This is a list of tropes featured in The Walking Dead: The Ultimate Showdown. There are spoilers for new episodes and content.

A

 * Adaptational Villainy: Bradley was a nice guy in Die Another Day who helped the group on various occassions. Here, he is a scientist in league with the main villain, Øyvind.

 * Ensemble Cast: And one pulled from a dozen stories all over the wiki.
 * Establishing Character Moment: Lars makes his debut in the story by killing Dr. Masters.

R

 * The Reveal: This is a Walking Dead fanfiction, so these moments are to be expected.

U

 * Unexpected Character: Many characters in the series were not expected.
 * Rodney from The Walking Dead: Dwight's Story, who Alex has not written since 2017.
 * Bradley from Die Another Day, who only appeared for a few episodes before being killed.

W

 * What Could Have Been: Here's a list of some of the series' original plans.
 * A number of characters were removed from the story due to their creator getting banned for relentless shitposting. They include:
 * Raymond from Dying World.
 * Darius, Abigail, Ruby, and Angela from Stay Alive.
 * Crash Grimes from Post Apocalypse.
 * Tori was originally played by Kelley Mack, but the role was later recast with Bailey Gavulic so that Angela, who was also portrayed by Mack, could be used. Even after Angela was removed from the story, Bailey Gavulic remains the actress for Tori.

Z

 * Zombie Apocalypse: It's the Crapsack World they live in.
 * Zombie Gait: Walkers are usually incredibly slow, as the stereotypical zombie would be. Though they don't say "Brains", they still snarl and growl.
 * Zombie Infectee: Happens uncommonly, but is dealt with pretty well. Affected limbs are amputated if possible, and those who are bitten on the abdomen, the neck, or other irremovable parts of the body are either mercifully put down, or restrained until death. Should they reanimate, they're put down for good.
