Heavy Equipment (Riki skill)

Heavy Equipment is the first skill in 's Heroism skill branch. It allows him to wear heavy-weight.

Overview
This makes Riki the only character that can (without links) wear heavy armour but not medium armour. He's already beefy, so with the extra defence of heavy armour he can take a lot of punishment. This doesn't necessarily help him tank, since he still has no tank arts. As it's in an unlockable branch, it's half the cost to link to as the "default" ones from Reyn and Sharla. In addition, since it's in a late-to-get branch, Riki won't have many other star-shaped skills worth linking (many of them boost EXP), so shuffling links so heavy armour comes from Riki is arguably ideal.
