Heavy is a neutral/multi-purpose status effect in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 and the opposite of the Light status. It is associated with the Dark and Earth elements, and its icon are two light brown arrows forming into one pointing downwards. Its effects are as follows:
- Increases Earth-elemental damage taken by 50% while decreasing Wind-elemental damage taken by 50% (in both cases it's only the elemental part); each time an Earth attack is boosted or a Wind attack is dampened, one stack of Heavy will be consumed.
- Cancels out Light if it's actually inflicted.
As a neutral status Heavy cannot be cured with standard cleansing effects or items, and won't be removed by getting Dispelled either. The main way for players to remove Heavy off themselves is the Cutie Worm summon. Like most status effects, it also vanishes after the battle, when the victim dies (except if with Auto-Revive), or after a number of turns.
