'''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]]'''.

== Playstyle ==
=== Rage ===
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.


== Update history ==
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.

- Gun Falloff Range reduced by 10%.


- Health Growth per Boon reduced: +41 → <u>+35</u>.
Rage has a '''max value of 10''' which is required to be filled before becoming '''Enraged''', granting you the full rage bonuses.

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


- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Bloodletting|Size=20}} Bloodletting Deferred Damage reduced: 35% → <u>30%</u>.
Rage only builds up from damage dealt to players (this includes [[Barrier]]s).


- 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.
NOTE: These numbers are taken from the code for the game, but rage built per damage does not actually reflect in-game values.
|-
|Update 08-22-2024
| - {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Bloodletting|Size=20}} Bloodletting Deferred Damage reduced: 40% → <u>35%</u>.
|-
|Update 08-16-2024
| - Gun Base Damage reduced: 6.3 → <u>5.7</u>.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} Serrated Knives Collision Size reduced by 10%.


- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} Serrated Knives Projectile Speed reduced by 10%.
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}}.)


- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Serrated Knives|Size=20}} Serrated Knives Base Damage reduced: 75 → <u>35</u>.

* Shiv has an [[:File:Monster Shiv model.png|alternate model]] in the game files titled '''"shiv_ult.vmdl_c"''' which shows an unfinished giant mole transformation, presumably meant for an old ultimate ability.
* Shiv is voiced by '''Greg Chun''', who also voices {{HeroIcon|Pocket}}.<ref name=":0">{{YouTubeCite|1=cB8SgHZF1GQ|2=Greg's top 100 Voiceover roles 2025}}</ref>
* In now removed voice lines, the [[Patron|Patrons]] said that Shiv "had been" a father<ref name=":1">{{PageRef|name=Sapphire Flame}}'s in-game [[Shiv/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Shiv Start): ''"You've been many things, Shiv. A brigand, a father, a killer. But if you summon me, I'll make you a king."''</ref> and had a "monster inside him" called "The Beast".<ref name=":2">{{PageRef|name=Sapphire Flame}}'s in-game [[Shiv/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Shiv Start): ''"Shiv, the monster inside you is not the Beast, it is ambition.

* 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 [https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Lifestealer 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 '''[[wikt:busted_flush|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.
* Shiv carries an amulet on his hip with a design similar to the blood key from the movie [[wikipedia:Demon_Knight|''Demon Knight'']].<ref>{{YouTubeCite|_vujRFDWbVA|THE PROP SHOP 01: DEMON KNIGHT BLOOD KEY}}</ref> The amulet glows red when Shiv is at full Rage.
