Line 42:
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: "The Separator," his main melee weapon.
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: The reason Ophelia is afraid to explain who Succoria is. Lars, Lita, and Ophelia's parents know a prophecy that someone would come along to destroy or save them. Lars and Lita lean to the former, but Ophelia believes the latter. It turns out he's he child of humanity's greatest hero and nemesis together.}}
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: "Everything in that general direction must die!"
** Practically the [[Fridge Brilliance|philosophy]] that your ground game is more important than [[Real Time Strategy]] skill.
* [[Audible Sharpness]]: The [[Battle Cry]] solo creates a shockwave, justifiably invoking this trope.
Line 81:
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Becomes a demon...and loves every minute of it!}}
* [[Hero Unit]]: To Ironheade.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Humble Hero]]: Eddie himself, who believes that roadies shouldn't take the spotlight away from the band. In the end, {{spoiler|he lets others take the credit for his deeds as well as lets Lita become the new leader of the humans.}}
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]
Line 94:
* [[MacGyvering]]
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Lars and Lita are damn near helpless without him.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Eddie]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Riggs:Derek Riggs|Riggs]].
** And story-wise, {{spoiler|his last name is just an amalgamation of Riggnarock.}}
* [[The Messiah]]
Line 257:
 
* [[Cosplay]]: They dress like Ormagoden when upgraded.

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: In the campaign, you can find a [[Psychonauts (Video Game)|begoggled]] headbanger with a [[Richard Steven Horvitz|suspiciously familiar voice.]]
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Dude, like totally the most ''metal'' example!
* [[Use Your Head]]: They aren't called Headbangers for nothing.
Line 294:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: To avoid a lawsuit, their name was changed from Runaways to Razor Girls.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Very very cheerful in the middle of battle.
* [[Shout -Out]]: They are dressed like the girls from [[Heavy Metal Parking Lot]].

* [[The Squadette]]
Line 368:
* [[The Cavalry]]

Tier 2 anti-vehicle infantry.
Line 404:
* [[Man Child]]: The innocent kind. Even Ophelia calls them "simple minded."
* [[Middle Management Mook]]: Mittens.
* [[Top -Heavy Guy]]
* [[Useless Useful Spell|Useless Useful Unit]]: Bouncers are anti-vehicle units but are themselves slow-moving infantry. Their attacks are so slow that only stationary targets will reliably be hit.

* [[Near -Victory Fanfare]]: It actually plays the music from your base, buffing your infantry.

Line 771:
* [[The Knights Who Say Squee]]: Battle Nuns and Warfathers ask for impregnation by Doviculus often.
* [[Medieval Stasis]]

* [[Geo Effects]]: Find a high spot and launch Agony Balls very long distances to your heart's delight.
* [[Herd -Hitting Attack]]
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: If you look closely you can see Agony Balls have faces sticking out of them, suffering.

Tier 4 uncontrollable melee infantry.
 
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: He CANNOT be commanded by any means.
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[The Berserker]]: It's constantly losing health from the moment it's created, the only thing that will cease its attacks is death.

* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: One of the members does [[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Raz's]] [[Victory Dance]]. He's even voiced by [[Richard Steven Horvitz]].
