* DeathOfAThousandCuts: each bullet does a small amount of damage relative to the bosses' health bars, but said damage can be dealt quite rapidly.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Played ''twice'' in the sequel. [[spoiler:Boss 15, the giant eagle, is this for Normal mode and boss 18, yet another giant robot, is this for Hard mode]].

* {{Unobtainium}}: [[spoiler: Final Tech gear late into ''Insane'' mode.]]
* WaveMotionGun: The sequel has an ability called "Line Blast" on some suits. [[spoiler: Overlapping with PlayingWithFire, an endgame ''Insane''-mode suit has the powerful Fire Blast ability, which does massive damage and ''destroys enemy bullets in its wake'']].

* GoForTheEye: The last boss's weak spots are in it's eyes.

* Cooldown: The special abilities naturally have these, but the second game devotes a stat to reducing their duration for more frequent ability use.

* EquipmentBasedProgression: {{Zig-Zagged|Trope}}; the sequel has you spend money on increasingly strong armors, accessories, {{Attack Drone|s}}, and even consumable items, to get stronger. All of these do this by granting stat upgrades.

''Epic Boss Fighter'' is a flash game on Newgrounds. A second game was released with 3 modes and 20 bosses.
