Shiva’s Ability
Passive – Samsara
Shiva uses his attacks and special talents to hurt the gods who stand in his way as he alternates between the states of Bliss and Destruction. Each state benefits itself and its allies while hindering foes. Shiva’s non-ultimate ability cooldowns are lowered by 2s when switching between modes.
Skill 1 – Emblazoned Sweep
Shiva spins his trident, delivering damage, drawing in opponents, and leaving behind a firewall at the edge while it is inscribed with the flames of Agni. Bliss: When allies travel through the barrier, their Movement Speed is increased. Enemies who get through the firewall receive a Protection Reduction debuff.
Skill 2 – Damaru’s Tempo
Shiva strikes the earth with the butt of his trident, shaking the damaru drum and damaging opponents by dissipating energy. Depending on the choice, adversaries in the selected segment are also knocked down. Bliss: If the energy passes through an ally, they get a boost to their attack speed. Destruction: If the energy travels through an enemy, that enemy receives a penalty to their Attack Speed.
Skill 3 – Pillar of Dawn
Shiva dashes into a pillar of fire, meditates there for a brief period of time, absorbing less damage and becomes resistant to CC except from stuns and time dilation, and then he can dash out of the pillar of fire once more. As he meditates, the pillar produces an aura and each dash inflicts damage on adversaries. Allies within the aura receive a block stack, and Shiva receives up to three after departing. Enemies within the aura continuously take damage.
Ultimate – Shiva Tandava
After finishing his Tandava, Shiva channels for the following six seconds while using CC Immunity. He does a pre-selected step every 1.5 seconds. First, restore mana and heal allies. Second step: 50% damage and healing, plus amplification of the effects and radius of the third phase. Reduce enemy damage and shields in the third step.
