Revenge is a physical weapon-elemental skill available for Matt since Epic Battle Fantasy 2.
Description[]
Upon casting, Matt's weapon glows red and he strikes an enemy with a jumping slash attack. Unlike most skills, Revenge's power is not set; instead, it scales with Matt's current health compared to his maximum health, becoming stronger the lower it gets. The exact mechanics of this formula depend on the game.
In Epic Battle Fantasy 3, the aptly-named Avenger boosts the power of Revenge; at Level 4, it gains the ability to counter enemy attacks with it. The Anarchy in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and the Berzerker in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 also have a chance to counter enemy attacks with Revenge.
Although Revenge can be powerful, it has too many drawbacks to be practical. It requires Matt to be at low health and have his allies dead to reach its maximum power; given that it's possible to reach similar or higher levels of damage with significantly less risky set-ups, Revenge is generally very situational at best.

Revenge only applies Black Fang's Poison and the Attack debuff from Anarchy and/or Swordbreaker; it does not support other effects like the MP drain from Rune Blade or MP Leech.
Before the EBF Collection update, the skill didn't gain additional power when Natalie was dead.

Power formula:

Phase two: result * (0.2 + 0.2 * SkillLevel).
At <1% health and max level of the skill, Revenge will have 398 power, with that increased to 998 when all allies are dead. This means the listed "maximum" power values are all actually slightly incorrect, since you can never quite reach those values.
Trivia[]
- Matt's line upon using Revenge the second time in EBF5 references the Undertale boss Sans, which in turn is a reference to skit from South Park.
- The Brown Bear summon in EBF5 uses similar mechanics as Revenge to calculate its power.
