Attack Pattern

Opens by summoning spirits. Letting spirits self-destruct strengthens Shiva's attacks; defeating them first can make her protect herself.

Numbers count this boss’s own actions; combos are listed together. Battle-turn rules are labeled.

When	Action
Her first action, and each later summon	Summon two spirits with Summon Elementals at 70% HP or above, three with Summon Elementals at 40% to below 70%, or four with Summon Elementals below 40%.
Fewer than four spirits have self-destructed	Repeat three actions: summon if ready, otherwise choose from Sleepga (60%) or Confuse (40%) → choose from Blizzaga (the whole party) (40%) or Blizzara (60%) → Snowstorm.
Four to seven spirits have self-destructed	Repeat three actions: summon if ready, otherwise choose from Sleepga (60%) or Confuse (40%) → 40% Snowstorm / 60% Blizzaga (one party member) → Absolute Zero.
Eight or more spirits have self-destructed	Repeat three actions: summon if ready, otherwise choose from Sleepga (60%) or Confuse (40%) → 40% Absolute Zero / 60% Blizzaga (one party member) → Snow Squall.
Her 4th, 7th, 10th actions, and so on	She can summon a replacement wave only on these actions. After the last spirit disappears, two of her actions must pass at 70% HP or above, or one at 40% to below 70%. Below 40%, there is no extra delay. She summons on the next one of these actions; until then, she chooses from Sleepga (60%) or Confuse (40%).
After three more spirits self-destruct	At 60% HP or above, use Blizzaga Barrage three times before her normal attack. Below 60%, use Whiteout before her normal attack. Repeat this bonus after every three further self-destructs.

Pattern Changes

If more spirits in the latest wave were defeated than self-destructed, Shiva can use Perhaps I shall practice prudence... after taking damage while alone and not staggered. Her next summon removes this protection.
