Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Guide › Eidolons

Shiva-Class

Shiva-class Eidolons are skilled in the use of Ice-based attacks. With proper timing, these Eidolons can chain attacks for extended combos. Shiva-class Eidolons are quick, but their momentum can make it difficult to control their movements.

Shiva

Like Ifrit, Shiva is unlocked fairly early in the game. Unlike other Eidolons in her class, Shiva offers three command abilities. Her high speed and long summon duration make Shiva an ideal choice when time is of the essence.

How to Unlock:

Complete the Mission “The Capture of Togoreth Stronghold” on Officer difficulty.

Minimum Summoning Radius:

0.7 meters

Duration:

90 seconds (can be increased to 120 seconds)

Shankara

Shankara starts with a high level and has a very high Ice Magic rating. However, these advantages are offset by her low max HP and a short summon duration. This means that chaining multiple Crystal Dust attacks is the key to Shankara’s effectiveness in battle.

How to Unlock:

Complete the Mission “Operation Breakthrough” on the second playthrough.

Minimum Summoning Radius:

0.6 meters

45 seconds (can be increased to 65 seconds)

Petite Shiva

Petite Shiva is roughly half the size of a human, and she has a very slow movement speed for a member of this Eidolon class. She starts at a fairly low level, so Petite Shiva requires a bit of experience before she’s effective in tough battles. Attack with Icicle Twirl and chain into Crystal Dust for a solid combo.

How to Unlock:

Complete the Expert Trial “Covering the Cadets” on Agito difficulty.
