EBF4 Unload — Unload's animation, *EBF4*

"My gun's overheating. Better cool it down for a while."

―Lance, Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Unload is a recurring weapon-elemental skill available for Lance.

Description

When Unload is used, Lance will load his gunblade/revolver with six bullets before rapidly shooting them at a targeted enemy. Prior to EBF5, use of Unload would sharply debuff Lance's Attack stat; however in EBF5 Unload no longer has a self-inflicted debuff and instead has a lengthy cooldown time to compensate.

Before EBF5, Unload had fairly little realistic purpose given Lance's focus on magic and the debilitating side effects of Unload. However, its many hits makes it useful for drenching a foe in status conditions, and the re-targeting ability allows it to be used to pick off weak foes. Of course, Antimatter is more powerful and Double Shot offers more precision if the player is farming a foe capable of spawning others (like the Yellow Wasp), but Unload still has impressive power.

In EBF5, the skill's power has been sharply increased. It is now one of the strongest Weapon-elemental skills the players have access to, and can be used with physical Lance builds to deal blistering damage. While it now has a lengthy cooldown (making it unable to be used repeatedly), the hefty power and high critical hit rate of Unload makes it a very powerful attack.

-After being used, Lance's [[Stats|Attack]] drops by 50%, preventing him from effectively using Unload in succession. However, since this only debuffs Attack, Lance can still cast his magic-based skills until the debuff wears off. Alternately, using an Attack buff like Temper or Beer can help counteract the debuff, giving Lance the opportunity to use Unload again.
