137	*** Sulley: [[WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity Worn-Out Jacket Sulley]]
138	*** Pete: [[WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie Steamboat Pete]]
139	*** Yzma: Lab Coat Yzma
140	* AscendedExtra:
141	** [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Jangles the Clown]] was only a roadblock for one major scene in his film (which has NoAntagonist), but here he is fully playable.
142	** [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Chunk]] was merely a member of Lotso's crew, not even a major one, but here he's fully playable alongside his boss and his second in command, Big Baby.
143	* AutoRevive:
144	** A variant with [[Film/TronLegacy Quorra]]; if she's defeated, her passive ability Re-Rezzed summons her avatar to keep her going. However, her avatar only has a fifth of her power and can only perform ISO Strike and, if the ability is leveled up to two, For the Users.
145	** [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa's]] Glacial Armor let's her avoid death once per battle.
146	** [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Olaf]] has a 5% chance to return from a KO with Water Has Memory. This is increased to 50% if Elsa is on his team. Unlike the others, there's no limit to how often this can go off. A little bit of luck can turn defeating Olaf into a game of Whack A Mole. Within the Raids, he WILL revive unless [[Main/OneHitKO instantly defeated.]]
147	** Then there's [[Franchise/{{Aladdin}} Genie's]] Friend Like Me, which is an AutoRevive for whichever teammate dies first.
148	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Coco}} Miguel's]] leadership, Instrumental Support, grants his Mythical teammates a chance to revive, which increases depending on the number of Encore Notes he has. His passive, Encore!, revives him if he has Encore Notes when he dies, with each Encore Note granting 5% Health on revive.
149	* BadassFamily: {{Invoked}} with WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles: not only can all five members of the titular family (Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack) be put on a team together, but they actually gain stat boosts and extra abilities for being paired with each other, meaning they're stronger together than any of them are solo.
150	* BoringButPractical: The first spell you get in the game, Magic Meteor. All it does is deal damage to all enemies, inflicting no status ailments or buffing your party in any way. It also deals consistently high damage and has a low cooldown.
151	* CarFu: Stitch's ability Blue Punch Puggy has a car fall from above on him, which he catches and throws at an enemy. Nearby enemies are also hit as CollateralDamage.
152	* DifficultButAwesome:
153	** Merida herself does decent damage, but to get the most out of her you need her to get her wisps. It can be tricky planning ahead with her, but play your cards right and she can one-shot tanks.
154	** The Horned King has a slow start to each game since he needs to set up his cauldron, once he gets going though he is very hard to stop due to great health drain and summoning cauldronborn to help him.
155	* TheDividual: [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Pain and Panic]] fight together as one character.
156	* DualWielding: Stitch wields two [[PlasmaCannon plasma blasters]] by default.
157	* EnemyMine: Like ''Disney Heroes: Battle Mode'', it's not uncommon have both heroes ''and'' villains together on the same team at the same time.
158	* ForcedTransformation:
159	** [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Faciler's]] special ability Transformation Central allows him to inflict Polymorph Frog on an opponent for one turn. The opponent can only deal one damage on any enemy when transformed.
160	** Ursula can also turn her opponents into polyps which forces them to miss a turn. She can also do this in her raid battle which is her instant KO move.
161	* GlassCannon: Some of the offensive characters are this. Captain Hook being a good example, he can barely take a critical hit but can deal an enormous amount of damage with both his basic attack and present bomb.
162	* GroundPunch: [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz's]] special ability To Infinity! has him fly to an enemy then punch down at the ground to inflict serious damage and stun them for one turn.
163	* HappyDance: If Stitch is wearing his hula outfit in the character roster, then he will happily hula dance in it continuously. [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter And it is as cute as you could imagine it being.]]
164	* HitStop: The game does a slow-motion effect when the finishing blow of the round is dealt. This also happens when [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory4 Duke Caboom]] is summoned, as he drops in doing a stunt on [[CoolBike his Caboom stunt-cycle]].
165	* LetsGetDangerous: [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck The Trope Namer himself]] appears with a passive ability named after his famous catchphrase. It gives him a 30-50% chance to gain Haste and Critical Power Up boosts for one turn upon recovering from sleeping, a stun, or being silenced.
166	* MascotRPG: As a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover for Creator/{{Disney}}, this is a given.
167	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Kronk is technically a villain in his franchise, but here he is designated a Hero. [[AntiVillain Hard to argue]] [[NiceGuy against that.]]
168	** This changed with his character refresh in February 2022, which gave him a trait that changes him between being a Hero or Villain depending on certain conditions.
169	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Using Stitch's basic ability will have him extend one of his lower arms, allowing him to use up to all four of his arms.
170	* MythologyGag: Several characters' abilities and their names, some of which even involve their sequel material.
171	** ''Franchise/{{Aladdin}}'':
172	*** One of Aladdin's special abilities is named "One Jump Ahead", after his EstablishingCharacterMoment song.
173	** ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'':
174	*** Captain Hook's special ability "Gift from Wendy" is the gifted TimeBomb he gives to Peter (under the guise that it's from Wendy) in the film.
175	** ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'':
176	*** One of Stitch's special abilities is named "Stop Touching Me!", a [[BeamMeUpScotty somewhat misquoted]] reference to the page-illustrating TormentByAnnoyance scene from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch''.
177	*** Cobra Bubbles's basic ability is called "Information is Power", based on a line he says in ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie''. ("Information is power, and I ''like'' power.")
178	* {{Nerf}}: The Golden Hammer previously allowed for an unlimited amount of uses, although it still has to charge up like all the other spells. The 14.0 update limited its use to just once per battle.
179	* OneHitKill: All Raid bosses have a one hit kill ability that takes four turns to activate.
180	* PlasmaCannon: Stitch [[DualWielding dual]], then triple, then quadruple wields these and fires them when using his basic ability Model Citizen.[[note]]He starts out with two, but when he uses the ability, he brings out one of his lower arms holding another after firing for up to four arms. If he has all fours arms out already, he fires them all multiple times in rapid succession.[[/note]] Gantu wields one big one.
181	* PlayEveryDay: There is a daily log-in bonus that awards items each day, with the game counting how many days in the current month the player has logged in. There are also a series of daily quests to complete each day for loyalty coins and WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck tokens[[note]]As of January 2022, it instead gives tokens for Hiro.[[/note]], and two different Summoner Challenges are available for each day of the week, with all challenges unlocked on Sundays.
182	* ProductPlacement:
183	** One of the first limited-time events for the game's wide release in March 2020 was an ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' event; the film was released earlier that month. Another one during that same time was a ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' event to promote the [[Film/Mulan2020 live-action remake]] that ''would have'' been released that month had it not been for Disney delaying its release due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.
184	** The ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' characters are primarily based on their latest appearances in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', and the event for unlocking Elsa is based around Ahtohallen, where the movie's climatic "Show Yourself" sequence takes place. The event is even named after the movie’s song, "Into the Unknown".
185	** The game gives away free talismans on certain dates, some of which apply to Disney events.
186	** To promote [[Film/{{Cruella}} her movie]], Cruella De Vil was added to the game.
187	** Talismans were also given away for free on new film releases, including those for ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}'', ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'', ''Film/{{Cruella}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}''.
188	* ScareChord: Big Baby's animation in your roster starts with him facing away from you, before his head does a sudden 180 degree spin to face you with one of these.
189	* ShockAndAwe: [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Zap]], uh, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin zaps]] a single enemy and has a chance to damage adjacent opponents.
190	* TheVoiceless: Most characters don't have voice lines. The only exceptions so far are [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]] and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck.
191	* WeWinBecauseYouDidnt: The turn timer in the Sorcerer's Tournament forces attacking players to defeat all characters of the defending team in ninety turns in order to win. This trope happens if there are still characters on the defending team, including summons, preventing attacking players from taking the defending player's spot on the leaderboard.
