Shiva Co-op Battle Appears in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis

There’s a new way to fight Shiva in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, as her Co-op Battle is now available. People can challenge her in this way for one week.

Square Enix and Applibot offered more insight on what to expect from this fight. Up to three people can join in to face Shiva in-game. Doing so nets someone Co-op Medals, which can be swapped for Weapon Parts. Summon Memories and weapons can also be earned. Some Co-op Battle Missions will also appear. Getting through them will net people 20 Stamina Tonics and 1,500 Blue Crystals.

While this marks Shiva’s debut as a Co-op Battle, she’s already been in the game for a while. So have her Summon Weapons, so people have another option for getting and upgrading them. These are the Shiva’s Blade for Cloud and Shiva Cannon for Barret. Both deal MAG ice damage to enemies and offer +50% fire resistance to the characters when equipped. Other traditional summons, like Ifrit, also appear.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for mobile devices, with the Shiva Co-op Battle appearing until November 2, 2023. The game will eventually come to PCs as well, though Square Enix and Applibot haven’t set a release window for that version yet.
