The Seaweed Chomper is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is largely found along the Rainbow River.

Appearance

The Seaweed Chomper's body is a thick black vine with small yellow speckles, ending in a single blue eye. It has a huge grey mouth with a brown interior and squared white teeth; a pair of pink sea stars can be seen atop its upper jaw. It has several dark green fronds of Seaweed along its body, with the ones near its mouth having thin yellow stripes and the ones near its base having small holes or bite marks.

Unlike the Leafy Chomper and the Magma Chomper, the Seaweed Chomper doesn't have drool or fluid within its mouth.

Overview

Aside from the usual Chomper trait of biting players to restore its own HP, the Seaweed Chomper specializes in making the party Wet, either with its Sea Root attack or by summoning Rain. It will then follow up with powered-up Thunder skills, including a variant of Thunder that can be cast three times in succession. These attacks can Stun and Stagger, but the chances are low enough that it will rarely be an issue; however, keep in mind that the Chomper will aim for players with less Thunder resistance if possible. Furthermore, it can reliably debuff Magic Defence with a screech, further empowering its Thunder spell and the magic attacks of its allies.

However, the Seaweed Chomper's Rain can be used against it; while it absorbs Thunder, it's severely weak to Ice, and its tendency to Wet itself further amplifies that weakness. Attempting to Freeze it is more difficult, due to a 50% resistance, but a dedicated status build should be able to circumvent that and keep it immobilized with some consistency; even applying Chill can be effective, given its tendency to Wet itself. It is also highly vulnerable to Holy attacks, which are especially effective if it's been Frozen or if it hasn't managed to Wet itself.

On the defensive side of things, it's best to buff the party's Defence to endure the Seaweed Chomper's physical attacks, since it's somewhat resistant to Attack debuffs. On the other hand, debuffing its Magic Attack is more effective for neutering its spells, since it will often debuff the party's Magic Defence.

Aside from Ice and Holy, the Seaweed Chomper has lesser weaknesses to Earth and Wind; on the other hand, it absorbs both Thunder and Water. Like most mid to high-tier foes, it resists Stun, Chill, Freeze, and especially Doom and Instant Death; additionally, it somewhat resists Attack and Defence debuffs. If "More Foe Resistance" is enabled, it becomes neutral to Wind and Holy and strongly resistant to Attack/Defence debuffs; it also gains a strong Bio absorption.

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.

Action

  • If Syphoned, catch score >55, and all players are Lovable → Surrender;
  • If Syphoned → Chomp (1/2), Sea Root (1/2);
  • If Berserked;
    • If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Rain;
    • Otherwise → Sea Root;
  • Otherwise;
    • If a randomly selected player has at least a 10% Magic Defence debuff;
      • If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Rain;
      • Otherwise → Chomp (2/8), Sea Root (2/8), Rain (2/8), Shock (1/8), Thunder (1/8);
    • Otherwise → Debuff (1/5);
      • If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Rain (4/5);
      • Otherwise → Chomp (2/10), Sea Root (2/10), Rain (2/10), Shock (1/10), Thunder (1/10).

* Shock and Thunder will prioritize targets that aren't resistant to Thunder.

The Seaweed Chomper was originally supposed to have a 33% chance to counter with Sea Root when Counter-Attacking Foes was enabled, but due to an oversight this counter cannot actually trigger.

Additionally, if any front line player has equipment that scares Trees, the Seaweed Chomper will inflict Berserk on themselves at the start of their turn (this does not take up their action).

Summon

The Seaweed Chomper can be captured and used as a summon. It is the only way for the player to manually cause the Rain weather.
