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 Crow Familiar before a safe shooting exchange to reduce the target’s Bullet resistance. Choose Flight positions that still leave cover within reach.
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.
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 Stake to limit Shiv’s movement and follow with gunfire or Assassinate from cover. Assassinate deals extra damage to low-health enemies.
