'''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 can efficiently traverse the battlefield and catch up with his targets by making full use of his shotgun's recoil. Flinging '''[[Shiv#Serrated Knives|Serrated Knives]]''' to bleed his foes from range, Shiv initiates close quarters combat on his terms by dashing to them while '''[[Shiv#Slice and Dice|Slicing and Dicing]]''' through those standing in his way. By continuously dealing damage, Shiv builds '''[[Shiv#Killing Blow|Rage]]''' which enhances his abilities and allows him to be a one man army. Withstanding grievous damage via '''[[Shiv#Bloodletting|Bloodletting]]''', Shiv finishes off dying targets with a devastating '''[[Shiv#Killing Blow|Killing Blow]]'''.

{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''


{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}
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.
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).
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.}}


== Abilities ==
== 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.

* Within roughly 25m of an enemy hero below the kill threshold, they will have a pulsating effect and red outline alongside a cracked heart in the center of their mass, indicating they can be instantly killed.
* Execute deals [[Pure Damage]].

=== Rage ===
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Slice and Dice|Size=20}} '''Slice and Dice''' T2 Reduced: +100 → <u>+85</u>.


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.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Slice and Dice|Size=20}} '''Slice and Dice''' T3 now considers creeps for only half value.


Rage has a '''max value of 10''' which is required to be filled before becoming '''Enraged''', granting you the full rage bonuses.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Bloodletting|Size=20}} '''Bloodletting''' Deferred Damage Reduced: 35% → <u>30%</u>.


{| class="wikitable"
- The targeting UI for Shiv's {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Killing Blow|Size=20}} '''Killing Blow''' is now more clear about when the target will be killed.

- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} '''Serrated Knives''' Collision Size reduced by 10%.
Rage will begin to decay after '''{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Killing Blow|RageDrainDelayDuration}} seconds''' of not dealing any damage, at a rate of 0.25 per second (43 seconds total).


Rage only builds up from damage dealt to players (this includes [[Barrier]]s).
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} '''Serrated Knives''' Projectile Speed reduced by 10%.


NOTE: These numbers are taken from the code for the game, but rage built per damage does not actually reflect in-game values.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} '''Serrated Knives''' Base Damage Reduced: 75 → <u>35</u>.


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}}.)
