Enemy Skills are special attacks used by enemies.
The characters can learn the enemy skills by having the Enemy Skill materia equipped when the monster attacks them. The skill will only appear in the Enemy Skill materia of the targeted character; if the skill hits all characters (like in case of Beta, Aqualung, and many others) the skill will them appear in all materias the party has equipped. The skill can only be learned if none of the currently equipped Enemy Skill materias have the skill (todo: should verify). Frequently, the most effective way of learning the enemy skill is to use Manipulate on creatures that know the skill. After the skill is learned, they're used by choosing the E.Skill combat option.
Four Enemy Skill materia can be found in the game, more than enough for each member of your party. However, the Enemy Skill materia only stores the spells which have been cast on it, meaning you will have to have each materia learn all the spells you want it to be able to use. The four locations are:
- The 67th floor of the Shinra Headquarters, the Containment Room where Hojo was attempting to "breed" Aeris and RedXIII.
- The intermediate level training hall in Junon, down the side alley where you go for the march on TV
- In the room in the Ancient City where you're able to rest, behind the top bed.
- At the Chocobo Sage's house, the green chocobo has it
(To add: all of the completely useless enemy skills =)
Angel Whisper
TODO
Aqualung
Causes water damage on all enemies. The most obvious enemy to learn this from is Jenova-LIFE.
Bad Breath
Recommended The signature attack of Malboros (look like D&D Beholders, just has feet, and a lot of mouths instead of eyes), which in FF7 can be found in Gaea's Cliff. This incredible attack adds the enemies many nasty status conditions.
Beta
Causes fire damage on all enemies. Can be learned from Midgar Zolom (the big snake swimming in the swamp near the chocobo farm).
Big Guard
Essential. Same as Barrier, MBarrier and Haste on party. Look for Beach Plugs (green-brown little crawling squid-like things) near Corel/Gold Saucer/Gongaga region - Manipulate them to get the skill.
Chocobuckle
Does non-elemental damage to a single opponent. Cast L4 suicide on a Chocobo whose level is a multiple of four after feeding it 3 Mimmennt greens.
Death Force
When Death Force is casted on your party members, it prevents death. Go the one of the beaches (ex: Watai)and fight the big huge turtle, then cast manipulate.
Death Sentence
TODO
Dragon Force
TODO
Flame Thrower
An easy skill to acquire early on, you can learn it from the Ark Dragon in the Mithril Mines.
Frog Song
TODO
Goblin Punch
Go to the goblin island, northeast end of the map, the island has a forest on it, encounter a goblin and you can either just fight it or manipulate it.
Laser
this one can be found in the desert prison, it is one of the metal looking enemies, don't remember the name
L4 Suicide
TODO
L5 Death
TODO
Magic Breath
Recommended. Causes multiple different types of elemental damage (Fire, Ice, Lightning) on all enemies. Generally speaking, blows the paint layer off most of the enemies. Can be learned from Stilvas (blue crab-like thing) in Gaea's Cliff.
Magic Hammer
Recommended. This enemy skill makes the target lose 100 MP and the character gains it. Using this a lot makes some magic-based enemies far less annoying, especially ones that rely entirely on magic.
Matra Magic
This enemy skill is a handy one early on in the game since it targets all enemies and does a fair amount of damage. You can learn it from the Custom Sweeper in Midgar, the Death Machine around Junon, or the Bullmotor/Death Machine in the desert prison.
Pandora's Box
TODO
Roulette
TODO
Shadow Flare
This will cause massive non-elemental damage. The skill can be learned from only two enemies: Ultima Weapon and Safer Sephiroth.
Trine
Causes lighting damage on all enemies. Can be learned from the boss Materia Keeper, or the Stilvas (blue crab-like thing) in Gaea's Cliff.
White Wind
Essential. Cures status ailments and heals each party character for as many hit points the using character has. Can be learned from Zemzelett (green-white bird) in Junon region - the creature has to be Manipulated to use this skill.
