Shiv Synergies

Shiv wants a partner who forces enemies to hold still so his knives and dive land cleanly. Seven fits that perfectly, since his stun and area threat pin targets in place while Shiv closes the gap and secures the kill with his execute pressure. Shiv brings the frontline commitment Seven usually can't afford, soaking attention and diving the backline so Seven farms his damage windows from safety. One creates the opening, the other punishes anyone who stayed too long.

Shiv wins 48.06% of matches overall (#26 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its best duo is Victor — together they win 54.36%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 41.46%.
