Shiv has zero interest in playing fair, which is why he relies on hit and run tactics to weaken enemies before he dives in for the kill.

Item Build
Early Game
Focus on poking the enemies with knifes early. Once 2 points into slice and dice is put into, you can be aggressive, and look to dive with your ult when low.
May want to sell really late into the game if out of slots, choose this or decay, your choice.
Optional Sustain/Counter
If struggling to survive in lane, try one of these.
May be helpful against Abrams/Calico if you can succesfully parry.
Mid Game
In the mid game, you get two powerspikes: Rapid Recharge & Surge of Power. Look to creep into team fights after these powerspikes.
Amazing value for the debuff resist, reduces stuns, DoTs, anti-heal! Also great when slowing hexes & decay counter you. Buy early against DoT heavy comps like Infernus, or Spirit Burn.
GREED
Great if anti-heal becomes a massive problem.
A great snowball item to gain lots of souls and raw stats!
If matchmaking is bad and need to carry, it might be worth picking up.
Late Game
In the late game, we build into lots of sustain, then use anti-heal and shreds to get close then ult for the kill.
Leech early for more sustain. If you prefer more damage instead, buy later.
PARRY MASTER
YOU'D WIN
BUY IF NAH ID WIN

Amazing farming item for creeps & camps!
Buy against Bebop, Sinclair, or Wraith!
Buy against Haze or Vyper! As well as other bullet heavy builds.

Buy against Geist or Yamato! Or for general utility.
Buy against Talon or Vindicta! Also great to cancel channeling ults.
Buy against Haze or Vyper! Or against bullet heavy comps.
Could be a more consistent pickup then metal skin or Bullet Resilience against hybrid gun damage dealers.
Great for charcters that have high burst damage! Also great for the resists.
Fighting, all day everyday!
Great if the enemy has lots of hard cc to counter you!
Buy against Yamato. Very powerful item against channeling ultimates.
Could be great if frequently fighting on the map!
