Air Strike is a Bomb-elemental skill available for Matt and Lance throughout Epic Battle Fantasy series. It summons randomly chosen missiles and bombs to strike foes from above. Depending on the type of projectiles dropped, the damage output and number of enemies targeted varies.

Description

Air Strike currently appeared in all games of the main series. In Epic Battle Fantasy 1 and 2 as one of Matt's skills and in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4 as one of Lance's skills instead. It is Lance's primary way of dealing magical Bomb elemental damage and is quite often useful throughout entire game. Equipping Bomb elemental weapons, such as Mini Bomber will boost the power of Air Strike.

Instead of having a set power, this explosive skill brings death from above by dropping randomly chosen projectile onto the enemies. There are three possible outcomes:

• A huge bomb with a peace sign lands in front of an enemy dealing high damage to a single foe.
• Three small missiles lands in a line and explode in sequence dealing moderate damage to all foes, hits 3 times.
• A massive black missile with red-glowing markings lands on the enemy wave and explodes, leaving a small black void behind dealing massive damage to all foes.

Stats

Epic Battle Fantasy

Air Strike is one of skills under Matt's "Special" category. It costs 50 MP to use and is not affected by any of player's attack stat changes (but still affected by target's defence debuffs). Only two "basic" types of bombs are available in this game.

Epic Battle Fantasy 2

Air Strike is now normally affected by user's magic attack stat changes. Additionally, a third type of bomb have been added, it combines the effects of the two, being able to hit entire wave of foes for massive damage, this missile may also reduce target's defence upon impact. Unlike other skills, Air Strike's power is not shown on the HUD; based on tests small missiles power is ~90, while normal bomb and "secret" missile is ~150.

Two Skill Bonuses are available to improve Air Strike:

• Secret Weapon - Adds a new type of bomb for Air Strike
• Aerial Support - Air Strike activates randomly between turns

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

This time spelled Airstrike, instead of being Matt's skill it is now moved into Lance's "Backup" skill category. Third type of missiles is now always available, with higher skill level increasing the chance for it to show up, though it no longer decreases target's defence. Army Jacket may randomly cast Airstrike between turns when forged onto fifth level. In order to unlock Airstrike Lock On and Flameshot need to be learned first as prerequisites.
