Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Shiva.jpg Shiva
Red Red 8 6 7
Pros
  • High STR, AGI and LUK paired with innate Serial Killer and Vorpal Blade make him an effective Physical Sweeper.
  • Good candidate for the Hell Gongen team as it provides him much needed Phys Pierce.
  • Great set of Panels especially the insane Panel 3 MP-cost reduction.
  • Has three sets of Drain resistances and no weakness if in Teal, making him an ideal teammate for Rama.
  • At Panel 3, he's the best 4th Demon candidate for the Masakado A+Shiva A+P3 Zaou-Gongen devastating PVP Defense Team.
Cons
  • Pralaya is high-MP, low damage and blocked by Five Elements.
  • Without Panel 3, his PVP tier rating is lower than 6.
  • Does not possess innate Pierce: absolutely requires Zaou-Gongen's pierce set-up.
  • Very expensive to fuse.

Hell Gongen PvP Offense without Panel 3
ArchTeal.png 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.
