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 Serrated Knives to bleed his foes from range, Shiv initiates close quarters combat on his terms by dashing to them while Slicing and Dicing through those standing in his way. By continuously dealing damage, Shiv builds Rage which enhances his abilities and allows him to be a one man army. Withstanding grievous damage via Bloodletting, Shiv finishes off dying targets with a devastating Killing Blow.
A former criminal, Shiv seeks to make up for his mistakes by hunting down monsters on behalf of The Baxter Society.
Shiv was released on August 15, 2024.

Rage
[edit | edit source]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.
| Damage type | Rage built per damage dealt (%) |
|---|---|
| Weapon Damage | 0.0159 |
| Spirit Damage | 0.0145 |
| Light melee | 1.5566 |
| Heavy melee | 2.8538 |
Rage will begin to decay after 12 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 Barriers).
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.)

[edit | edit source]Apart from global changes, Shiv does not have any special modifications for his abilities in Street Brawl.
Item Draft
[edit | edit source]In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Shiv: High, Average, or Low chance.
Tier 1

Backstory
[edit | edit source]See Shiv/Lore for more story content.
“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.

- Shiv used to collect hairspray cans in Neon Prime, presumably as an old version of his Rage passive ability.
- Shiv's pre-release ultimate ability, Haunt was nearly identical to Lifestealer's Infest ability from Dota 2 and had him become surrounded by bats before leaping inside an enemy hero.
- Shiv's weapon name, the Busted Flush, is a hand in 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.
