GENERAL INFORMATION
have low ranks, meaning she attacks more often. Her Heavenly Strike causes
Instant Death, as well as Berserk and Confuse. Though Dark Shiva does not
counterattack, her standard physical attack removes several beneficial status
effects: Auto-Life, Haste, NulAll, Protect, Reflect, Regen, and Shell.
Dark Shiva has relatively low HP for a Dark Aeon at only 1,100,000. Her Overdrive,
Diamond Dust, deals non-elemental special magic damage in the range of 79,802
to 90,110 which can only be reduced by another aeon's Shield. Her Overdrive gauge
increases by 10% when using an attack or when targeted by an ability.
STRATEGY:
also works well. Because of her low HP, Dark Shiva can be defeated quickly
before she uses her Overdrive. A good method is to use Wakka's Attack Reels
while equipped with a Break Damage Limit weapon. As in the other Dark Aeon battles,
high Agility, Accuracy, Strength, and Defense are helpful. If her stats are
high enough, Anima can be Grand Summoned to use her Overdrive Oblivion, which
should deal more than enough damage to kill Dark Shiva instantly.
As with any other enemy, Dark Shiva can be killed instantly by Yojimbo's Zanmato attack.
This is the recommended strategy for players if the party’s attributes are not
high enough and can be used to retrieve the Macalania Temple Destruction Sphere
needed to obtain the aeon Anima. However, this will likely take multiple attempts
since whether or not Yojimbo will actually use Zanmato is unpredictable, even
when his compatibility with Yuna is high.
