* AwesomeButImpractical: Clause’s inherent trait, Abbreviation, reduces casting time, something that would normally be incredibly useful. However, Clause is a StoneWall with little offensive ability, meaning this trait rarely comes into play.
* BrutalBonusLevel: The Memories of Strong Battles serve as this.
* TheCameo: Sese Kitsugai and Sukune Katano don’t have a role in the game proper yet, but they make an appearance on the “New Game Bread” recipe.
* ChristmasEpisode: The Christmas Frontlines stage added for Christmas 2021 serves as this, with the player facing off against Santa Clause and three [[TheDividual (groups of)]] Christmas Ghosts.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Hooaka’s cafe stats boast the highest Cooking Speed in the game but otherwise lackluster stats. Not helping is that Cooking Speed is the most situational of the three stats.
** Downplayed with Waiter Form Tsubakura, who has the highest Walking Speed, but since it’s a much more useful stat than Cooking Speed, they tend to see a lot more action.
* TheDividual: Each Christmas Ghost is actually three ghosts grouped together as one unit.
* FragileSpeedster: Tsurubami has balanced but somewhat low battle stats aside from their high Speed, and their Party Skill increases the team’s Movement.
* GlassCannon: Tsubakura and their variants are this to varying extents. Also applies to Ink Bird, having surprisingly high Attack and Speed for a B Rank unit but otherwise poor stats.
* LethalChef: Tsubakura has by far the lowest Cooking Speed in the game in both their regular and Waiter variants.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Normal Clause has the lowest Cafe stats, but they possess a useful unique ability that makes customers eat faster. Contrast their Santa Clause variant, who has higher stats but a less useful ability.
* LightningBruiser: Kurohebi has all-around high battle stats with the exception of Special Attack.
* MasterOfAll: [[TheAce Tsurubami]] has high Cafe stats in all areas but lacks a unique ability.
* MoneyMultiplier: Kuroji’s Cafe ability increases the amount customers spend on dishes.

In addition, only S Rank units get Bombs, Flash Bombs, and Party Skills. On the other hand, lower-ranked units are easier to get to DEEP 4, and there are a few non-S Rank units that have managed to carve out a niche, such as [[StoneWall Large Ink Core]] and [[GlassCannon Ink Bird]].
* StoneWall: Clause’s combat skillset revolves entirely around taking hits, though they lack any offensive prowess. Chef Form Yabusame, meanwhile, has higher raw stats, but lacks Clause’s useful flashbomb. This also applies to Large Ink Core and the various Sword Fairies.
