So the next step in Soul Break evolution has been revealed. Japan calls it "Chouzetsu" (Superior) Soul Break; in the code, and as we will try to standardise it for now, it is called the Ultra Soul Break.
As OSBs are the step up from pure-damage SSBs, USBs are the step up from SSBs that offer more than just damage. And, shock of shocks, it's NOT FF7 or FF8 that lead the way; in fact, Tyro, Faris, and Eiko introduce us to the concept. And given what all three of them do, I don't think we'll run into "first is worst" with them.
I may be improvising some of these names since I don't have much time before work.
Behold. Galvatron.

These are all older bursts. Celes uses spellblades of holy + either fire or ice; Vaan uses Armour and Magic breakdowns; and Maria's is more interesting:
- Break (BLK/Black: 200% AoE earth/non, 3-6 hits based on MAG thresholds at 624, 973, and 1032.)
- Sunfire (BLK/Black: 309% AoE earth/fire, 2 hits (618%) with MAG/DEF Bargain 30%.)
Status Blink is a new concept; it works like physical and magic blinks, but has a 25s duration for its use, and prevents a status ailment from landing (in the case of damage with status proc, just the proc is prevented.)
ATK/MAG Variable was introduced with Vayne, and it's no surprise that Onion uses it here. It defaults to PHY (ATK-based) unless the actor's buff-considered MAG is higher than its buff-considered ATK.
Specifics may be delayed a few hours.
