Added DiffLines:

* DumpStat: Dexterity. The stance system allows you to add one point to a given stat at the expense of one point from another stat, and Dexterity is usually considered expendable. This is because its only purpose is to reduce cooldowns on attacks, theoretically producing tighter combos. However, most weapons' combos don't benefit from anything but very high Dexterity, so one extra point isn't going to make a noticeable difference.


Added DiffLines:

** This has been mitigated with an update that lists all such attributes for each character in the "Meet the Legends" page.

* {{Expy}}:
** Bödvar is based very closely on Bödvar Bjarki from Literature/TheSagaOfHrolfKraki.
** Thor, Loki, and Munin are all direct copies of their namesakes in Norse mythology...with some modifications. Loki, for example, is a master of using multiverses and portals, while Munin is a ''rock star''.
** Similarly, Ulgrim is one of the unnamed Sons of Ivaldi from Norse mythology. His lore even references the contest that the Norse gods set up between the Sons of Ivaldi and the dwarves Brokkr and Eitri.
** Red Raptor is clearly an Expy from the Franchise/SuperSentai franchise.
** Zariel is based on Sariel, an archangel from Hebrew mythology.



* FourFingeredHands: Everyone, even crossover characters who normally have five fingers now only have four. Some legends have even fewer fingers.

to:

* FourFingeredHands: Everyone, even Everyone. Even crossover characters who normally have five fingers now only have four. Some legends have even fewer fingers.



* MeaningfulName: Quite a few legends' names have significance to their characters:
** ''Arcadia'': an arcadia is an idealized pastoral paradise (which her kingdom of Arcadia is supposed to be).
** ''Azoth'': Azoth is a substance in alchemy which was supposed to be the animating spirit of the body. Azoth, an undead king, is constantly being brought back to life by his followers.
** ''Cross'': A reference to the term "double-cross" - a maneuver that Cross used quite a bit in his lifetime.
** ''Diana'': Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt, and the legend Diana is a monster hunter.
** ''Fait'': A punny spelling of "fate." Fait is a fortune-teller, so she can see people's ''fates''.
** ''Kor'': His name is basically "rock" backward. Fitting for a golem.
** ''Magyar'': ''Magyar'' is the Hungarian word for "Hungarian." An odd choice, since Magyar is from Batavia, a region in the Netherlands.
** ''Mako'': A mako is a species of shark.
** ''Mirage'': A mirage is a desert phenomenon where refracting light causes phantom images. Mirage, a desert-dwelling legend, uses a magic-based fighting style which relies heavily on false images like mirages.
** ''Nix'': Nyx was the goddess of the night and the underworld (the world of the dead) in Greek Mythology. Nix is a reaper, so the name fits.
** ''Onyx'': Onyx is a type of stone, and Onyx is a human spirit trapped inside a stone statue.
** ''Petra'': ''Petra'' is the Greek word for stone. The legend Petra wields an especially powerful type of stone as a weapon...
** ''Scarlet'': Scarlet is a [[FieryRedhead redhead]].
** ''Sentinel'': He acts as a sentinel, or guard, for the people he protects.
** ''Sidra'': Sidra is named after the Gulf of Sidra on the coast of Tunis, where corsairs like her operated in real history.
** ''Teros'': The Minotaur's name is a corruption either of the Latin ''taurus'' or Spanish ''toro'', both of which mean "bull."
** ''Tezca'': He's named after [[Characters/AztecMythology Tezcatlipoca]], an Aztec god whom his lore implies he channels in his signature attacks.
** ''Vector'': A vector is a mathematical quantity with a magnitude and direction - very useful for pilots such as Vector.
** ''Yumiko'': Her name means "bow child" in Japanese (a reference to her using bow).



* {{Ninja}}: Hattori and Jiro are Ninjas and have sneaky moves, tough Hattori's moves rely more on smoke teleportation and Jiro in creating shadow clones.

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed:
** Koji (and perhaps Jiro as well) is based on UsefulNotes/SasakiKojiro, a famous samurai from Japan's Sengoku period.
** Sir Roland is a clone of the real-life [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Roland]], a knight under Charlemagne.
** Thatch is a copy of Edward Thatch (or Teach), also known as UsefulNotes/Blackbeard.

* OurLichesAreDifferent: Azoth, described as a Lich Lord, seems to use magic mostly as a way to power his normal attacks, rather than being the focus of his fighting style. Also, it seems that the seven stones that serve as his philactery cannot be destroyed, only hidden.

** Ada's title, "Ghost in the Machine", is likely a reference to ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'', or to Creator/IsaacAsimov's writings.

** Similarly, the Nightshade Ragnir is a reference to another Ubisoft game series, ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' (the included katars skin is even called "Hidden Blades").

** Hattori is named after UsefulNotes/HattoriHanzo, one of the most famous ninjas of history.



** The Thrill Kill Hattori skin is described as "Only Hattori, [[Film/KillBill The Bride]], and [[Creator/BruceLee Bruce]] can pull off this look". Her Kitsune skin reads "[[Music/{{Ylvis}} What does the ninja say?]]"
