Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VII Remake[]
Heavenly Strike is an ability used by Shiva for 2 ATB segments. She conjures a block of ice and smashes it down onto an opponent, greatly increasing stagger. The move is powerful and good for staggering, but slow to start and thus may miss. It is most effective against stopped or sleeping opponents.

Damages an enemy and delays its movement.
Description
Heavenly Strike is an ability used by Shiva. A non-elemental physical attack, it also has an added effect of inflicting the Threaten status on the enemy. 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 she can be fought, where it inflicts Threaten in the former and a weak Delay in the latter. When fighting Shiva Inside Sin, it inflicts strong Delay. Dark Shiva uses her own version of Heavenly Strike, which is a Rank 2 ability and inflicts Instant Death, Berserk, and Confuse.
