“
Shiv is a playable hero in Deadlock, added on August 15, 2024.[1]
Abilities

Throw a knife that damages and slows an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the debuff duration, causing the damage to increase per stack.
Ultimate Unlock: While rage is full knives will ricochet to another enemy and apply a slow to enemies they bleed.


Background
“A FATE'S TALE:
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.
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.
