Abilities

• 

  Serrated Knives

  Throw a knife that bleeds an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the bleed duration, causing the bleed to increase per stack.

• 

  Slice and Dice

  Perform a dash forward, damaging enemies along the path. Hit Enemies have their spirit resist reduced. This debuff can stack.

• 

  Bloodletting

  Take only a portion of incoming damage immediately and defer the rest to be taken over time. Activate to clear a portion of the deferred damage.

• 

  Killing Blow

About the hero

A loyal member of "The Baxter Society", an international order of monster hunters, Shiv travels across North America looking to put down creatures that prey on the living.<br><br>While his less polished nature and criminal past make some of the more traditional members of the Society wary, no one can deny his effectiveness.

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.
