Definitions in this Guide
If there is anything in this guide that you don’t understand, check out the FFXV: ANE Encyclopedia Guide. That guide has a lot of detailed explanations for many of the confusing terms you might encounter in the game.
Astral Power
Just like the last Astral release of Ifrit and Ramuh, you will gain tremendous power when you level up Leviathan and Shiva. Even though power doesn’t exactly translate into how strong your empire is, it is a good indicator of what you might have hidden behind the walls. Use this to your advantage, whether you want to lure someone in or deter them from attacking you.
Leviathan, Goddess of the Seas
Crystal competitors will want to level up Leviathan to take advantage of the boosts for Lightning Elementals. However, anyone can benefit from Leviathan’s skill set since she brings more to the table for general combat and debuffs. She also increases your Dark Mercenary March Size.

Compare Leviathan and Shiva
Although both of these Summons have some similarities, you will find that they each have specific focuses for certain types of troops.
For example,
| Shiva | Leviathan |
| Royal Dark Mage | Royal Dark Cavalry |
| Royal Dark Elemental Combat | Royal Dark Ice & Lightning Combat |
| Royal Dark Guardian Combat | Royal Dark Mercenary Combat |
| Royal Dark City Defense Combat | Royal Dark Crystal Combat |
| Dark Elemental March | Dark Mercenary March |
| Royal Dark Shiva: Attack 300M% | Royal Dark Leviathan: Attack 450M% |
| Royal Dark Shiva: Armor 50M% | Royal Dark Leviathan Armor 75M% |
Corrupted Astral Altars
It looks like we will see some more Corrupted Altars on the East and West points of the Crystal Scar!
As long as the previous Cleansing Power skill has been maxed out, you will start with 50% of the total Corruption Cleansing Power possible. So, think of that as a bonus headstart!
TIP: Both Leviathan and Shiva were released before the start of Dark World. Because of this, they use pre-Dark March Speeds. If you would like to use Dark March Speeds instead, include a few Dark Troops or a Dark Astral in your march to the Corrupted Altars.
Leviathan and Shiva Sigils Chart
***This chart assumes that the Sigils are the same as previous Astral releases since the first few levels have followed the same pattern. If this changes or you see an error, please let us know on Line or Discord!
Which Astral to Level up First?
It’s safe to assume that you have Multi-Astral Defense unlocked, so you won’t have to worry about which Astrals you need to have to protect yourself. However, if you are limited on which Sigils you can purchase from the Moogle Market or you don’t have the increased Astral March Capacity, you might need to prioritize one of the Goddesses over the other.
Looking at the basic stats, it appears that Leviathan would be stronger than Shiva. Whether this works out for your specific situation might be a different matter altogether!
One of the best strategies is to get a few levels out of both to take advantage of the larger stats increases in the beginning. Then, focus on the one that would serve you the best.
Conclusion
These Astrals come with huge power and massive boosts to back them up. Go grab some Level 9 Empowerment Sigils from the Moogle Market or the Gold Store and put them to the test. The boosts provided by both Leviathan and Shiva will do well in Crystal combat but are good enough for anywhere in Eos.
