Line 8:
The Nameless will be fighting against an mysterious Imperial unit known as Calamity Raven lead by Dahau, [[Refuge in Audacity|a Darcsen]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Riela and Imca seem to be shaping up into this. Seeing as this is ''Valkyria Chronicles'', most of the other female characters will also probably end up as Action Girls too.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: Up to 9 units can be deployed at a time, with a maximum of 5 per zone. This is up from the [[Valkyria Chronicles II (Video Game)|VC2]] limit of 6 units, and nearly equals the original game's limit of 9 or 10 (depending on whether a tank is available).
* [[Arc Number]]: 7 is once again a prominent number. In this particular case, Kurt is saddled with this number.
* [[Army of Thieves and Whores]]: The Nameless includes repeat arsonist, convicted murderer, brothel madame, con artist, draft-dodger, sadistic dominatrix, trigger-happy alcoholic, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|money-grubbing mechanic]]. The leader is charged with treason. What a merry band of undesirables!
* [[BFG]]: Lances and some of the later weapons in the game for scouts and shocktroopers.
* [[BFS]]: The fencer's swords.
* [[Broad Strokes]]: For the most part Squad 422 (and their Empire counterpart, Calamity Raven) stays away from the spotlight of war, but the bits about Selvaria can be downright ludicrous, especially if you have played her [[VC 1]] DLC.
** Well, this trope is bound to show up, since at least the first game is [[Unreliable Narrator|read from an in-universe book]].
* [[Boom Headshot]]: Headshots make a reappearance as an important game mechanic: snipers can frequently perform a [[One
* [[Brutal Bonus Level]]: The aptly-named Hard Mission Fragments. Expect to be gangbanged with tanks and armored infantries in the first turn.
* [[Cannon Fodder]]: The Nameless are the [[Cannon Fodder]] to the other [[Cannon Fodder]], the Militia.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
** It also reveals a bit of [[Gray and Gray Morality]] with the Darscens which some will go to desperate states to gain independence. Previous games shown them as being victims, as it shows however, some are willing to become a [[Complete Monster]] if it helped invigorate the Darscens to stand up for themselves.
* [[Death Notification]]: Not only Kurt must bring the news<ref>The task can't be delegated to anyone else, as The Nameless is a penal legion that's not officially recorded in the military</ref> of {{spoiler|Gusurg's}} death to the dead guy's big sister, but he must also explain that {{spoiler|Gusurg died as a traitor to Gallia, having chosen to defect to the invading Empire's Calamity Raven for the sake of a chance for his ostracized people to found their own country. And that Kurt killed Gusurg by his own hands. The big sister faces the news solemnly, stating that Gusurg died for what he believed.}} This is the last straw for Kurt's psyche, and Riela and Imca must talk him to his senses.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: If you studied your American military history, you would know where the official name of the Nameless came from.
** [[Battlefield Bad Company (Video Game)|Doesn't this remind you of another game where you play one of those guys meant to do "the dirty work?" Except you're just an ordinary soldier.]]
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Like the previous two games, this game will have DLC. In addition to DLC missions, there are downloadable "episodes", which contain both episodes and cutscenes.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: The Nameless don't have any of this as they're meant to do the dirty work of the Gallian Army.
* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]: The leader of Calamity Raven is a Darcsen, a race that is widely hated in the Empire.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Guess the use of bio-weapons was the final straw for Gusurg before defecting to the Calamity Ravens}}
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* [[Required Party Member]]: Only half the time in Story missions. You can even choose not to deploy Kurt. Of those who are required, Riela and Imca get the slot most often. In the final battle, whoever you romance become the [[Required Party Member]].
** Each character is the [[Required Party Member]] in their respective [[Sidequest|Fragment]] mission(s).
* [[Theme Music Power
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Hope that Reila being a Valkyria wasn't meant to be a surprise...
* [[The Unfought]]: Selvaria Bles. You would think that Imca would have an epic rematch with her {{spoiler|now that your squad has your own Valkyria[[Guest Fighter|(s)]]}}, but apparently she must fight in another battlefield {{spoiler|[[Valkyria Chronicles (Video Game)|and die there]]}}.
* [[We Are Team Cannon Fodder]]: Your unit. Which is rather ironic, because...
* [[What the Hell Are You?]]: The {{spoiler|Gallian}} unit reaction upon seeing Riela [[One
{{quote| '''Soldier''': "Fire! Fire!" *hail of bullets that Riela's force field immaculately blocks*<br />
'''Soldier''': "How about THIS!" *anti-tank rocket that Riela slash easily mid-air*<br />
