Overview

Shiva

Shiva, The Destroyer, will certainly deliver on his title. Boasting constant ComboATK Down by 0.6x (excepting charge attacks), attack twice each turn for 2 turns (Buff) with up to three offensive buffs (one of which can extent to his whole team) while ignoring EvasionDEF Up by 0.01x ~ 0.005x for 1 turn (Buff), plus the added offense and defense from his synergy with DarknessATK Down by 0.9x ~ 0.45x, block CS activation for 3 turns (Debuff) on move means very few enemies will survive his wrath. Said Darkness is also his means of containing his power of universal annihilation that is his CS, which he has enough ways to charge to use it every other turn. With a unique 10x damage multiplier, HP Down and purge of all normal statuses across the board, Shiva's CS will always apply his ATK value to all enemies, but this can be increased by unconventional means such as Fuxi's Non-Obstruct WeakeningWhile user does not have Obstruct: DEF Down by 4x for 999 turns (Irremovable Debuff) or Mephistopheles' [[|No name provided .]]No description provided. (Unknown). Such tremendous power comes at the expense of much options for defense, though Guts+1HP when HP is at 0 at the end of the turn for 5 turns. Removed once activated. (Buff) and the defensive component of having Darkness will allow for some survivability should enemies be able to fight back. Whether to cleanse status effects without discrimination, to destroy the universe or destroy certain targets, Shiva will deliver.


Summer Shiva

Shiva (Summer)'s new playstyle can be considered an inverse of the base: While Base Shiva rotates between regular, short ranged but devastating strikes and his global annihilation, Summer Shiva rotates between regular global destruction and a devastating single-target CS. Though is default range is 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow, LB1 and his CS ensure that he can keep 0.10x ATK penaltyAll range indefinitely. Unlike units such as Alp or Echo, Summer Shiva's kit is designed to use this range entirely for offense by moving and applying Burn-300~-600HP/turn for 5 turns (Debuff) to enemies in a large area, where the actual status' damage is unlikely to even tick with Shiva doing 5x damage to them. Keeping his unique skills from Base in LB2, he can gain even further damage as well as control over when to refresh his global assault with his CS. Lastly, LB3 allows for some utility by applying CharmCannot attack for 3 turns (Debuff) to enemies who might survive to hit him, after which they are even less likely to survive his attacks, though with only Darkness for self-defense it should mostly be concidered a bonus. Lastly, beyond letting him retain All range, his CS can provide some sustain and keep enemy skills down should his target survive the devastating blow. Overall, Summer Shiva is a unique reverse of Base Shiva that discards his status purging for some welcome utility, with his damage able to easily surpass Base now that he can safely receive external buffs.
