Videogame Archetypes
Videogame Stat Archetypes are based on the stats of videogame characters. Video game archetypes are tropes and/or archetypes.
Glass cannons
A glass cannon is a character that has good attack and abysmal defenses. A lot of times glass cannons are also fragile speedsters.[1] An example of a glass cannon is Attack Form Deoxys from Pokemon. It has 180 attack and special attack, but has 20 in both defenses.[2]
Fragile speedsters
Fragile speedsters have high speed and often high evasion stats and also have low defense and/or HP. As stated before, some fragile speedsters are glass cannons as well. Because the character would be killed before being able to kill. Fragile speedsters are often ninjas or spies. [3] An example of a glass cannon is Tracer from Overwatch. She is extremely powerful at short range, is really fast, has high evasion, but only has 150 hp (the lowest in the game).[4]
Mighty glaciers
Mighty glaciers have high attack and defense but low speed. The mighty glacier sacrifices speed for more attack and strength. These characters are usually big and heavy.[5] An example of a mighty glacier is Robo from Chrono Trigger.
Stone walls
The stone wall is the inverse of the glass cannon. It sacrifices attack and speed for defenses[6]. An example of a stone wall is Q from Street Fighter 3.
Jack of all stats
A jack of all stats has okay attack, okay defenses, and okay speed. It is okay at everything. They are good at everything, the best at nothing.[7]
Master of all
A master of all is a character with the defenses of stone walls, without the slowness. The speed of fragile speedsters, without being fragile. The attack of glass cannons, but made of diamond. It is a character that is too good at everything.[8]
