When you fuse new Personas in Persona 3 Reload, there are normally plenty of combinations to get the one you want. This isn’t the case when fusing Shiva, because there’s only one combination that works. Here’s how to fuse Shiva in Persona 3 Reload.
Persona 3 Reload Fusing Shiva
To fuse Shiva in Persona 3 Reload, combine a Rangda with a Barong. You don’t need any Social Links or anything else to fuse a Shiva. The only strange thing about this Persona is that you can only make it by fusing the two Personas mentioned above. Also, while Shiva is a decent Persona to have late in the game, it’s hardly a must-have endgame Persona.
How to fuse Rangda in Persona 3 Reload
If you still haven’t fused Rangda, here are a few common combinations to get it:
| Black Frost | Ganga |
| Archangel | Arahabaki |
| Susano-o | Apsaras |
| Naga Raja | Hanuman |
| Fortuna | Garuda |
| Kushi Mitama | Ganesha |
| Ose | Ganga |
How to fuse Barong in Persona 3 Reload
If you don’t have Barong yet, try these combinations:
| Surt | White Rider |
| Ganga | Lilith |
| Susano-o | Oni |
| Decarabia | Koumokuten |
| Kurama Tengu | Bishamonten |
| Nebiros | Siegfried |
| Gabriel | Quetzalcoatl |
What makes Shiva in Persona 3 Reload special?
While Shiva isn’t one of the strongest Personas in Persona 3 Reload, there are still a few cool things about it. For one, Shiva comes with Invigorate 3, which is a fantastic passive skill to have because it recovers your SP every time you get a turn. If you get lucky, you can also get Debilitate as a Skill during Skill Change after you finish fusion. Debilitate is probably the best Debuff in the game, as it lowers one opponent’s Attack, Defence, and Accuracy. Finally, Shiva can learn Ali Dance, which makes your character more likely to dodge an attack.
Overall, Shiva is an above average armor Persona when you need to recover SP and are waiting for the right opportunity to hit.
