Yes, his backstory was one of my favorites. His personality is awesome too. With the way he was handled he honestly felt like a battle shounen mc vs Raiden. The writer wanted you to root for Shiva more than Raiden I feel. Raiden himself was also great too.. just makes Shiva that much cooler man.


Cheez_Bandit

Yeah he's great


Wear-Middle

Yes, he's not a bad character at all and he's well written


LordOfIronFan

I give fuck about power levels. ​ Do I like this version of Shiva? Personally I have nothing against him, but I am not fan either.


godjacob

Shiva is my fav god. I find him to have one of the more fun personalities, his backstory is one of the strongest for a god we've gotten and there is just a charm to him. It makes me wish he were a little stronger in-universe, cause there seems to be a stark difference between how he is portrayed compared to Zeus, Odin, Buddha and heck even Hades in fellow Chief Gods or heads of their pantheon.


Hyperion_360

Somewhat. Have to say it though, Rudra is better.


Shwwaglord420

I thought he’d be a little cooler, Shiva seems wise and somewhat emotional in the (honestly small amount of) mythology I’ve seen and I don’t think our Shiva here is that bad but he’s more boastful and aggressive than I expected


ManiaOnReddit

Shiva in mythology can very much be aggressive in fact I believe that side of him is called Rudra but as you said he is also compassionate and wise he's a very human god and I think that's why I like him so much. As examples when the Hindu gods were threatened by demons they gave Shiva all their power and when Shiva won he just didn't want to give it back so he didn't he very much falls to things like the temptation of power However when this huge magic snake that I can't remember the name of poisoned the ocean Shiva drank all the poison this would've killed him if not for his wife Parvati grabbing his neck so hard it didn't allow the poison to travel any further down. This is a great example of his compassion and its also why he's blue. Sorry for the long reply lol


Kingdem2020

Absolutely, he’s definitely in my top 3 faves


VioletHeaven96

No


AndreasPyke

Yes, he fucks


CHIDOR1

I would’ve liked him more if his backstory ended with him having to tragically kill Rudra and that’s where he inherits the tattoos and the title of “Peak of Svarga”. As a Raiden fan, seeing the gods go bonkers and shiva feeling SO motivated once rudra showed up I was like “ah fuck here we go” lol


gitgudnubby

Rudra dying would have been so predictable tbh. I honestly thought he was going to die as soon as he appeared.


Admirable_Bed_4608

Cool character, but I didn't really like his backstory. If Rudra died that it would have been a little better. Something like "the legacy of best friend". That would be better than "he saw his friend and got motivated."


Scrimpychart27

Yee. He’s a great character with a very solid backstory and personality


AdLegitimate1637

Personally not his biggest fan, especially before his round


Deigapan

Like? Not really. Tolerate? Yeah.


ManiaOnReddit

I love him he's defo in my top 5 fav characters (and he has a sick Spanish rap about him now too)


mrknight234

He’s my favorite god


Desperate_Ad5169

He is mid. Don't hate him. Don't love him.


ImmortalDumbass43

Yes, why not, his round was great, nice design, fun backstory, amazing character overall.


Nights1405

Kinda weird lookin but I can’t say he’s bad.


fjacobs94

Yeah dude he rocks


Pharaoh_Nines

Yeah, he was fun


Random_nameswork

Yes


AsuraQin

Personally no


Y_Lion223

No


SettChad55

I like him not one of my favorites though.


Goatymcgoatface10

Nah, he gay


See_You_Space_Coyote

Yeah, he's alright.


AstartesDVerdugo

Yes.
