* The infamous Warrior's Might team, which uses a Gladiator/Shogun and two Shogun/Buccaneers. The Gladiator's class ability and self-buff skills give it some of the highest damage output in the game, and its Shogun subclass lets it use Warrior's Might, a chaser skill that makes it follow up every party member's attack with one of its own. This would normally be balanced by the party limit of five (six with a Ninja's Bunshin), especially since some members will be too busy healing, guarding other members, or maintaining buffs to attack. However, the Shoguns' class ability, Second Sword, lets them dual wield weapons, and their Buccaneer subclass gives them Swashbuckling, which lets them attack 2-4 times ''per weapon'' when using normal attacks—and Warrior's Might treats every single normal attack as a separate attack. Throw in a bunch of offensive buffs and defensive debuffs from your other party members, and you can perform 8-16 chase attacks to inflict as much as 40,000 HP of damage on the final boss in one turn.

At level 10, and boosted, almost everything is vulnerable to the poison effect, and its easy to apply to anything, even bosses, and it does absurd damage due to its insane multiplier, almost dealing 4 digits of damage when the other potential party member struggles to be half as powerful.

** Its also possible to essentially double the power of most passive skills in the game with the Grimoire System. Simply put a skill that a class have naturally, and if they learned the skill, the game will increase the benefit by multiplying the highest level between Grimoire and Naturally learned skill by twice. This is mostly notable for Mastery Skills, since every mastery, except for Sword is able to be stacked, resulting in a significant increase in offensive power.

* With proper knowledge of the mechanic, and a little bit of luck, it is possible to get a number of skills from bosses that would significantly reduce the difficult parts of the game, such as random ecounters. Some notable examples are Hurricane Punch, and Flood for early parts of the game, and Burning Ray, and Tendrill Thrash for late game. Post game have the extemely powerful Elemental Torrents as well. The catch about these moves are, by knowing how the boss pattern works, you can consistently get them on your grimoire at an acceptable level.

** The Protector class itself counts as this, because their defense amplified by certain skills can easily become high enough to effectively nullify most monsters' attacks while taking them all for the team. Theoretically, this would be counterbalanced by their low TP, but for only 3 skill points of investment, they can heal 5 TP with every hit they receive, making even that disadvantage moot.

Moved from YMMV.Etrian Odyssey \'s Game Breaker entry (which was starting to get kind of bloated), sorted and cleaned up a bit for good measure.
Added DiffLines:
While the ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' games are Creator/{{Atlus}} titles, with the [[NintendoHard player-breaking]] [[ThatOneBoss/{{Atlus}} difficulty]] that entails, that doesn't mean there aren't ways for the players to [[GameBreaker break the games right back]].
!''Etrian Odyssey''
* In a game where most classes had roughly 300 HP at max level, the Medic's Immunize was the difference between most enemies hitting for 250 and for 25. Sadly, ''Heroes of Lagaard'' [[{{Nerf}} cut it out altogether]] (along with the Troubadour's Healing and Relaxing skills)
!''Heroes of Lagaard''
* When the developers were rebalancing things for [=HoL=], they boosted some previously-useless skills - a bit too much, in some cases.
** The Hexer skill Revenge was boosted to deal 255% of the damage the Hexer had taken for only 19 TP once mastered, which means a Hexer with items to boost max HP, 1 HP left, and enough AGI to move first can be devastating.
*** To elaborate: Revenge deals set damage depending on how much HP a Hexer has lost, ignoring enemy's defense, resistance, immunity, etc.; if a hexer can deal 1000 damage to a {{mook}}, they can deal that much damage to a [[BossBattle Boss]]. In ''Heroes of Lagaard'', not only was Revenge's strength buffed, the HP of [=FOEs=] and bosses were nerfed. In [=HoL=], the highest HP among non-FinalBoss or BonusBoss is around 3000-4000, but said bosses have a massive amount of defense. With proper equipments and setup, Hexers can dish out between '''1500 to 2000''' damage per Revenge. A BossFight using other classes can last 10 turns or even longer, while Hexers can happily wipe out a boss in possibly two hits.
** While not as broken, a Hexer with Evil Eye and Suicide can command the enemy to attack itself instead of the party, allowing the player to attack an enemy without worry of being hit. There's also Betrayal, which forces all terrified enemies to attack each other. Adding in Relapse, it's possible to cripple an enemy for the rest of the battle.
** The Dark Hunter's Climax was similarly buffed up. Once mastered, it kills any enemy vulnerable to instant death with less than 55% of its HP (previously, it only had a 20% chance of working, even when mastered). Most bosses are immune to Climax, but F.O.E.s aren't; having Climax mastered essentially halves the duration of any F.O.E. encounter.
* A War Magus' Cursecut can drain TP from an enemy that's been cursed (best done with a Hexer, which, as mentioned above, is a Game Breaker in and of itself). War Magi can also transfer their TP to other characters by the use of their Transfer skill. With this combo, you have potentially limitless TP. A shame that this is pretty much all that a War Magus is good for...
** In addition, the Hexer's Torpor immensely aids the War Magus' Sleep Cut, allowing the party to deal pretty massive damage while the enemies are asleep.
* Force skills in general could be fairly severe Game Breakers. The Gunner's guarantees that you'll stun an enemy for that turn and the Protector's negates all damage and status effects for one turn, for example. The Dark Hunter's is guaranteed to go last in the turn, but will bind any enemy, including bosses, preventing them from using their skills (though some exceptions exist). That enemy can waste a turn trying to use a skill that requires the bound limb. At the end of the game, it's possible to use them every turn by dedicating two characters to feeding the Force skill users Axcelas. However, not only do they cost a lot, but also require plenty of materials in order to buy them.
!''Legends of the Titan''
* The Dancer's bottommost dancing skills - Fan Dance, Sword Dance, and Mist Dance. These passive skills give an increased dodge chance, the ability to hit multiple times in a single attack, and the chance to stun an enemy upon connecting with a normal attack. It only takes three skill points to unlock Sword Dance, compared to the sixteen (at least eight of which are dumped in a useless skill regardless of what weapon you use) it took to unlock its predecessor Swashbuckling in ''The Drowned City''. Dancers are also able to use a different skill to make allies in the same line follow up on their attacks, meaning it's possible to have your entire front line attack multiple times per turn.
** Want to crank the fun UpToEleven? Give them the Nightseeker subclass and make them DualWield. The multiple attacking can trigger both weapons '''individually'''. If you have Sword Dance maxed, your Dancer can potentially attack eight times per turn. By the way, did we mention that the Dancer is both a buffer and healer?
* The secret class [[spoiler: Imperials]] in ''Legends of the Titan'' count as well. They're restricted to using only one type of weapon (they can't equip a subweapon alongside their class-specific weapon) but are capable of dealing ''thousands'' of damage without attack buffs. To balance the class, they're given a few cooldown turns until they're allowed to use it again. However, they can use two skills to cool down their weapon (which deals damage as well) and then use an attack that charges up their next turn's attack power (which more than doubles their power even without the skill maxed), which happens to be the same turn they're allowed to use the powerful skills again. If an enemy somehow manages to survive a few of those attacks, there's even a skill that removes the cooldown time for three turns and immediately cools down their weapon after a certain amount of overheats occur in a battle, allowing the character to deal massive damage without any drawback for three turns.
* Once a Nightseeker hits high enough level to be able to use Venom Throw, maxing it out allows them to inflict a poison status that does a fixed 700 damage every turn for several turns, enough to make a large dent in even most bosses' HP. Combine this with Spread Throw and Auto-Spread which allows them to hit every enemy with the next 2 throw skills and a chance to use said skill for free at the beginning of the battle, and they can take out most random encounters in a single turn with very little TP used. If you then give them Arcanist as a subclass, you can not only use one of their passive abilities to increase the chance of landing the poison status on even strongest enemies, but also gain back any TP you spend to use the move if the poison sticks on at least a single enemy thanks to their TP Return.
!''The Millennium Girl''
* Hexers break the game again with Stoning Curse, an extremely reliable petrification spell (which instantly kills the target) against normal enemies with a low TP cost. Unless there's a massive group of enemies that require Evil Eye, Stoning Curse is all a Hexer needs to use outside of F.O.E. fights and boss battles.
** Speaking of Evil Eye, it got buffed from its previous incarnations. Instead of just targeting one enemy at a time, it targets a row of them. Curses increasing ailment chance make it more reliable as well, so Hexers become even more powerful than they were before.
* The Gunner skill Action Boost. It allows you to take any action twice (three times if you level it up enough) for your next turn, but Action Boosted skills still require TP for each use. The game breaker is, provided the skill that triggers it is increased by Boost, ''all'' attacks in that chain are boosted. This allows you to fire off multiple powerful, Boosted skills (such as Ricochet) without any drawback, as long as you have enough TP.
