Shiv is a melee fighter in Supervive and excells in close-quarters combat with high mobility and burst damage. Here are their abilities and some tips and tricks on how to play Shiv:

Shiv Abilities Overview

  1. Master Assassin (Passive): Each hit with Arcslinger increases Shiv's damage output.

  2. Arcslinger (LMB): Fires a bolt from her pistol, applying a stack of Master Assassin.

  3. Chain Bolas (RMB): Throws bolas that damage and ground enemies. Hitting two enemies stuns both.

  4. Quickflip (Shift): Dashes forward, empowering the next Arcslinger shot. Hitting with the empowered shot resets Quickflip's cooldown.

  5. Farstep Dagger (Q): Throws a dagger; after six seconds, Shiv teleports to its location. Recast to teleport early.

  6. Fusillade (R): Fires a barrage around her, dealing bonus damage and applying anti-heal near the edge of the area. Resets Quickflip's cooldown and grants an extra Quickflip charge while active.

Tips for Playing Shiv

  • Engagement: Initiate fights with Chain Bolas to ground or stun enemies, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.

  • Mobility: Use Quickflip to dash in and out of combat, maintaining high mobility and positioning advantage.

  • Combos: Combine Quickflip with Arcslinger to reset dashes and keep pressure on opponents.

  • Escape: Utilize Farstep Dagger to create escape routes or close gaps quickly.

  • Ultimate Usage: Activate Fusillade in crowded areas to maximize damage and control the battlefield.
