How Shiv beats Seven
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.
How to beat Seven
A storm that rolls in once the fight is already messy.
- 01Break line of sight during Storm Cloud; it does no damage without it.
- 02Interrupt the channel with a stun or dive.
- 03Spread so Static Charge only stuns one.
