Black Hole in action
Black Hole is a Dark-elemental Limit Break in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It is available for Natalie in Epic Battle Fantasy 3, for both Natalie and Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, and for Natalie, Lance and NoLegs in Epic Battle Fantasy 5.
Description[]
Black Hole creates an implosion of pure darkness which expands very rapidly before exploding violently. This deals massive magical Dark damage to all enemies, as well as some recoil damage to the player's team. Black Hole also has a chance to inflict Instant Death to anything on the battlefield prior to EBF5; starting with EBF5, it has a chance to inflict Heavy to only foes, while it applies Instant Death to the caster alone.
Black Hole is essentially a Dark version of Supernova, boasting not only obscene power but also recoil damage. In fact, Black Hole is one of the strongest skills in the game (barring Cleaver, Supernova and select Summons) and is the single strongest fully-elemental one (barring select Summons), meaning it has the single highest damage potential of any skill in the game, assuming one can find a foe with the maximum Dark weakness (a.k.a. -100% Dark resistance). Unfortunately, it does have some recoil, which is not too dangerous, as well as a small chance of hitting the party with Instant Death prior to EBF5.
While there are considerable amounts of endgame foes that are immune to Dark in EBF3 and EBF5 (as well as The Destroyer in EBF4), Black Hole remains an incredibly powerful skill that can easily obliterate anything that doesn't resist it.
In EBF5, Black Hole was changed to only deal heavy non-elemental recoil damage and Instant Death on the user, and its on-hit Heavy helps it support allied Earth attacks. Unfortunately, the recoil effects are incredibly powerful and accurate, so Auto-Revive and/or Bless are recommended to keep the user from losing their buffs.
