Well, we have two good examples of the abilities of the Ultimate Lucky Student from the anime, specifically DR3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy in the form of two different scenes. In one scene, a character throws a weapon at Makoto Naegi, who is just lucky enough to slip and fall, and having the weapon not hit him. Makoto's experience as the Ultimate Lucky Student is small misfortunes that result in slightly larger fortunes. The first trial in DR1 reveals a good example of this, but I won't specify because of spoilers.

The other example found in the anime is with Nagito Komaeda, the other Ultimate Lucky Student. Nagito's luck is much more severe– he is able to kick a pebble that causes an avalanche, or accidentally set of a chain reaction of events that quintuples the size of a dog. His abilities are similar to the Basanos in the Lucifer comic series, much more noticable than Makoto's. The catch, however, is that usually terrible things happen just as frequently. Early in SDR2, Nagito reveals that he was the sole survivor of a plane crash (something severely bad) but then found a beautiful utopic oasis.



The conclusion is clear! Lucky students should have a specific sort of luck, and a scale: Makoto's luck only reacted to save his life, while Nagito's reacted to give him personal profit. Heikin's backstory demonstrates that her luck is usually only used in casino settings, so it can be consciouslly activated. The sort of luck Heikin has is between Makoto and Nagito, but specifically material. It is significant, as the money she acquires is significant, but it will only further her in terms of possessions. She will not have the advantage in a life-or-death situation, but rather in scenarios like finding items or causing other items to malfunction.
