How Shiv beats Lady Geist
Brawler vs Mystic
Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.
Your game plan as Shiv
A dirty fighter who bleeds you, defers his own damage and finishes you with an execute.
Lane
Serrated Knives stack bleed; Slice and Dice reduces Spirit Resist.
Mid game
Bloodletting defers damage you take. Dive, then clear it once you’re safe.
Late game
Killing Blow executes targets below a health threshold. Build rage and finish.

- 01Pressure her when she’s low from her own abilities.
- 02Break Life Drain’s line of sight.
- 03Stay healthy near her when Soul Exchange is up; it’s worth less against low-health targets.
