Shockwave is an expert Wind-elemental skill available for Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 3, for Matt, Natalie, and Lance in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, and for Natalie, Lance, and NoLegs in Epic Battle Fantasy 5.
Description[]
When cast, Shockwave engulfs the entire enemy wave in a slightly green-tinted sonic explosion, accompanied by a loud, rumbling boom. It deals medium magical Wind damage to all enemies; from EBF4 on, it also has a chance to Stagger the targets. EBF5 allows it to be focused on a single foe for more damage and a more potent Stagger effect, essentially acting as a stronger Airwave.
In EBF3, Shockwave is one of the party's few sources of Wind damage; however, Lance typically gets comparable or superior results with his other spells. In later games, it makes effective Wind coverage for Lance or Natalie; conversely, Matt (in EBF4) and NoLegs (in EBF5) typically prefer skills that run on their superior Attack stat.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4[]
Shockwave is now a Special Skill available for Matt, Natalie and Lance. It can inflict the newly-introduced Stagger status effect on its targets and its Accuracy is slightly higher than its EBF3 version; on the other hand, its base power is slightly lower.
Shockwave is technically unlocked at the start of the game, although Matt is the first character who can learn it.
