'''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]].

Shiv's gun has an alt-fire mode.

* When standing within roughly 25m of an enemy hero below the kill threshold, Shiv will receive a large arrow pointing towards them, including through walls.
** Additionally, heroes below the threshold within range of Shiv are outlined in red and have a pulsing effect
* After activating the ability, the targeted hero may heal an additional 3% of their health without cancelling the instant kill effect
* Killing Blow will continue to chase moving targets after activation, such as targets being pulled by Rescue Beam
** If the enemy hero becomes invulnerable or stops being a valid target, such as using Ethereal Shift or teleporting, Killing Blow will whiff and go on cooldown.

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}

* Shiv's Alt-fire takes two ammo, and has a recoil that can be used for movement.
** Despite costing two ammo, it can be used with only one ammo left with no downsides.

== Rage ==
After unlocking Shiv's '''Killing Blow''' ultimate, rage can be built by dealing any damage. The amount of rage built varies depending on the source.

Rage has a '''max value of 10''' which is required to be filled before becoming '''Enraged''', granting you the full rage bonuses.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Rage build values
|-
! Damage type !! Rage built per damage dealt
|-
| Weapon Damage || 0.017
|-
| Spirit Damage || 0.013
|-
| Light melee || 1.5
|-
| Heavy melee || 2.75
|}

Rage will begin to decay after '''9 seconds''' of not dealing any damage, at a rate of 0.25 per second (40 seconds total).

Non-player units grant x0.1 the rage.

NOTE: These numbers are taken from the code for the game, but rage built per damage does not actually reflect in game values.

As a rule of thumb: Rage built from '''Weapon Damage''' and '''Melee Damage''' does not noticeably change with increases to weapon or spirit power, always taking roughly 18 shots at point blank or 4-7 Melee attacks (depending on strength) to build max rage. Rage built from '''Spirit Damage''' does scale with spirit power granting more rage the more damage your abilities do, however this is offset by the rage you build decreasing with spirit power, 100 Spirit power halving the rage built  (Imbued spirit power from [[Surge of Power]] is not counted towards this, causing it to grant a lot more rage (to the imbued ability) than [[Boundless Spirit]].)

{{Quotation|'''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.
