'''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. Withstanding grievous damage via Bloodletting, 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 was added to the roster on [[Update:August 15, 2024|August 15, 2024]].

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}Shiv's alternate fire takes {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|AmmoConsumedPerShot}} ammo rounds per shot, and has a recoil that can be used for movement. The alt-fire deals {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Shiv|BulletDamage}}{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|Shiv|Level|BulletDamage}} 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).

* Knives can be used to confirm [[soul|soul orbs]]. This does not consume the knife, but at full rage, it will consume the ricochet.

* Shiv moves forward until it either reaches max range or hits an enemy below the kill threshold, damaging all enemies in its path. It can still damage enemies behind the enemy killed if they're close enough to Killing Blow's hitbox.

* Within roughly 25m of an enemy hero below the kill threshold, they will have a pulsating effect and red outline indicating they can be instantly killed.

* After activating Killing Blow, the targeted hero is able to heal up to 3% of their max health, and still be instantly killed.

! Damage type !! Rage built per damage dealt

| Weapon Damage || {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Killing Blow|RagePerWeaponDamage}}

| Spirit Damage || {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Killing Blow|RagePerSpiritDamage}}

| Light melee || {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Killing Blow|RagePerLightMelee}}

| Heavy melee || {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Killing Blow|RagePerHeavyMelee}}

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]].)

* Shiv's weapon name, the '''Busted Flush''', is a hand in [[wikipedia:Poker|Poker]] of four cards of the same suit (colour and type) and one of a different suit. It's also an expression referring to a promising thing that ends up failing its potential.
