'''Shiv''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Seeking atonement for his past life, Shiv is a cutthroat monster hunter with a cause, conducting hit-and-run attacks and picking off vulnerable targets.

'''Shiv''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He 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]].


{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}
Shiv's gun has an alt-fire mode.
Shiv's alternate fire takes {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|AmmoConsumedPerShot}} ammo rounds per shot, and has a knockback recoil that can be used for movement. The knockback can be removed by sources of [[Movement Silence]], such as {{ItemIcon|Slowing Hex}}.


The alt-fire deals {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|BulletDamage}}{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|Shiv|Level|BulletDamageAltFire}} damage per pellet, at {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|BulletsPerShot}} pellets per shot ({{#expr:{{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|BulletDamage}}*{{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|BulletsPerShot}}}} total).
Shiv was added to the roster on [[Update:August 15, 2024|August 15, 2024]].

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.

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 {{ItemIcon|Surge of Power}} is not counted towards this, causing it to grant a lot more rage (to the imbued ability) than {{ItemIcon|Boundless Spirit}}.)

=== Ability Changes ===
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}Shiv's alternate fire takes two ammo rounds, and has a recoil that can be used for movement. The alt-fire deals 5.13 damage per pellet.
<!--For fresh data see [[Deadlock:Street Brawl Ability Changes]] -->
Apart from [[Street Brawl#Heroes|global changes]], Shiv does '''not''' have any special modifications for his abilities in Street Brawl.
=== Item Draft ===
{{HeroStreetBrawlItems|Shiv}}


== Backstory ==
The approximate movement distance from the alt-fire recoil (without items or level-ups) is as follows:
{{Fates_Tale|shiv}}
{| class="wikitable sortable"

!Movement state

In order to use the jump momentum for max distance, one has to shoot slightly before reaching the apex of the jump.
