Shiva			B	D	D	D
Pros	Effective physical sweeper - his Vorpal Blade-esque Standard Attack plus high strength, automatic DEF debuff, +90% crit rate, and panel 4's auto-charge upon landing a crit all let him output high AoE damage. Does not require MP to use his AoE standard attack, meaning he is not impeded by Spirit Chains of Indignation. Has three sets of Drain resistances and no weakness if Teal, making him a valuable teammate for Pierce Negation users. This can also combo with his panel 3 to deal a punishing AoE when an enemy hits into NDR. Pralaya removes Repel Almighty Physical such as the chain effect from Lord of the Dead. This makes him a good complement for Almighty Physical attackers like Shiva A, who are otherwise walled by it. Pralaya deals a pursuing chain attack towards the lowest-HP enemy, potentially helping to secure a kill.
Cons	Pralaya cannot remove Repel Almighty Magic, as the skill must hit before the removal chain is triggered. Even though Pralaya and his panel 3 have bulwark pierce, his standard attack does not. Pralaya and his panel 3 deal magic damage, meaning they cannot benefit from Might, Charge, or his crit rate boosts. Pralaya also lacks Remnants, meaning it is not press-turn-efficient to use compared to crit-spamming with his standard attack. The 4 MP cost and auto-Might from panel 2 aren't enough to make up for this. His automatic Repel Magic is only the normal version, meaning Almighty can go through it. Given that most demons have pierce, this means the shield is unlikely to protect your team from anything. Weak to Ice unless Teal. Very expensive to fuse (Cheapest path requires Vishnu, who is 5+5. All other paths are 5+5 and require demons that are at least 5+4). This is also bad since Kartikeya can only be obtained through a Multi-Fusion involving a Clear Shiva, making it difficult to panel them both at the same time. Expensive with limited damage output. Unsuited for the current meta.

PvE Builds

Archetype(s)

Build(s)

Tandava
	Transferred Skills		Notes: Red gives him more flexibilty in his attack options. Vorpal if you need to sweep/take out adds. God's Hand if only the boss is left and does more damage than Vorpal anyways. P4 + Pralaya can be useful if not used in a Gongen team but otherwise, P3 should do just fine.

Nataraja

PvP Builds

Hell Gongen PvP Offense without Panel 3
	Transferred Skills		Notes: Without Panel 3, Hades Blast is needed against Intimidating Stance teams. With Panel 3 active, Vorpal Blade costs 5 MP, making Hades Blast unnecessary and opening up room for a single target attack, such as Fatal Sword L, Berserker God, or God Hand from Red archetype. It can also let you use War brands instead of Divine.

The Hindu creator and destroyer of the world. Along with Vishnu, Shiva is one of the most revered gods in the Hindu faith. There is a belief that he will destroy the world near its end, purifying it during its reconstruction. He uses his destructive force towards demons, and bestows blessings on to those who worship him.
