Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Use cover to stop Shiv landing repeated Serrated Knives, which add bleed stacks and refresh their duration. Move sideways as Slice and Dice starts. Bloodletting delays some damage, so keep your distance while it takes effect. Use Pillow Toss to knock the approaching enemy away, and keep a reachable ally near safety for Tag Along.

Mid game · Walkers

Recover health before returning to a fight where Killing Blow can execute you. Dodge Slice and Dice and attack Shiv from range while you are wounded.

Late game · Patron

Protect wounded allies before Shiv reaches them with Killing Blow. At full rage, Slice and Dice can repeat its path, so move clear after the first pass. Healing reduction limits his recovery but does not stop Bloodletting from delaying damage. Use Tag Along to heal a wounded teammate you can reach. Choose an ally outside the enemy’s area attacks so joining them does not expose both of you.
