Full matchup plan
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. Throw Consecrating Grenade at Shiv, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.
