Appearances	Epic Battle Fantasy 4 Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The Flame Wraith is a foe in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5; it's also a summon in the latter game. In EBF4, it is mostly found in Ashwood Forest, the Crystal Caverns, and Graybone Cemetery; in EBF5, it mainly appears in the Mystic Woods and Redpine Town.

Appearance

The Flame Wraith's true appearance is mostly concealed by a ragged brown robe, save for the pale orange horns protruding from the top and a pair of glowing yellow eyes inside of the hood.

In EBF5, the Flame Wraith's hood is larger and adorned with three yellow triangle designs. It also appears to have a set of yellow armlets woven around its sleeves, and the lower half of its robe is a slightly darker shade of brown.

Overview

The Flame Wraith uses single-target Fire and Dark attacks that aren't especially strong, but are capable of inflicting very annoying Status Effects. It's particularly notable for its recurring Hellfire spell, which deals magical Fire damage and drives the victim Berserk. As you might expect, it absorbs Fire; on the other hand, Wind and Water are its most common weaknesses.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

The Flame Wraith can apply Berserk and Burn; it can also cast Grim Reaper in an attempt to instantly kill a player.

The Flame Wraith absorbs Fire and Dark, but is very weak to Wind, Ice, and Water.

It is worth noting that Flame Wraiths can drop Donuts — consumable items that permanently boost Magic Defence by 2%. However, as this is only a 1% chance, it is generally not worth farming for.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

In EBF5, the Flame Wraith inflicts Dry instead of Burn, The Reaper was replaced with a weaker Dark attack that sometimes inflicts Doom, and it will attempt to aim its Fire skills at players with less resistance to the element.

The Flame Wraith absorbs Fire and Holy, but is very weak to Wind, Dark, and Water. This is in stark contrast with other Wraiths that absorb Dark and are weak to Holy, forcing the player to try different tactics if they're encountered together. Shockwave works in any case.

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 4

• Berserked or/and Syphoned → Double Stab;
• Playing on Hard/Epic → Double Stab (5/20), Burst (5/20), Hellfire (6/20), Grim Reaper (4/20);
• Otherwise → Double Stab (1/4), Burst (1/4), Hellfire (2/4).

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

Action

• If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Flee;
• If Berserked → Dark Swoop;
• If Syphoned → Double Stab;
• Otherwise → Double Stab (1/4), Fire Bash (1/4), Hellfire (1/4), Dark Swoop (1/4).

* Fire Bash and Hellfire will prioritize targets that aren't resistant to Fire.

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

• 25% and not Syphoned → Hellfire.

Additionally, if any front line player has equipment that scares Ghosts, the Flame Wraith will simply Surrender on their turn.

Summon

In EBF5, the Flame Wraith can be captured and used as a summon. It casts Hellfire on a single foe, dealing a good amount of magical Fire damage that also makes the victim go Berserk for three turns.
