Shiv Synergy & Best Duos

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 44.85% of matches overall (#41 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its best duo is Graves — together they win 52.10%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 36.86%.
