Overview

This build was created AverageJonas. To find it in game, search for "Twitch.tv/Averagejonas DASH SHIV" (BuildID: 70881)

Dash Shiv is not necessarily the strongest archetype for Shiv right now, but by far the most fun in my opinion. Your main goal is to lure players into narrow spaces and dash through multiple enemies. When your dash is maxed your cooldown resets very quickly if you hit multiple targets. Imbue every item to 2.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED.

Early Game

  • A big mistake a lot of people make on Shiv is fighting too early. Your main goal is to get ahead of everyone else in this stage. Just click your orbs, buy health and sustain items and farm efficiently. Especially because you are building Ammo Scavenger stacks, you want to avoid unnecessary deaths.

  • Once dash is maxed you will farm the jungle very fast.

Mid Game

  • Now that you have torment pulse and some green items you can start looking for fights. Remember that your ultimate is great for finishing off weak targets so don't be afraid to enter the fight a bit late.

  • You still need to try have more farm than the rest of the team which means sometimes you have to make selfish choices.
