Description

Heavenly Strike is a command used by Shiva. A non-elemental physical attack, it also has an added effect of inflicting Threaten status on the enemy, and not delay like as says in the in-game description. It is a Rank 4 ability, meaning it has a longer recovery time than a normal Attack.

Heavenly Strike can also be used by Belgemine's Shiva during the two optional occasions it can be fought, where it inflicts Threaten and delay. Dark Shiva uses her own version of Heavenly Strike, which has the same effect while additionally inflicting Instant Death, Confuse, Power Break, and stronger delay.

Template:FFXI Spell Heavenly Strike is Shiva's level 75 Blood Pact. It may only be employed by Summoners who enable it with three Merit Points. The attack deals substantial Ice damage that increases with Shiva's TP. Additional Merit Points may be spent to enhance this effect. Heavenly Strike is classified as a spell and can therefore magic burst for even greater results if executed at the end of an appropriate skillchain.
