"*A bush screams at you in a foreign language. You're not sure what to make of it.*"

―In-game narration

BOSH is a miniboss and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 introduced in the v2 update. It is found in a secret room behind the Greenwood Village Material/Food Shop. It is a member of the Arcade foes.

Appearance

The BOSH appears to be a small, green bush in a pixelated art style. It appears to have a grumpy expression on its face and seems to have four brown "legs".

Overview

BOSH's main tactic is to cripple the party's stats, with abilities that have a high chance of debuffing Evade, Attack, Defence, and Magic Defence. It can also Dispel the party to counter their buffs, and inflict Tired to further debuff Evade and Accuracy while slightly empowering its Bio attacks.

Its strongest skill is Leaf Storm, a series of four powerful physical attacks that hit random players. When only 2 BOSH's are left they will inflict Berserk on themselves and spam Leaf Storm for massive damage. Once there's only one BOSH left, it'll immediately Flee on its turn.

Like all Arcade foes, BOSH's attacks have a 25% elemental degree, so resistance will do little to reduce their damage.

BOSH gains up to 24% extra Attack, Magic Attack, HP and Accuracy depending on how many optional bosses have been killed, medals awarded and monster cards obtained:

• +1% for each of the 13 optional bosses (counting the Sketch bosses as a single boss) for a 13% total. Bosses included are: ??.@'¬?]-?e??255, Snowflake, The Sketch Boss Rush, Sól and Skadi, Neon Valhalla, Telperion, Vulcan, Crystal Hydra, Matteus, Natalia, Lancelot, Annabelle and God.
• +1% at the 50, 65, 80, and 100 medals thresholds, for a 4% total.
• +0.04% for each of the 50 Monster Cards obtained, for a 2% total.
• +0.2% for each of the 12 Arcade bosses, the 8 Data Bunker simulations, and the 5 1P Challenges in the Battle Arena; for a 5% total.

After level 22, BOSH gains a 5% boost to Attack and Magic Attack, and a 2.5% boost to HP and Accuracy on every level-up (these boosts stack additively, acting as a multiplier). This boost caps out at level 36.

Battle Logic

The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.

Action

• If no other foes are left → Flee;
• If Syphoned, Berserked, or catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Leaf Storm;
• Otherwise → Bushy Vines (1/6), Waterfall (1/6);
  • If the selected target has at least a 15% Defence debuff → Leaf Storm (2/3);
  • Otherwise → Scream (1/3), Leaf Storm (1/3).

*Waterfall always targets the best Dispel target based on player buffs, ignoring Lovable and Target.

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

• 25% and not Syphoned → Waterfall.

Additionally, if there are less than 2 other foes left, BOSH will inflict 3x Berserk on themselves at the start of their turn, increased to 5x on Hard/Epic (this doesn't take up their action). This effect will only happen once.

Summon

The foe can be captured to be used as a summon.
