Identity
Shiv wears enemies down with bleeding cuts before closing for the kill. He can delay some incoming damage, giving him time to keep fighting when he's already been hit hard.
Throw a knife that bleeds an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the bleed duration, causing the bleed to increase per stack.
How to use. Use Serrated Knives to apply the bleed from range and refresh it before it expires when continuing the pressure is safe.
Perform a dash forward, damaging enemies along the path. Hit Enemies have their spirit resist reduced. This debuff can stack.
How to use. Use Slice and Dice through the wave or through a target you are committing onto. Keep it available as an exit when the fight turns against you.
Take only a portion of incoming damage immediately and defer the rest to be taken over time. Activate to clear a portion of the deferred damage.
How to use. Bloodletting passively defers part of the damage you take instead of dealing it all immediately. Activate it to clear a portion of that deferred damage, and account for the damage still coming when you decide whether to keep fighting or leave.
Travel to a low health hero and instantly kill it
How to use. Use Killing Blow only when the target is actually low enough for the finish. Missing the execute window leaves you committed without the payoff.
