Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities

• Hidden Treasure of Svarga - Shiva's trump card, a war dance that only he can perform. By dancing to the rhythm of the cosmos, Shiva is able to attack his opponent with higher speed and power while confusing them. Its unpredictable rhythm allows Shiva to continuously attack his opponent with multi-hit attacks while his opponent is under the impression of being attacked by multiple enemies at once.

• Tandava - Due to his intense dancing, Shiva's body becomes super-heated and starts to combust which increases the power of his attacks and burns his opponent.

• Krittvasa: Flaming Tiger Claw Dance - Shiva jumps in the air and brings down a powerful kick while simultaneously combusting his feet, slicing and burning his opponent. The flames created from the kick is hot enough to cauterize flesh.

• Tandava Karma: Samsara War Dance - Ashes - Shiva's ultimate secret technique. By forcing his heart to beat faster, Shiva is able to directly stimulate his atman (spirit), resulting in an incredible increase in power and speed. Additionally his body combust and burns at a higher level than when using Tandava, to the point of burning his surroundings, and objects far away from him to ashes. In this state all his blows become hot enough to char and burn away at his opponent's body. There is a drawback to this technique however, as Shiva himself will eventually burn out if he uses the technique for too long.

• Deva Loka: Final Act Flame Dance - A powerful roundhouse kick used by Shiva under his Tandava Karma state. The kick was so powerful and burning hot that it managed to overpower Raiden's Yatagarasu and rip his arm in half.
