Shiv is a monster hunter with a cause, conducting hit-and-run attacks and picking off vulnerable targets. Flinging Serrated Knives to bleed his targets from range, Shiv builds his Rage through damage and dashes up to his enemy with a Slice and Dice flurry of blades and a few powerful shotgun blasts. Smelling blood, Shiv hunts down any dying targets to finish them off with a devastating Killing Blow.
A former criminal, Shiv seeks to make up for his past mistakes by hunting down monsters on behalf of the Baxter Society.
Abilities
Throw a knife that damages and slows an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the debuff duration, causing the damage to increase per stack.
Ultimate Unlock: While rage is full knives will ricochet to another enemy and apply a slow to enemies they bleed.
Perform a dash forward, damaging enemies along the path.
Ultimate Unlock: While rage is full an echo of Shiv retraces the dash path after a short delay, damaging enemies again.
Take only a portion of incoming damage immediately and defer the rest to be taken over time. Activate to clear a portion of the deferred damage.
Ultimate Unlock: While rage is full the amount of damage deferred is increased.
Activate to leap towards an enemy hero and instantly kill them if their health is below the kill threshold, otherwise deal 200 damage to them.
Passive: Damaging enemies fills you with rage. While at full rage, Shiv gains increased damage and special properties on his other abilities.
Background
“A FATE'S TALE:
A loyal member of "The Baxter Society", an international order of monster hunters, Shiv travels across North America looking to put down creatures that prey on the living.
While his less polished nature and criminal past make some of the more traditional members of the Society wary, no one can deny his effectiveness.
Playstyle
Shiv's Serrated Knives are one of the best early-game pokes, due to their large hitbox, long range, and Bleed ability. He is often able to hold a lane solo with these alone, especially when combined with his healing ability negating the need for a support-focused character. Mid- and late-game, Slice and Dice allows for an aggressive, up-close playstyle, especially when combined with high Rage.
