How Shiv beats Silver
Brawler vs Brawler
A brawler mirror is about who commits second. Both of you want close range, so the hero who lands crowd control on the other’s engage wins the trade. Keep stamina for a disengage and fight near your troopers.
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.
