Shiv
Shiv is a Brawler hero in DeadlockDB.
Shiv fits a Brawler profile. The useful way to read this hero is not to memorize every stat first, but to identify whether fights are won through access, spell cadence, or sustained ranged pressure.
Overview
Shiv is a playable hero in Deadlock.
Quick Read
- Mobility is more measured, so entry pathing and positioning cost matter more.
- Base durability is lighter, so the hero depends more on timing, angle, or reset tools.

Where This Hero Wins

- This hero gets more value when fights happen in a preferred range and rhythm window.
- Most of the impact comes from how a whole exchange unfolds, not from a single highlight moment.

What To Watch Out For
- Because mobility is more limited, pathing and exit timing matter more.
- Even with a lower mechanical barrier, positioning and fight timing still decide most outcomes.
- If the hero is forced to fight in the wrong range or scenario, raw stats rarely carry the exchange.
