Enemy Abilities (GBA)

From Golden Sun Universe

Enemy Abilities are various abilities available only to enemies in the Golden Sun games, which have a variety of effects. Differentiating these from Psynergy abilities is that none of these subtract from their users' PP meters and the enemy can still use them even if their Psynergy has been sealed. Contrast with List of unacquirable Psynergy. It is possible to tell the difference between Psynergy and enemy abilities in-game because the battle text says that enemies "use" or "unleash" enemy abilities and "cast" Psynergy. All of the monster-only abilities in the GBA games are listed below, categorized by effect.

Also see Enemy Abilities (Dark Dawn).

Trivia

  • There are two elemental physical enemy abilities named "Poison Sting", one of the Venus element and one of the Mercury element.
  • Rolling Flame and Mine Ball are the only enemy abilities that are dependent on the user's Attack rating and can hit multiple targets at a time. The Shuriken psynergy is similar in this regard.
  • The attack "Darksol Gasp" is a likely reference to both the evil wizard Darksol and his signature attack "Demon Breath" from the Shining in the Darkness game for the SEGA Mega Drive (SEGA Genesis) which Camelot helped develop.
