History Characters / EpicBattleFantasy

* GamerChick: Two of her {{Idle Animation}}s have her playing a UsefulNotes/GameBoy and a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]]. She explicitly isn't really into the same kind of games as Matt is in ''5'', however.

* AnIcePerson: Uses ice-based attacks.

* CognizantLimbs: Like Neon Valkyrie, it can summon turrets. And powerful bombs.

* GradualRegeneration: And unlike the standard "Regen" status effect, it's permanent and can't be removed.

* OptionalBoss: All of them are optional and have some sort of mechanic that makes them a challenge to fight. Like the other optional bosses, they scale with the player characters and the other optional content they have done, so one cannot just overlevel and oneshot any of them. Their attacks are also only partially elemental, so the player cannot just cheese them with resistance or absorption. Standing above this status more than the other ten are THE MAW (the last one in the Arcade Boss Rush, hits hard, has a much more menacing design, uses a different theme, and has more "buildup" with its machine being dented and its spikes appearing in the overworld, Matt outright says fighting it is like being dumped off to the final boss) and TREAGURE (only fightable with ''90'' Medals, by that point it is highly likely that the player had beaten the game at least once).

* NoCureForEvil: Inverted. Her special status, Undead, prevents the party from healing through skills, and revival skills will leave the target "alive" at 0 HP. Items will still work, though.

* DegradedBoss: Kitten Forts a standard foe in the third game.

* FlunkyBoss: For once in the series, subverted. The Guardian does not summon additional enemies, due to its arms taking up the additional enemy slots.

* OptionalBoss: In the fourth game, a 3-headed Zombie Hydra is the end boss of an optional area. Defeating it doesn't do anything for game progression, with your only rewards being experience, loot, and, if you defeat it on Epic, a medal.

* CognizantLimbs: For a certain definition of "limb". The turrets it deploys in its second phase are considered separate enemies, and can attack and be attacked separately from the main body.

* HealingBoss: Czars can heal the Pyrohydra's other heads or apply Regen to them.

** In ''[=EBF4=]'', all its attacks are magical, and it is susceptible to Syphon. If you inflict it on it, it will just sit there.

* BarrierChangeBoss: Every time it's hit, it will swap between fire, ice, and thunder, which determines the element of its attacks and its elemental resistances and weaknesses. This makes multi-hit attacks risky, since they can exploit the weakness of one form but be absorbed by another form.

* OneHitKill: Its "overflow" attack, which will kill any party member in one hit. This does not inflict the Instant Death status; it simply deals so much damage that the game can't properly display it, instead showing it as dealing 0 damage.

* FinalBossPreview: Both the light and dark aspects of (the mindless and not-yet fully revived) Godcat will separately ambush you in ''4''. [[HopelessBossFight It's impossible to kill her during this encounter, as her stats are insanely high and she avoids all of your attacks]]. You can only stick it out for a little bit as she kills off your party members, and revive whoever drops, because if you survive long enough she'll depart and summon two ice crystal enemies which ''can'' be killed. Incidentally, the ice crystal flunkies are also summoned by her in the final battle.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** If it wasn't made apparent that the party has no hope in hell of actually killing Godcat, let's look at a snippet of her scan values for Normal difficulty: both her Creator and Destroyer forms have well over 570k HP when fought separately, and total a little over 760k HP total when fought [[DualBoss together]], meaning you have to do over ''1.33 million'' HP worth of damage in all to beat her. An incredible feat in and of itself. But remember: this is for their alternate forms. The HP of a single Godcat aspect in its light form? ''5.3 million.'' Again, this is for ''one'' aspect of Godcat (they both have the same HP), and again, this is on ''Normal''. Yeah, killing her off for good is ''not'' happening.
** Trying to kill her is such a hopeless affair that '''she has no death animation''' and no contingency by the game in the event this were to happen. Therefore, if you do kill her (only possible with the aid of hacking), the game simply freezes.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Subverted. Later updates make the Devourer catchable on NewGamePlus. [[spoiler:His summon will clear all statuses from both sides before killing them by destroying the planet. The game then force quits with a frightening Snowflake graphic. Amazingly it ''is'' possible to survive the encounter, providing that any of the players have the stats to withstand it.]]
