Shivas are experimental siege mechs equipped with two powerful cannons and a heavy vertical rocket launcher. Their cannons excel at killing tightly-packed enemies, while their longer-ranged rockets clear walls and high terrain to pick off key defenses.

The flight time of their rockets can lead to friendly fire as allies walk into them! Be careful!

They're also amphibious and can walk underwater, though they can't fire their weapons this way.

Shivas are best at destroying lighter units and laying waste to defensive lines, but falter vs. heavy tanks, and turrets like the Pulsar.
