Shiva - Abilities & How To Use

Cold Snap

The ability can be used for evasion, but it can also be used to close the distance. It can also freeze an enemy, and if you avoid an enemy's attack with good timing while using Cold Snap, you can extend the freezing time. It is a powerful ability that can be used both offensively and defensively.

Ice Age

When released when the gauge is red, the attack range expands and an additional icicle can be sent to freeze the enemy. It takes some time to activate, but it is a powerful ability that also provides firepower.

Mesmerize

The ability can draw enemies while inflicting damage. It can be connected to any ability, making it extremely versatile. Upgrading the ability will let you produce a pillar of ice behind it, so if possible, it should be upgraded.

Rime

This is an installation ability that can attack enemies in the rearguard regardless of the presence or absence of enemies. In easy enemy fights, it can trap enemies without Will Gauge in ice, thus reducing the number of enemies. It is not very useful in boss battles, so equip it only when fighting easy enemies.

Diamond Dust

With its wide range and high power, it is quite effective when surrounded. Its firepower is also moderate, and its ability to shave off the Will Gauge is high enough to make it useful in boss battles. Another advantage of this ability is its light CD time (75 seconds).
