Tropes used in One for Sorrow include:
- Five-Man Band: The heroes seem to be shaping up into this.
- The Hero: It remains to be seen who will become leader, though one will doubtlessly emerge.
- The Big Guy: Levi Haystead is the largest candidate for the position, although that has more to do with his intense belief, rather than any physical strength.
- The Smart Guy: Nearly all the players could fit into this category, but probably either Erica or Levi.
- Teasing Creator: Klawz makes a habit of giving cryptic hints in out of character conversation. It's gotten to the point that he's been known to compare himself to Andrew Hussie jokingly.
- Perspective Magic: Used at one point with a small dreamcatcher, for an unknown reason.
- Upgrade Artifact: Totems. They reflect aspects of people in the form of animals, and give power boosts to their possessors.
- Urban Fantasy: At least at the beginning.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Hayden Newbury.
