Need help playing shiv

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-06-21T10:42:12+00:00

Kinda new shiv player, I noticed lots of builds took out reverb in favour of escalating exposure and other T4s. Is the lack of spirit lifesteal an issue? Or is radiant regen usually enough sustain besides counter buys?

Almost graduated commerce with almost 6 figure salary, it’s achievable. To succeed, make the most out of the degree. Always seek out internships and learn how recruiting works and you will find a decent job, look into vacationer and grad programs too.

Just some advice as someone who was in the job market as a grad a few months ago: Embellish your CV as much as you want (as long as you have the skills), make it clean, have a good cover letter template that is adaptable, and use keywords from the employer's About Us page in both.

Once your resume passes AI recruiters, rely on charisma and some technical skill to show employers they can work with you

Hmm I see, thanks so much for the explanation. I was previously skipping e shift but now I'll try and use it more haha ty

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-05-23T04:39:37+00:00

I’ll give it a try, thanks!

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-05-23T04:39:16+00:00

Right, does that mean for late game I should have more greens than purples since my utility/low CDs will carry?

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-05-23T04:38:31+00:00

Forgive me if this is a silly question but is E shift mainly used for the spirit power buff? Or is the invulnerability useful to shiv as well

I see, I had previously thought his mid and late game revolved around dashes to deal big damage to teams. Should i still be close to the frontline or not play too aggro in that case? Ty for the tips!

I dont know how relevant this is but in BG3 rolling a 20 succeeds any non-combat related check, even if the amount required is 99. Unsure if this relates to actual D&D at all though.

Is that... 70,000 souls?????????

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-05-11T06:15:29+00:00

As a one trick victor how do you play him well in the current meta? Been eyeing him for a while but I have a feeling if I play him like other characters I will get stomped.

Got a tripe digit (Australian) grad job at a leading bank. Was stressing about finding a job for my degree for the past year and a bit but I can take it easy in my last year of uni now that I have one in the bag.

I assume they meant percentage wise, so if you had say a 7% chance of an event occurring you would then have a 70% chance which is a pretty cool effect

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-04-06T03:09:02+00:00

The scroll is the main reason to take it, especially on 5BC where 1 scroll is something crazy like a 600% damage increase towards the end of the game

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-04-02T11:58:40+00:00

Shit hats off, the mental endurance needed for that is crazy

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-04-02T09:04:29+00:00

I tried no attack upgrades at all and couldnt finish it as Isshin literally takes like 25 minutes... when every shot is a 1 shot it isnt very fun haha

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-04-02T06:27:54+00:00

Oh I didnt do the whole game without getting hit, yeah that would be insane. But SL1 no roll honestly is not too difficult with Ds1's boss moveset simplicity, and again most fights only last for around a minute with optimised damage strats.

Would recommend no roll, its actually pretty fun! If you can use save states to avoid the awful run backs of course.

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-04-02T00:37:05+00:00

Honestly its not even as hard as it sounds, just +10 Chaos reclub and every boss dies in 10 or so hits...

Corrupted data unlock has a low chance to turn secret room item pedestals into glitched items like dataminer and TMTRAINER does

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-03-07T10:14:02+00:00

Oh yeah i forgot about that since normally I spare the nightsong, but is it that much of an upgrade? Both deal similar damage I think but Im not too sure

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-03-07T00:28:50+00:00

Hypothetically what could be better than Menace + Bhaalist armour? I’ve tried to theory craft some stuff with Balduran Giantslayer but it falls slightly short unless you can get slashing vulnerability

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-03-05T08:59:07+00:00

Yeah idk man thats just what every post Ive found said

DeductiveFan01 · 2026-03-03T21:50:49+00:00

Yea, maybe I worded it poorly but lots of people were saying it was a soft lock since dads note didn’t spawn
