He never tries to use his powers to fill it himself because doing so would be beneath him.

* ATasteOfPower: Like Stasis, players can come across Strand empowering nodes with near-instant recharge and allow you to clear enemies while getting accustomed to the new powers and the actual subclass will be unlocked after the campaign, which equalizes recharge times but offers more options in fragment and aspect customization. Unlike Stasis, though, the campaign spends a little more time on tutoring the Guardian (and by extension the player) on the key facets of Strand powers so you can get familiar with the more nuanced mechanics.

* GondorCallsForAid: The previous two years has shown the Vanguard making alliances with Cabal and Eliksni factions who seek peace and cooperation, but with a sense of TeethClenchedTeamwork throughout based on their pre-existing hostilities. Even friendly factions like the Awoken have agreed that they can't afford to stay separated like this. This story is where those factions are all called upon in an "All hands on deck" emergency. When the campaign is over the player Guardian will be transported to the Tower and instead of the Traveler in the sky there is Awoken, Cabal and Eliksni ships circling about. For the first time too Cabal are in the Tower standing guard. This all leads into "Season of Defiance."

* OffscreenInertia: Curiously, the campaign starts with a cutscene showing the Vanguard trying to engage the Black Fleet but being quickly outmatched by the Witness even when the Traveler tries to engage. A pulse that neutralizes the Traveler also shuts down power in the HELM with most of the supporting cast including Zavala and Mara Sov. Calus' Cabal fleet then leaves to Neomuna to acquire the Veil with the player character and Osiris alone catching a ride. While there is some communications passed around that the Vanguard is operating a counter-offensive, in reference to "Season of Defiance," quite a bit happens on Neomuna including a couple of training sequences. Yet the ending campaign cutscene shows the HELM rebooting with each character in the exact same spot to see the Witness create a portal through the Traveler.

After the defeat of Calus and the players ghost is controlled by the Witness to link to the Veil, regardless of whatever gun that is equipped it will show them using a Khvostov 7G-OX rifle and taking aim at Ghost to stop the Witness.

Rohan sacrifices himself to destroy the Radial Mast, but if Calus gains direct access anyway he could manually transport it to the Witness. As it so happens, once Calus is defeated and the guardian gets closer to the Veil the players' Ghost is also an artifact of the light and the Witness was able to create a link to the Veil through it.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Characters always talk of the Traveler using the light in the sense of how the guardians use the light as RealityWarper warriors, but what is often overlooked is the Traveler for untold eons would move across the universe to {{Terraform}} other worlds and THAT is what caused the Golden Age when it came to the Sol System and gave life to planets and moons. When confronted by the Black Fleet the Traveler unleashed an impressive display of power via what looks like a WaveMotionGun, but was actually a form of HostileTerraforming and several pyramid ships were compromised by explosive vegetation. This was not enough to deter the fleet and the Traveler is soon overwhelmed and neutralized by the Witness. This reinforces what has been considered a fundamental truth for the Destiny setting, however powerful the Traveler may be its offensive capabilities are limited and that is why it has always moved on.

!!Lightfall Contains Examples Of:
* BuildingSwing: Strand focuses a lot on mobility with one ability allowing you to tether even open air and being able to swing yourself around, culminating in being able to tether a Titan using their Thundercrash super and fling yourself across a large chasm.
* CyberPunk: Neomuna is a major contrast to the UsedFuture of the rest of the setting, especially the Last City on Earth. It is a massive metropolis with neon billboards and extravagant architecture.
* DragonAscendant: Calus is an interesting example. He first appeared after Ghaul was defeated, while potentially a threat with the Leviathan he presented himself more as a FriendlyEnemy offering the Guardians prizes for completing challenges rather than being a threat to humanity himself. His interests in artifacts of Darkness did hint at a deeper problem underneath, and his reappearance in "Season of the Haunted" affirmed that [[FaceHeelTurn he was allying himself to The Witness]] in return for being granted powers of Darkness. He steps forward in ''Lightfall'' as TheDragon to The Witness, which is quite an interesting turn of events given he was more of a neutral party before.
