Spirit is a Holy-themed foe found in Epic Battle Fantasy 2 and 4.
Appearance
It appears as a sphere of white-purple gas and light, vaguely resembling ethereal flames. Its only notable features are two round hands floating separate of the body and a simple face consisting of two narrow eyes and a jagged mouth.
Overview
Spirits are Holy-based foes that tend to appear late in their respective games. Their most unique feature among enemies in the Epic Battle Fantasy series is the Auto-Revive status they enter battle with. Combined with their penchant for disruptive attacks, Spirits can be an irritating opponent, yet they aren't much strong and die quickly to Dark-elemental skills.
In EBF2, they are fought in the second forest right after the last checkpoint (two in Stage 17, two alongside a Spikey Moth in Stage 18) and the second industrial area (one alongside a pair of Drill Bots in Stage 21). Their Auto-Revive lasts forever until consumed or Dispelled, fully healing them upon the death. Upon a Game Over in the forest area, the game will suggest the player to try using Matt's Unleash skill with the Anarchy sword equipped, for a Dispelling attack that hits Spirit's elemental weakness.
In EBF4, Spirits are found in the upper levels of the Temple of Godcat. They have become less difficult for this appearance: not only they can no longer inflict Syphon onto players, but their Auto-Revive only restores half of their HP, only lasts for the first five turns of the battle and is still vulnerable to Dispel.
