"Ouch, that attack takes a lot out of my back! (I need to lift more weights...)" - ―Lance, Epic Battle Fantasy 5
Lance crushing a Flame Sprite, EBF4.
Armor Crush, known simply as Crush before EBF5, is a weapon-elemental skill available for Lance since Epic Battle Fantasy 3.
Description[]
Upon casting Lance pulls out his gun, lunges at a foe and slams them with the gun. This deals weapon-elemental damage, and causes the target to lose defensive buffs in EBF3, or inflict Dispel in other games.

Crush only removes target's Defence and Magic Defence buffs, other stats and status effects remain unaffected. This effect will work even if the attack itself misses.

| Note: Has 2 separate instances of 50% chance to activate bonus skills; for Red Vulcan's Flameshot specifically, both can activate at once, with first one having 100% of host skill's power and second one having 70%. For all other guns, only one can activate at once (and always with the second initiator's power), averaging 75% chance to trigger bonus skills at 70% of host skill's base power. | ||||||
Epic Battle Fantasy 4[]
Crush now properly inflicts Dispel on the target, and is the only weapon-elemental skill in the game to not have its status effect/debuff dictated by the user's weapon. Its prerequisite has been changed to Snipe, making it available earlier on in the game.

Renamed Armor Crush, the skill now allows for the application of debuffs at the same time as Dispel. Status effects are still overwritten by Dispel.
It's 200% status chance at max level is especially useful against buffed foes with partial Dispel resistance.
