eFootball 2025 is undoubtedly one of the best football games we have on mobile, and over the years it has seen new additional features while also introducing new types of players. Amongst the different skills, one of the special skills players can get in eFootball 2025 is the Show Time type. While they were introduced for a particular set of themed players under the same name, these skills are being awarded to the Epic and Big Time players as well. So to understand more about these, let us find out the list of Show Time skills and their work case.
List of Show Time skills in eFootball 2025
As of now, we have nine Show Time skills available in the game.
Phenomenal Finishing
- Recommended Position: CF
- Player Example: Germany Epic Karl Heinz Rummenigge
Phenomenal Finishing is a skill that significantly reduces shot error when players attempt to score from awkward or off-balance positions. The shots won’t get more power though, instead, it ensures better accuracy, even under pressure, making it highly reliable in tight situations or in situations where player balance is less.
Phenomenal Pass
- Recommended Position: CMF, AMF
- Player Example: Spanish League Epic Andres Iniesta
Phenomenal Finishing but for passes. Phenomenal Pass allows players to make precise passes, even when facing away or positioned awkwardly. It reduces errors during crucial moments, making through passes and other long-range deliveries far more accurate, regardless of player orientation.
Blitz Curler
- Recommended Position: WF, CF
- Player Example: MSN Barcelona Lionel Messi
Blitz Curler changes the path of controlled shots by introducing a sharper curve, making it difficult for goalkeepers to anticipate. This skill works exceptionally well for players who excel in finesse shots and provides a reliable edge in one-on-one situations.
Visionary Pass
- Recommended Position: CMF, AMF, WF
- Player Example: Show Time Kevin De Bruyne
Visionary Pass enhances the accuracy of passes by reducing errors. It also improves the receiving player’s first touch, one-touch passes, and one-time shots for the players who receive a pass from this skill holder, making it a valuable playmaking skill if you have him in a playmaker role.
Bullet Header
- Recommended Position: CF
- Player Example: MSN FC Barcelona Luis Suarez
This skill is Phenomenal Finishing but a Header version. Bullet Header improves the power and consistency of downward headers, making them more effective even from awkward angles. While heading isn’t the most reliable scoring method in the game currently, this skill helps boost its viability.
Momentum Dribbling
- Recommended Position: WF, AMF
- Player Example: Show Time Vinicius Junior
Momentum Dribbling increases the frequency of touches while dribbling, allowing players to maintain closer control over the ball. It enhances smoothness when moving in tight spaces, making it particularly effective in the final third for skilled dribblers.
Edged Crossing
- Recommended Position: WF, LB/RB
- Player Example: Spanish League Epic Luis Figo
Edged Crossing modifies the trajectory of crosses, making the ball dip vertically instead of spinning horizontally. You can notice that this will cause a quick dip at the end of the pass. This skill improves the accuracy of normal crosses, even when performed with a weak foot, as long as the player has high weak foot accuracy.
Fortress
- Recommended Position: CB, DMF, LB/RB
- Player Example: Germany Epic Lotthar Matthaus
Fortress boosts defensive abilities like tackling, aggression, and engagement by 5% when leading at halftime. While not game-changing, it provides some stability for you while you are defending in the second half while maintaining a lead, so the use case is pretty limited.
Game-Changing Pass
- Recommended Position: CMF, AMF
- Player Example: Show Time Bellingham
Game-Changing Pass increases the accuracy of both low and lofted passes by approximately 10% during the second half when a team is losing or drawing. While helpful in comeback situations, this is a ‘conditional’ skill, so it isn’t particularly impactful or game-breaking overall, so I don’t rate it very much.
Aerial Fort
- Recommended Position: CB
- Player Example: Show Time Ruben Dias
Added via the January 2025 update was Aerial Fort, which first featured Ruben Dias, Virgil Van Dijk, and Jonathan Tah in the pack. This skill enhances a player’s abilities in aerial duels when they are positioned inside their penalty box. Aerial dominance could be seen from the players who equipped this skill, which is really handy to handle a decent Show Time skill in Bullet Header.
Acceleration Burst
- Recommended Position: WF
- Player Example: Big Time Neymar
The most recent addition with the v4.3.0 update came Acceleration Burst. This Show Time skill in Football 2025 lets you pull off a quick Sharp Touch, even when standing still or moving slowly. It helps with sudden direction changes. This is a pretty useful skill and easy to perform, getting away from the defense.
Show Time Skills Tier List in eFootball 2025
As per my experience of trying out these skills, here’s my tier list and ranking of the same.
| Tier | Skills |
|---|---|
| SSS (Overpowered) | Blitz Curler |
| S (Strong) | Phenomenal Finishing, Phenomenal Pass, Aerial Fort |
| A (Good) | Momentum Dribbling, Edged Crossing, Acceleration Burst |
| B (Average) | Bullet Header, Visionary Pass |
| C (Below Average) | Fortress, Game-Changing Pass |
Note that this tier list is from my perspective after trying out all the players with particular skills, and might bring different use cases for different players. I personally found Blitz Curler’s effect to be very evident in my game, with my MSN Epic Barcelona Messi card outperforming other similarly ranked cards of his.
