Changes: Equipment Effects

Revision as of 20:04, 24 June 2020

In the Epic Battle Fantasy series, Equipment Effects are the special bonuses granted by pieces of equipment (be it weapons, armor, hats or Flairs) beyond stat bonuses, resistances, or on-hit status effects/debuffs. These include boosts to certain types of skills, MP or HP draining, the ability to counter attacks, and special skills that can be cast on hit or used between turns, among other things.

The exact scope of Equipment Effects varies from game to game, with newer games generally having a wider variety of them. Starting from EBF4, most of them scale with the level of the equipment. The following is a list of the different Equipment Effects present in each game and their specific effects.

Epic Battle Fantasy

In EBF the only equipment available is Matt's Swords.

Boosts X

Heaven's Gate : 1.5x more damage with Seiken, 1.2x more damage to the final hit of Legend.
Blood Blade: 1.6x more damage with Drain.
Stone Edge: 1.7x more damage with Quake, 1.2x more damage with Eruption.
Inferno: 1.5x more damage with Eruption
Rune Blade: 1.5x more damage with Seiken.

Drains HP/MP

Drainage completely ignores enemy parameters and targeting mode, depending only on attacker's stat bonuses/buffs and attack's power. For attacks that drain on the last hit, they work even if the enemy died before the last hit lands. Wind Slash only drains based on expected damage against a single target.
- Devil's Sunrise: recovers a % of damage as MP, depending on attack used.
  - Normal Attack: 10% of damage.
  - Wind Slash: 6.(6)% of damage.
  - Legend: 6.(6)% of final hit damage.
- Blood Blade: recovers a % of damage as HP, depending on attack used.
  - Normal Attack and Wind Slash: 50% of damage.
  - Legend: 60% of final hit damage.

Epic Battle Fantasy 2

As with the previous game, the only equipment available in EBF2 is Matt's Swords, each with their own particular effects.

Boosts X

Heaven's Gate : 1.4x more damage with Seiken.
Blood Blade: 1.6x more damage with Drain.
Stone Edge: 1.5x more damage with Quake, 1.2x more damage with Eruption and Iceberg.
Inferno: 1.4x more damage with Eruption.
Blizzard: 1.4x more damage with Iceberg.
Swift Brand: 1.4x more damage with Wind Slash.
Rune Blade: 1.4x more damage with Seiken.
Razorback: 1.1x more damage with Power Metal.

Drains HP/MP

Drainage completely ignores enemy parameters and targeting mode, depending only on attacker's stat bonuses/buffs and attack's power. For attacks that drain on the last hit, if the last hit misses or the enemy dies before it lands, the drain won't happen. Windslash only drains based on expected damage against a single target.
- Rune Blade: recovers a % of damage as MP, depending on attack used.
  - Normal Attack: 3.(3)% of damage.
  - Windslash: 5% of damage.
  - Legend: 4% of final hit damage.
  - Cleaver: 25% of damage done with one hit.
- Devil's Sunrise: recovers a % of damage as HP, depending on attack used.
  - Normal Attack and Wind Slash: 50% of damage.
  - Legend: 60% of final hit damage.
  - Cleaver: 200% of one hit's damage.
It's worth noting that both Devil's Sunrise and Rune Blade have priority over the Mana Leech skill bonus, so the skill bonus won't take effect as long as said swords are equipped.

Unleash effect

Each sword also has their own unique effect when using the Unleash skill; see the skill's page for specific info.

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

Main article: List of Equipment Effects in Epic Battle Fantasy 3

EBF3 introduced an equipment system used in traditional RPGs, with weapons for each character and armor and hats for each gender. As a result, Equipment Effects became much more common and diverse.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Main article: List of Equipment Effects in Epic Battle Fantasy 4

EBF4 introduced a new type of equipment, Flairs. Most equipment effects now scale depending on the level of the equipment.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

-==='''May cast X'''===
-* Chance depends entirely on the initiator/host skill. See the table below.
-* Bonus skill's power is a fraction of host skill's total power, not rounded. See the table below.
-** Scales off (m)atk like usual, depending on the bonus skill itself, not the host skill.
-** Unlike in EBF4, weapon's boost of certain skills will not have any affect.
-** [[Flood]] (cast by [[Nimbus]] and [[Deep Blue]]) is always 1.5x as strong.
-** [[Shine]] (cast by [[Heaven's Gate]] and [[Seraphim]]) acts as if host skill's power is always 40, while the fraction still applies.
-** Snipe and Crush have two bonus skill initiators. If none or only one of them procs, all works normally.
-*** Crush: if both host AND bonus skill's animation is super short and delays applying damage as less as possible AND the initiators are spaced out enough, the bonus skill is activated by the first initiator and gets to hit the target, then is restarted by the second initiator and gets to hit the target again. The only bonus skill fitting into this criteria is [[Red Vulcan]]'s [[Flameshot]]. For everything else, both initiators proccing would result in the second initiator cancelling whatever the first one was going to do.
-*** Snipe: even if both proc, nothing abusable happens — they are called not from Lance's animation, but the animation of the red shrinking aim circle, which is controlled by the same thing that would do the bonus skill, which can only do one animation at a time. Both initiators set the same power for the bonus skill, so the table just simplifies them into one initiator with combined proc chance.

Summons scale with Summon Attack exactly the same as if they had been manually summoned.

-==='''Counterattacking'''===

-** Won't activate with the Defend status.
-==='''Drains HP'''===
-* Effect present only on weapons.

-*Does not affect debuffs inflicted by the weapon.
 ==''Epic Battle Fantasy 5''==

-==='''Increases the strength of buff skills used'''===
-*Effect present on all types of equipment except flairs.
-*Increases the strength of any cast buffs by a flat 10% per piece, for a maximum of 30% increased buff strength.
-*Does not affect buffing items or summons.
-==='''Increases the strength of debuff skills used'''===

-*Does not affect status inflicting summons, and does not increase infliction chance for debuffs.
-==='''May unleash X while attacking'''===
-*Effect only present on weapons.
-*Can trigger a bonus skill when attacking with single target [[weapon-elemental]] skills. The unleashed skills scale with wearer's stats normally and are affected by other special effects from their equipment, like elemental or status boosts.
-**The power of the unleashed skill is specifically set (and can be found in each weapon's page) and may be different from its regular power.
-***For skills with multiple levels, any special effects like debuffs or status effects are taken from its level 1 version.
-*The chance for the unleash to happen is equal to <code>mod * 0.24 * Lv</code> , where <code>mod</code> is a specific modifier unique to each weapon
-**At max level, the unleash chance will be <code>mod * 1.2</code>.
-*It's worth noting that specific skills have increased unleash chance, these are:
-**Natalie 's [[Normal Attack]]s: 5x unleash chance.
-**Matt's Normal Attack and [[Cleaver]], along with Lance, Anna and NoLegs' Normal Attacks: 2.5x unleash chance.
-**[[Unleash]], [[Legend]] and [[Double Shot]]: 1.5x unleash chance.
-==='''Randomly casts X between turns'''===
-*Effect present on all types of equipment.
-*Can automatically cast a spell or summon at the start of the players' turn, before weather effects trigger.
-**When the auto-cast is a skill, just like unleashes, the power of the skill (if it deals damage or heals) is specifically set, and for skills with multiple levels, the special effects are taken from its level 1 version ([[Sharpen]] is the exception, since it's cast at the level you have it at, defaulting to level 1 if the skill hasn't been obtained).
-*** The skill will use the wearer's stats and is affected by other special effects from their equipment, like elemental or buff boosts.
-**When the auto-cast is a summon, its stats are exactly the same as if it had been summoned normally.
-***For skills, it's considered to have been cast by the wearer for the purposes of counters or certain AI targeting. Summons, on the other hand, are considered to have been cast by the weather.
-**For skills/summons cast against enemies, the target is chosen at random, ignoring {{s|Lovable}} on foes; however, they'll never target foes that have {{s|Surrender}}ed (if all foes have Surrendered, enemy targeting skills/summons will be cancelled before being cast).
-**For skills/summons cast on allies, the target is the player with the lowest HP % (ignoring Lovable but respecting {{s|Target}}).
-** Auto-Cast [[Purify]] and Sharpen will always target the player party, they'll never target the enemy.
-*The chance for the auto skill to trigger is equal to <code>(0.1 + 0.03 * Lv) * mod</code>, where <code>mod</code> is a specific modifier unique to each weapon (this is '''NOT''' the same value as the mod for bonus skills)
-**At max level, the chance for the auto skill to happen is equal to <code>mod * 0.25</code>.
-**Can cast/summon only one thing per player in a turn, checking equips in this order: weapon, armor, hat, flairs from left to right. For equipment that has multiple auto-skills/summons, they're checked from top to bottom.
-*** Even if a random cast/summon is cancelled due to all foes having surrendered, it still counts and will prevent anything else further down the order from being cast/summoned.
-* Effect can be triggered even if the wearer is dead.
-==='''Counter-attacks with X'''===
-*Effect only present on weapons.
-*If the wearer is attacked and they get hit at least once from the enemy's attack, they have a chance to counter with the specified skill (attacks that heal the wearer won't be countered).
-**The power and special effects of the skill are taken from its current level, and the skill has to be learned first for it to be usable as a counter
-***For extra skills, it does not matter whether the player has that skill currently equipped or not.

-*** Only exception is equipment that gives the {{s|Target}} status, which, before the v2 udpate, didn't stack.

-*Effect present on all types of equipment except flairs.

-*When hit, sets the user's {{s|Attack}}, {{s|Magic Attack}}, {{s|Defence}} and {{s|Magic Defence}} buffs to the values obtained through the formula (''see below'').
-** This happens after any debuff or statuses are inflicted, which means the buffs will overwritte any debuffs to the 4 stats inflicted by the attack and will happen even if the user is {{s|Dispel}}led by the attack.
-** Also works with healing and revival effects.
-*Formula: [(190 - Current HP %) * (0.6 + level/10)] - 100
-** Current HP % is calculated after the attack's damage/healing.
-** Any negative result becomes 0; the result gets rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 and cannot go above 80.
-** At level 5, the Gi starts buffing the user after they go below 95% HP, and the buff increases by ~5.4% for every additional 5% missing HP, reaching the 80% cap at ~74% missing HP.
-*Due to it setting the user's buff to a minimum of 0, the effect will also remove any debuffs to the relevant stats the user is affected by even if they don't get buffed from the effect (due to being at a high HP %).
-*Unaffected by equipment that boosts the strength of buffs.
