SUPERVIVE: How to Play Shiv
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
Master Assassin (Passive): Each hit with Arcslinger increases Shiv's damage output.
Arcslinger (LMB): Fires a bolt from her pistol, applying a stack of Master Assassin.
Chain Bolas (RMB): Throws bolas that damage and ground enemies. Hitting two enemies stuns both.
Quickflip (Shift): Dashes forward, empowering the next Arcslinger shot. Hitting with the empowered shot resets Quickflip's cooldown.
Farstep Dagger (Q): Throws a dagger; after six seconds, Shiv teleports to its location. Recast to teleport early.
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.
