I wasn't commenting on this before because I didn't want to derail the thread, but it seems thoroughly derailed already now.
If this is a straight 65% healing reduction, all it's going to do is make mates (and Automate Halfline) useless while Resta is still OK and Megiverse is still OP. I fail to see how this accomplishes anything for the game, unless this is another attempt to push us all into the "successor classes".
Also XQ healing nerfs DO affect lifesteal weapons. I get 4 HP per hit on Phanatic Phantoms stage 1 with the healing reduction in place, as opposed to 30 without it.

Ship 2:
Katarin: GUmarl. Lethal precision with a whimsical streak
"Save the day and look good doing it. That's what this job is all about!"
Alessandra: FInewearl. A hyperkinetic, photon-fueled mayhem machine.
"Oho! I actually felt that! You must be pretty strong!."
WL doesnt have charge invuln, and also I really dont want to have to be spamming constant guard to survive instead of doing anything else meaningful.
I had to do that for solo XQ and it sucked sooo much, I'd rather not have to revisit content where that has to happen.
anyways, just to bring this thread back on track, I find it weird the story is pointing us towards amduscia when all of the UH content appears to take place on purely lilipa, are we just going to be at amduscia for only a short time then just leave right away?

In terms of all present fields in the game (save for the Enchanted Forest), only Ultimate Amduscia is remaining in terms of locations we haven't been to in the story proper. We went to both Ult Nab and Ult Lili during the end of Episode 3, so it sorta makes sense to round out the trinity, since we never actually had a real reason to go in EP4 (Matoi only seems to mention it in passing).
If anything, it makes me somewhat hopeful that we may eventually get a fourth field area for Wopal, or even finish off the remaining areas of Harukotan. Especially since they can sort of salvage some of the assets from EP5's canyon areas (more specifically the canyon/tunnel area used for the tank escorting part of the Omega Apprentice fight) for the so-called "Ei-Namida River" that is somehow supposed to be the place that separates the Shironians and Kuronites (not as much the latter now since they were all gobbled up by Double).
Wopal was a planet made by Luther if I'm remembering right, and since the story seems to imply he was behind Shiva's creation, we may go there to find out more about our insurmountable foe. And perhaps while we're there, we'll get ambushed by Varuna - since in Hindu mythology, Varuna is the god of the oceans, who was originally a King of the Asuras before becoming a Deva.
.... Also, can I just point out how similar Varuna is to Theodore? I mean, in EP5, he keeps trying WAY too hard to get Harriet to make like a chicken and run for it; Theodore didn't like fighting initially in EP1 and only joined ARKS because he wanted to impress Ulc. Whereas in EP6, Varuna has this stoic, almost robotic loyalty to Shiva in contrast to Theo and Ulc's relationship where they seem a bit more emotionally open.
Is it possible Varuna is going to be Theodore fight 2.0? Where he catches us offguard with how hard he is?
Personally I didn't have any problems with Theodore. However Varuna has something else very iconic attached to him already which pretty much tells us what he's capable of, the thing attached being a very specific name. Varuna La Siek. La Siek is the name of an antagonist from the original Algol series. Given Alisa and Lutz's appearance on Omega I'm watching this guy very carefully. It's impossible to ignore this.
Spoiler!

I actually believe Varuna's "LaShiec" surname is just a reference. No more, no less. He won't be turning on Shiva, because she's essentially all but the new host of the Profound Darkness (and if I saw it correctly, his loyalty could actually be a reference to LaShiec's dying words: "I must serve Him!", with Him in this case referring to the Dark Falz).
I do wonder if the story related thing about "not using photons to fight them" will actually be put to play in actual game play at all, I have no idea how that'd even work if it was.
