Shiva Guardian Force

Guardian Force - Shiva
Shiva
Attack 'Diamond Dust'
Ice based elemental damages all enemies - Ice particles fall from the sky and suddenly form a icicle-like structure that contains Shiva, asleep. She opens her eyes and shatters the encasing ice that previously imprisoned her. She raises her hands, held together, and summons a ball of ice energy and blasts it into the enemy; a sea of ice engulfs them.
How to Gain
Very simple; on Disc 1, pretty much near the very start of the game, log on to the Balamb Network using the computer at the back of Squall's classroom. On the menu, select 'Tutorial' and you will receive the Guardian Force's Shiva and Quetzalcoatl to help you on your way.
