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. Aim Static Charge at the enemy, then send Lightning Ball through the space they need to use. Use cover while waiting for Static Charge to detonate.

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. Aim Static Charge at Shiv and keep Lightning Ball covering his route through the fight. Use cover while waiting for its delayed stun.
