** [[ShootTheHostage Hostages are ]][[WhatMeasureIsAMook not people.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Some players have pointed out that killing hostages does not [[ThouShaltNotKill bar]] players from reaching the [[TechnicalPacifist Pacifist ending]], thus there's [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment no ]][[AvertedTrope repercussion ]][[LoopholeAbuse for doing so]] (aside from slightly reducing the bosses' chance of sparing you after your defeat) even after saving them. Looking into the game's code reveals they are actually tagged as ''Structures'', which means they can be ''healed with [[PercussiveMaintenance Hazel's wrench]] just like her turrets and other structures'' (using Hazel's Teardown loadout ''one-shots'' them to restore mana and increase spell power instead).'' Jokingly, this is used to [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman justify]] why [[spoiler:Serif]] in the Neutral ending goes after the player for killing any of the bosses, but not the helpless civilians.[[/labelnote]]

* LowTierLetdown: Bullethell Gunner starts with terrible MP Regen, a minuscule 400 Max HP, and one mediocre 2-Mana spell (Bomb Toss), but his weapon is a no-cost spread shot that deals 10 damage per hit (15 with his starting artifact), which is quite hefty. While he's still rather good despite his flaws [[SkillGateCharacter in the lower difficulties]], once you start facing anything with Defense, his damage output is utterly crippled, and the lack of Atk Dmg boosters and Defense reduction effects make it extremely difficult to counter it. His crippling weakness to Defense was a major reason why weapons got buffed to ignore Defense.
