PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Shiva A.jpg Shiva A
Purple Teal Teal Purple 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
Notes

PvE Builds

PvP Builds

  • Wicked Strike: Crit damage + crit rate modifier.

ArchPurple.png 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.
