List of Skills in Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The following page lists all Skills available at the player's disposal throughout the course of Epic Battle Fantasy 5.

Some skills when upgraded unlock a stronger version of the same type, the new unlocked skills have different names and images. When a new stronger version of a skill is unlocked, it replaces the previous one, which won't be accesible anymore. For example Matt's Tremor skill will be replaced by the Quake skill, which will be replaced by the Cataclysm skill. These changes are usually just aesthetic and indicative of a major increase in power, but there are a few skills, such as Sawblade and Shredder, which alter themselves drastically after changing into a new skill. In the case of Shredder, this is a change to a multi-target attack at no cost of attack power. Skills can now also function as both single-target and multi-target, with the former typically having increased power and a higher chance of causing status effects. Skills with two animations usually use the same animation as the previous skill type, such as Firestorm's single-target version using the Fireball animation.
