Line 35:
*** The game will seek confirmation if you try to refresh away task choices that offer Crystals, such that you won't accidentally lose a chance to gain that premium currency.
*** In the A Post-Honkai Odyssey subset, there are a few places, like on bridges, where your character or enemies can fall to their deaths. Your character, though, will just be brought back up to the nearest safe spot with some HP loss instead of dying outright.
*** Also in A Post-Honkai Odyssey, triggering a Chase or Treasure Chest Hunt quest will temporarily make all (other) enemies disappear so that you don't need to waste time contending with them on this [[Timed Mission]].
** In the Empyrean Legends event, bringing a full team of [[Level Cap]]ped characters to an EX stage will unlock a secret weapon in case you've been having so much difficulty beating the boss that you ended up maxing out the levels.
* [[The Ark]]: One of the plans the Previous Era had for surviving the Honkai-induced apocalypse was Project Ark, the sending out of a spaceship to find a inhabitable world to evacuate to. It was never heard from again.
* [[Assimilation Plot]]: {{spoiler|The true, finalised form of Project Stigma involves turning humanity into Stigmata so as to protect them from the final Herrscher's attack, whether they want to or not.}}
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]:
*
** {{spoiler|Diabolic Kevin}} summons such a titan to fight the main trio in an obvious homage to ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'''s Savior.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: The leaders of the three main anti-Honkai organisations conform to this. Anti-Entropy's Sovereign Welt Yang is the Herrscher of Reason, able to conjure legions of war machines from thin air, create and survive near a black hole, and hold his own against the Herrscher of the Void. Schicksal Overseer Otto Apocalypse has replicas of some powerful [[Lost Technology]] weapons. World Serpent Sire {{spoiler|Kevin Kaslana is the [[World's Strongest Man]], a [[Super Prototype]] [[Super Soldier]] of the Previous Era with a [[Flaming Sword]] that creates blasts visible from orbit and whose [[An Ice Person|ice powers]] by themselves can not only freeze said sword and let him kill the Previous Era's Herrscher of Flame who burned down Australia, but a clone with a mere 1% of his power stalemated the Current Era's strongest S-rank Valkyrie Durandal.}}
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: Herrschers, MANTISes and Stigma Awakened can move around in vacuum without petty little details like oxygen.
* [[Beef Gate]]: As you slowly unlock the story content in Elysian Realm, everything starts pointing towards a character who is repeatedly raised but hasn't shown up in person yet: Mobius. Go far enough and you will be taken to meet her, but first you will need to fight {{spoiler|Elysia}}. Until you beat this boss, the story won't progress. Progress further still and you will need to fight Mobius as well to keep the story moving.
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: According to the Second Key comic, {{spoiler|the future King Arthur was a boy who met Kevin and Su and mistook them for Merlin and [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|the Lady of the Lake]]. He later developed natural stigmata because his village was used as a testing ground for Project Stigma. Su took him under his wing to teach him how to use his stigmata and any superhuman feats attributed to him are presumably from that.}}
Line 51 ⟶ 54:
* [[Clock Roaches]]: In "The Day You Vanished With The Stars" event, {{spoiler|the mysterious black-clad [[Malevolent Masked Men]] seeking Kongming's death are creations of the wish-granting Golem programmed to eliminate the anomaly that she is.}}
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: While Valkyries are already superhuman, the battlesuit used affects and enhances how that power is expressed and can change both the type and element. Taking Fu Hua as an example, Azure Empyrea and Phoenix are Psychic Fire, Night Squire and {{spoiler|Herrscher of Sentience}} are Biologic Physical, Shadow Knight is Mecha Lightning, and Valkyrie Accipiter is Psychic Lightning.
* [[Combat Breakdown]]: After trading fire with all kinds of superhuman powers, the final fight between Kiana and Kevin devolves to a [[Batter Up]] duel.
* [[Combined Energy Attack]]: The third phase of {{spoiler|Deliverance Kevin}} has way too many layers of shields, more than every previous boss combined, and the main trio despair that he looks to be beyond them despite how far they've come. Then {{spoiler|Ai rallies not just all the characters but goes [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] and calls in all the players to contribute to the mother of all [[More Dakka]],}} bringing the shields down and leaving the boss vulnerable.
* [[Conspiracy Redemption]]: It is eventually revealed that {{spoiler|Schicksal's Overseer Otto Apocalypse is the one responsible for the return of the Herrscher of the Void and all the harm resulting from that. This leads to St. Freya breaking off to join with Anti-Entropy in battling him.}}
* [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: In A Post-Honkai Odyssey mode, quest targets will not be insta-killed by [[Back Stab]]s. Doing one will still inflict more damage than any standard hit, though, so it's still a good idea to open with one.
Line 65 ⟶ 70:
* [[Faustian Rebellion]]: A number of Herrschers chose to fight for humanity rather than fall in line with the Honkai.
* [[Four Is Death]]: The Fourth Herrscher, {{spoiler|Wendy}}, is the first character to die, and this happens in the fourth chapter.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Kevin was previously just an [[Ordinary High School Student]] interested in basketball and his crush, while Otto was physically weakly and not the designated heir to his family.
* [[Full Set Bonus]]:
** Most Stigmata come in three-piece sets. Putting two together grants a bonus and having all three on the same Valkyrie grants a second one. These bonuses are powerful enough that, outside of a few specific cases, equipping a Valkyrie with a complete set is recommended.
Line 113 ⟶ 119:
* [[Villain Shoes]]: Chapter 31 has a [[Player Punch]] sequence where [[But Thou Must]] control {{spoiler|the Herrscher of Corruption as it fights and kills... sort of... some characters.}}
* [[Virtual Ghost]]: The Elysian Realm stores sims of the Flame-Chasers, 13 legendary [[Super Soldier]]s from the Previous Era.
* [[Wham! Line]]: In Chapter 32, a character unexpectedly hits Mei with the claim that what the latter's about to do is in line of something the Herrscher of {{spoiler|Human}} - a thought-dead character - would.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: The Flame-Chasers were far stronger than anyone in the Current Era; an imperfect copy of their [[World's Strongest Man]] with just 1% of the original's power stalemated the Current Era's best Valkyrie. The Herrscher of the End/Finality was so much stronger than them in turn that of the eight remaining sent to fight her, two were dead within five minutes of battle start, and said strongest using all his power was only able to temporarily immobilise her for 12 hours.
* [[World of Action Girls]]: Almost all playable characters are female. The in-universe justification is that women are more likely to be resistant to Honkai than men and there are thus more female Valkyries.
* [[You Are Too Late]]: At the end of A Post-Honkai Odyssey 2, {{spoiler|Lucheni is apparently defeated, and then the Arcane Castle reactivates and creates a Stargate far bigger than any before. The squads defeated Lucheni too late to prevent the alien invasion.}}
* [[Zero Effort Boss]]: The final [[Batter Up]] duel between Kiana and Kevin doesn't have a health bar for the former, so the player can completely abandon finesse and not worry about losing at this point.
