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. Land repeated Screwjab Dagger hits on one enemy to increase its damage and slow.
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. Apply Lethal Venom to Shiv, then land a direct Petrifying Bola hit to hold him. Venom can damage him while petrified; save ordinary gun and Screwjab Dagger damage until the protection ends.
