Warrior in German

* [[The Paladin]]: Probably the quintessential example in the Artix Entertainment universe.

** {{spoiler|But in this universe, he's said to not be able to cast paladin magic and his infamous Paladin axe is just a plain old battle axe.}}

* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Vordred reveals during the final battle that Artix is the Champion of Darkness, and that he wants to take his place via [[Klingon Promotion]]. The undead invasion that claimed his family long ago were trying to reclaim him, and Lady Celestia made him an Undead Slayer}}.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: The Blinding Light of Destiny

** As of the latest design notes update, Artix reveals that he's now also afraid of ponies.

* [[The Archer]]: One of the finest archers of all of Lore.

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]

* [[Last of His Kind]]: Zhoom is all that remains of the Sand Elven race destroyed by Sek-Duat.

* [[Offered the Crown]]: {{spoiler|becomes ruler of Sandsea when the player gives him the crown, cause there's still a lot of threats to Lore they still have to fight off.}}

* [[Pointy Ears]]: Comes with the territory for being a half-sand elf.

* [[Expy]]: of [[Twilight (Literature)|Edward Cullen]] he even sparkles

* [[Your Vampires Suck]]

=== Vampire Lord Incubus ===

* [[Evil Albino]]

* [[Expy]]/[[Shout Out]]: To Lord Dracula of [[Castlevania]]. He even has a second form that he turns into at half health.

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Animal Motif]]: The Lion, both in his choice of mount and his armor motif.

* [[Big Bad]]: of AdventureQuest Worlds 1st Birthday and The 2010 Frostval Event

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Burning the Frostval gifts with his whip, complete with [[Evil Laugh]], as well as destroying the globe with the Spirit of Frostval inside}}.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Believes that Good and Evil can never coexist, and is willing to torture people in order to bring them about to his way.

* {{spoiler|[[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: When his armor is destroyed he is shown to have no nipples and has no genitalia}}

* [[The Dragon]]: To Sally and Noxus

* {{spoiler|[[Full Frontal Assault]]: In the last round of the Doomwood Finale, his armor is destroyed leaving his shadow-form completely revealed.}}

* [[Going to Give It More Energy]]: Tried against Vordred in the Arc Attack event in hopes of giving him too much power to handle and destroying him. {{spoiler|It doesn't work}}.

* [[Mage Killer]]: He is the first PaladinSlayer.

* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: {{spoiler|Paladin Magic is useless against him, and there doesn't seem to be a way to defeat him.}}

** {{spoiler|As it turns out, his Nigh Invulnerability is powered by his armor of skulls and his shadow. Only by destroying the armor with the spirit orbs of every undead Artix has slain and pinning down Vordred's shadow with Artix's shadow (a huge black dragon) are Artix and the Hero able to finally destroy him}}.

* [[No Sell]]: Vordred's main schtick is being immune to light-based magic. But as it turns out {{spoiler|only his armor of skulls is immune -- his main body is still as vulnerable as ever}}.
