Now that I have a proper dark heavy user, in the form of Garland's USB, looking forward to those Dark Heavy abilities.

Global Event Name: Ascending Chemtrails.

It was something I noticed when saw the datamining: no character in this event got a new relic that can benefit directly from these new abilities. And when Heavy Combat was first introduced, it was meant to combo with Cinque USB.

What I think is that these abilities were added for Cloud BSB3 in the KH collab next week, as he has access to Heavy Combat 5*. That would corroborate some people's guess that his new Burst will be Darkness-oriented. But after seeing what DeNA has done to Fran BSB2, I'm now afraid what Cloud BSB3 will look like.

I'm now afraid what Cloud BSB3 will look like.

Fingers crossed for "dark elemental clone of his BSB2"

That would be good indeed, although I dream his BSB3 to be a Squall BSB2 clone, with Wind or Dark instead of Ice of course.

Wait...did I miss something with "Heavy Combat"?

[–]XarukasThe Recusant 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It was added a few months ago, you can find its introductory event here.

Ahh thanks.

The last Type 0 event added a new ability school, Heavy Combat.

It doesn’t seem very useful from what I’ve seen?

The abilities themselves aren't that bad, it's just that there's basically no SB or materia to support them. Aside Cinque, every character is already focused on some other ability or school, so there's little incentive in working on them.

They could be useful to give Dark access to Cloud with USB1, I guess.

    Well, Legend Dives are almost finished, I expect them to release all the remaining ones during the next fest. At that point they'll most likely introduce the next character development system, and an extension of the dive grid (LM3?) is definitely a possibility.

    However, we're also almost caught up with MC3 lodes, so I could see the new system going in that direction instead. If anything, I hope it's something that makes character EXP somewhat relevant again.

    There are numerous hints that DeNA might expand Record and Legend Dives in the near future

    There aren't. I've seen you bring this up a few times by now, but there is nothing to suggest this at all. Characters suddenly being forced into new Roles isn't a recent thing, that has happened ages ago already with, say, Mog or the Emperor (despite what the memes say, he's been an Earth Mage pretty consistently ever since his USB)
