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
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
Focus on staying back and poking with knifes early. Look to fight once you have rage up! Very strong after Rapid Recharge.
Best sustain item and tops healing charts everytime. Your significant powerspike in early/laning phase and for the rest of the game.
Amazing value for spirit resist and stats! Still works great in mid-late game! May want to sell for spellbreaker late game.
Lane Optionals
Situational lane items.
Pick 1
or both as needed.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
In the mid game, you get two powerspikes: Decay & Etheral Shift. Look to creep into team fights after these powerspikes.
Always use to maintain rage uptime! May want to buy Spirit Snatch instead if against debuff remover or Victor and Viscous.
Amazing value for the debuff resist, reduces stuns, DoTs, anti-heal! Also great when slowing hexes, decay, and silences counter you. Buy early against DoT heavy comps like Infernus, or Spirit Burn.
Mid-Late Defensives
Green items you may need.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
We build into more damage and sustain and wilttle down their health in the back line then ult in for the kill.
