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.

I
Restorative Shot
Sustain on this is crazy

Healing component

Active
Cold Front
Great burst and helps farm waves. Synergizes well with shiv's combos.
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.

Makes up for shiv's inherent sluggishness

More knives.

Reactive Barrier
Keeps you alive in a lot of scenarios.
I
Monster Rounds
Buy if youre losing the push battle.

Buy against heavy poke if you can get it off consistently.

Damage and chase.

Juggernaut
Upgrade to this when vs dangerous gun heroes, especially if they have ricochet.

Plated Armor
Great into gun characters who want to proc on hit effects. I usually opt for juggernaut over this for slot reasons.
