* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Amanite

* [[Heroic Trio]]: [[Two Guys and a Girl]] is perfect, as are three guys or three girls. [[Two Girls and a Guy]] (like our protagonists) will ding your grade, and [[Four Is Death|adding another teammate]] is right out (unless you're going for a Four [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] theme).
* [[Hit Points]] / [[Life Meter]]: Subverted in Chance and "Archangel"'s fight -- they can't hurt each other, but they're judged by how popular they are with the spectators.
