Summary
Shiva is an optional boss who luxuriates in her tower while awaiting a challenge from the player. Only Summoners have an incentive to fight Shiva, and even then it's easier to fight her after reaching Karnak and purchasing a stack of rods to break over their knees. If that weren't bad enough, cracking an ice rod over the summoner's knee does more damage than Shiva will for the cost of 750 gold, rendering the Shiva fight a curiosity instead of a necessity. The one note is that Shiva must be acquired before the player leaves world 1, otherwise Shiva will be lost forever.

Strategies
Shiva alternates between blasting the front and back row of the party with Blizara, encouraging them to split the party between front and back row. Without visiting Karnak the Summoner is limited to Remora, Chocobo, and Sylph for this fight, none of which can target Shiva's entire party. The easiest solution that is available to a Summoner is breaking fire rods, followed by Ifrit if the player waits until the library.
