How about Shiva? instead of Dragon King

I personally prefer a debuffer/support than a buffer/straight dps unit.

Using Ryuoh will allow you to run type B debuff EX which is available (on top of my head) in Belphegor and Water Raph on water element.

If you used Shiva instead of Ryuoh, then you will have to choose between locking yourself into sniper shot or black propaganda (or Modred + sniper shot) if you dont run Belphegor/water Raph in your team.

Considering you already have Nike/Aphrodite/Cthulhu, I dont see a need for Shiva. NikeU cover more utility and debuff compared to Shiva, and also give both atk and def buff.

In your case, I'd probably wait for 2nd miracle for water Raph and in the meanwhile, just use any good water hime you have in that 4th slot.

Shiva is one of the weaker Water SSRs. At max Assault, ATK up is worth less than 50% of its value in actual damage (20% -> <10%). Both of her damage abilities together are worth about 7 normal attacks. So she doesn't contribute much to spike damage, and brings no utility. She's a decent trash killer, but for bosses you'll want a Burst build like Shingen + Ashirat to provide the spike damage (up to double) to empty the Rage meter in one blow. Shiva can potentially sub for Dragon King in this build, but then you'll be short both DEF down and overdrive extension. In general, you'll want both. SSR Nike is a valid sub though.
