Changes: Shiv

Revision as of 06:56, 25 April 2020

Shiv is a 0-cost card for the Silent. It cannot be obtained by itself; instead, Shivs are added to your hand by other cards.

Shivs can be buffed by the Accuracy card.

Sources of Shivs

Blade Dance: Add 2 (3) Shivs.
Cloak and Dagger: Gain 6 Block, add 1 (2) Shiv.
Infinite Blades: Start each turn with 1 Shiv.
Storm of Steel: Discard your hand, add 1 Shiv per card discarded.
Ninja Scroll: Start each combat with 3 Shivs in hand.

Interactions

Positive
- Accuracy: Shivs deal 3 (5) more damage this combat.
- Strength works fully for Shivs.
- Finisher counts each Shiv played.
- Dead Branch will trigger any time a shiv is played.
- After Image and A Thousand Cuts benefit from any cards played, a strong synergy with Shivs.
- Choke works extremely well with Shivs, as it bypasses Block and activates every time a card is played.
- Can easily use Envenom to quickly apply Poison stacks.
- Wrist Blade increases all Shiv damage by 4
- Pen Nib and Nunchaku are easily cycled by Shivs.
- Ornamental Fan, Shuriken, and Kunai all work with Shivs.
- Master Reality, if you somehow obtain it, increases the damage of Shivs by 2.
Negative
- Velvet Choker makes it hard to play low impact cards like Shivs.
- Strange Spoon makes it possible for played Shivs to discard instead of exhaust, causing them to return to your draw pile.
