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.

Hybrid build with great slot efficiency, damage, sustain, and power curve.

Old version got duped for some reason. Correct ID: 267046
I
Restorative Shot
Sustain on this is crazy
I
Mystic Regeneration
Healing component
II
Active
Cold Front
Great burst and helps farm waves. Synergizes well with shiv's combos. Make sure to buffer with slice and dice.
I
Close Quarters
Damage component
II
Opening Rounds
Crazy value for its cost.
III
Express Shot
Main damage item. M2 burst on this is incredible, and M1s are reliable at midrange. Play around it.
II
Enduring Speed
Makes up for shiv's inherent sluggishness
I
Extra Charge
More knives. Upgrade super late or sell it later for slots.
II
Reactive Barrier
Keeps you alive in a lot of scenarios.
I
Monster Rounds
Buy if youre losing the push battle.
I
Active
Healing Rite
Buy against heavy poke if you can get it off consistently.
Shift order based on annotations/game state.
III
Radiant Regeneration
Core healing item. Buy earlier if you need the sustain
III
Point Blank
Damage and chase.
III
Fortitude
+450-500 hp in fight, great out of fight sustain, and great mobility.
IV
Active
Arctic Blast
Buy earlier if you have close to 4800. Sets up express burst
IV
Active
Ethereal Shift
Buy earlier if youre close to 6400. Feels incredible for survival. Can be used multiple times in a fight.
IV
Leech
Core healing item. Synergizes extremely well with hybrid shiv.
IV
Transcendent Cooldown
Rounds out the build and gives great uptime for our 3 actives. Skip if you need defensives.
III
Rapid Recharge
More knives....again. Skip if you need defensives.
III
Spirit Resilience
Check damage from last 10 minutes before buying
III
Bullet Resilience
Check damage from last 10 minutes before buying

Get this often
IV
Witchmail
Great for skill uptime.
IV
Juggernaut
Upgrade to this when vs dangerous gun heroes, especially if they have ricochet.
IV
Plated Armor
Great into gun characters who want to proc on hit effects. I usually opt for juggernaut over this for slot reasons.

Spellbreaker
Very good for keeping you alive against spirit burst.
IV
Active
Colossus
Get when you need both resists in a slot efficient package.
