Gameplay Style

Viktor is primarily played as a battlemage/mage, leveraging their ranged combat style to dominate in the midlane. Since their release in Patch 1.0.0.131, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Viktor's potential.

As a magical-focused champion who uses Mana to cast their abilities, Viktor requires players to carefully manage their resources while positioning effectively to deal maximum damage. The champion's design makes them particularly effective against grouped enemies with AoE abilities and burst damage.

Viktor's Story

The fully biomechanical evolution of his former self, Viktor has embraced his Glorious Evolution and become something of a messiah to his followers. He sacrificed his own humanity under the logic that eliminating emotion would thereby eliminate suffering—and now seeks to bring the revelation of the hexcore to the rest of the world, even if they're incapable of understanding the benefit. After all, to this master of the arcane, violence is merely a variable necessary to balance the ultimate equation.
