From the game files · client 6782
Apply stacking bleed to the target
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.
Dash ahead, damaging all enemies along the path
Perform a dash forward, damaging enemies along the path. Hit Enemies have their spirit resist reduced. This debuff can stack.
Defer a portion of damage taken
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.
Travel to a low health hero and instantly kill it
Active: Leap forward, dealing spirit damage to the first enemy hero. If they are below the kill threshold, execute them instead. Finishing an enemy with Killing Blow lets you recast for 16s Passive: Damaging enemies fills you with rage. While at full rage, Shiv gains increased damage and unlocks special properties on his other abilities.
Names, descriptions, values and upgrades are the game’s own text and numbers at level 1, before items and spirit scaling. Some descriptions show the damage type without the number, as in game; the value is in the table under each ability. Data

Lore
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.
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.
