* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Owing to it being a mobile game, ''[=Dx2=]'' takes several liberties in adapting the standard ''[=MegaTen=]'' battle formula.
** Instead of having an MP stat for each demon that grows with them, every demon has a standardized, non-increasing pool of 10 MP that regenerates by 3 MP at the start of each turn.
** Hama and Mudo Skills have been downgraded to standard elemental magic and no longer inflict a OneHitKill.
** Physical Skills cost MP instead of being CastFromHitPoints.
** In addition to Talking and Fusing to acquire new demons, [[NecessaryWeasel there is now a gacha for demons]], which is standard mobile game trappings. However, Fusion hasn't been obsoleted, as many of the best demons can be obtained through Fusion, and many of the rarer gacha demons cannot be used as Fusion materials without a Common Archetype demon as the second material.

* MagicarpPower: Some demons you get can become fairly powerful with enough investment into them:
** The best example can be the 2-star demon Shadow. It has one of the highest base magic stats,195 at 6-stars, higher than 84% of demons. At a Psychic Archetype (meaning you have to fuse it using a 3-star Psychic Archetype demon), it only gains an extra 5 agility, however, speed is king and most strats are built on going first and hitting hard. and it being a 2-star demon, it can get skill points easily, as opposed to higher rarity demons.

* DiscOneNuke: "Teal Ose," an Ose of the Elementalist archetype will gain the passive ability "Null Phys" upon awakening, making him impervious to all physical damage, while already having no weaknesses by default. As a result, he's gained a reputation as this, especially for carrying players through the early game. Compounding this is that he's very easy to obtain, as he's only a three star demon, and the player starts with an Elementalist Setanta, requiring only a little creative fusion to pass on to Ose.
