Vines
Vines is an advanced Poison-elemental skill available primarily for foes in Epic Battle Fantasy 1 and 3, for Anna in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, and for Matt, Anna and NoLegs in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is one of the few skills whose type varies between games; in EBF4 and EBF5, it is the upgraded version of Ivy.
Description
When cast, a cluster of spiky green vines emerge from under the target, damaging and Poisoning them. It can also somewhat lower Evade in EBF5.
In EBF4, Vines serves as Anna's primary source of Bio damage and should be used accordingly. In EBF5, it's best given to NoLegs for Bio coverage; it's not as strong as Matt and Anna's natural Bio skills (Overgrowth and Razor Leaf respectively), but it does decent damage if NoLegs needs to contribute Bio damage specifically.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5
Vines has returned to being a shared skill, becoming available when Ivy is upgraded to Level 3. It hits four times and debuffs Evade in addition to inflicting Poison; unlike previous appearances, it is now purely Bio-based.
Aside from players and foes, Vines can also be cast by the Overgrowth weather between turns.
