Role Summary

	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense	Prelim	Boss
Shiva A			4	4	4	3	1
Pros	Third Eye can only be blocked by two demons in the whole game (Griffith and Beelzebub (Human)), going even through Five Elements-like barriers. It is also treated as a Physical attack and as such can Crit. Ishvara provides Auto-Rebellion and passively boosts his accuracy and crit chance. Insane set of panels that give him everything he needs (accuracy, ST damage and reduced MP cost). Incredible Elemental resistances especially in Teal. All these Elemental Drains make him an excellent partner for Rama and Demiurge - Drain Elec in particular allows him to soft-counter Passionate Rage.
Cons	Hard to further boost Third Eye's damage outside Butcher due to how rare Almighty Boost and Survivor are. Weak to Force. Very MP Hungry and prone to MP denial teams like Alice A. Completely walled off by Beelzebub (Human)'s Lord of the Dead, as it blocks both Panel 2 and Third Eye. His panel 2, although a good option in case he runs out of mp, wont deal that much damage because you're most likely gonna be running him with Butcher and his innate Serial Killer and neither of them boost his regular almighty attack unless you only give him Almighty Survivor, Almighty Boost, Wicked Strike and/or Death Blow, all of which are very rare and hard to get.
Notes	Can be run in Hero Masakado T1 Teams for a devastating First Turn Kill. Shiva and Shiva A can be used together against Beelzebub (Human) for a Pralaya + Third Eye combination. Note though that they will both need Angra Mainyu to cast it T1, and also Divine Brands if Alice A is present.

The Third Eye that burns the sky!
	Transferred Skills		Notes: An absurdly strong sweeper with a hard to block attack (except Human Beelzebub). Divines can be used if you don't have Angra Mainyu or you want to cast T1 against Ulice. Great Aim can be used if you face tons of dodge tanks or Speedster if you want to outspeed more. Teal can be used instead if you want to run with Rama or Demiurge.
