Debilitate being cast on a group of foes, EBF4
- "That's their defence crippled. Have at them!"
- ―Lance, Epic Battle Fantasy 4
Debilitate is a recurring debuff skill in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It is available for Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 3, for Natalie and Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, and for Matt, Natalie and Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is the physical counterpart to Enfeeble.
Description
Upon casting, a formation of small red squares appear in front of the enemy team before shattering in rapid succession, going from the upper-left corner to the bottom right corner from the player's perspective.
Debilitate has a high chance to debuff the Defence of all foes, enabling physical skills to deal much greater damage to the afflicted targets. It can also be used to compensate for enemy Defence buffs or player Attack debuffs.
Epic Battle Fantasy 3
Debilitate is one of Lance's natural skills.

Debilitate is a Special Skill available for Natalie and Lance. It is found in the Waste Disposal Plant, inside the rightmost chest on the toxic pool screen; the chest is guarded by a battle that appears as an Yellow Jelly.
Debilitate requires more AP to fully upgrade (due to higher costs per level and having four levels instead of three), and it has a chance to fail even on foes not resistant to Defence debuffs (until it's maxed out in the v2 version). On the other hand, its MP cost is a little lower per level and it maxes out at a slightly higher debuff strength.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5
Lance joins the party with Debilitate already learned at Level 1; if removed from him, it can be taught to Matt or Natalie as well. It now has a 5-turn cooldown and costs more AP to fully upgrade, but its debuff strength has increased significantly and its success rate is slightly higher per level.
