How Shiv beats Paige
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.
How to beat Paige
A bookish support who shields her carry and floods the city with knights.
- 01Break the Plot Armor barrier before the target’s damage matters.
- 02Step out of Captivating Read’s area before it detonates.
- 03Dive her; she has little self-defence.
