The Drill Bot, also known as Flybot, is a recurring foe in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It appears primarily around factories and other industrial areas, such as the final stages of Epic Battle Fantasy 2 and the Waste Disposal Plant in Epic Battle Fantasy 4. However it can also be found at Volcano Peak in Epic Battle Fantasy 3, where it was initially used as a mining drone.

Appearance

Drill Bot is a round, flying robot with a propeller on top. It has a large red "eye" on its front flanked by two smaller eyes, has three small landing struts on its underside, and a pair of large drills on its sides.

Overview

The Drill Bot is a recurring mid-tier foe which largely uses non-elemental attacks. While it frequently appears in late-game areas, the Drill Bot is not an overly threatening foe. However, it can still dish out damage and can inflict moderately annoying statuses.

The Drill Bot is notable for being able to debuff Defence in EBF2 and 4, while in EBF3 it can instead Syphon players. It also has a surprisingly strong Bomb attack; while it is derived from different attacks depending on the game, it still deals heavy damage and can take out players. That said, this is the only elemental attack the Drill Bot has in any game; none of its other attacks can be resisted.

In EBF2, the Flybot is weak to Ice, Wind, Bomb and Thunder. However, it resists Poison, Earth, Fire and Dark. Thunderbolt and Airstrike are particularly effective against it.

In EBF3, the Drill Bot is flat out immune to Poison and Earth, though it is quite weak to Bomb and Thunder.

In EBF4, the Drill Bot is once again immune to Poison and Earth, but suffers from weaknesses to Ice, Bomb, Thunder, and especially Wind.

Battle Logic

The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.

Epic Battle Fantasy 2

• Sealed → Drills;
• Otherwise → Drills (1/4), Energy Waves (1/4), Rocket (1/4), Laser (1/4).

Before the EBF Collection update, the Flybot only used Energy Waves when Sealed instead of Drills.

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

• Berserked → Drills;
  • Note: Since the foe is immune to Berserk, this pattern never comes into play.
• Syphoned → Drills (1/3), Energy Waves (1/3), Rocket (1/3).
• Otherwise → Drills (1/4), Energy Waves (1/4), Laser (1/4), Rocket (1/4).

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

• Berserked and/or Syphoned → Drills;
• Otherwise → Drills (1/4), Energy Waves (1/4), Laser (1/4), Rocket (1/4).

Trivia

• The EBF3 incarnation of the Drill Bot has several references to the animé Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
  • Its Bestiary description states: "It's [sic] drills will pierce your heavens." This references a recurring motif/statement in TTGL: "My/your Drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"
  • When the party destroys their first Drill Bot in battle, Lance will comment: "I don't think these guys have the spirit to pull off a Giga Drill Breaker. Good for us!" The Giga Drill Break is one of the iconic attacks of the main robot in TTGL.
• In EBF5, the Mini Drone flair has the same design as Drill Bot, minus the drills.
