Deadlock Victor Overview

Victor is an unkillable machine! He likes to absorb damage and dish it out at the same time!

Strengths

Extremely durable, which is great for team fights.
He is very mobile and fast, which helps to get in and out of fights and chase enemies down.
Straight-forward and easy to play.

Weaknesses

Takes a long time to scale. Being unable to use Aura of Suffering, leaves Victor with a very weak early game.
Limited range makes him prone to long ranged damage and kiting.
His early game is very weak.

Underlined = Scales with Spirit

Pain Battery (1)
Taking any damage passively charges up your Pain Battery. Once full, activating the ability zaps all targets in front of you, dealing spirit damage.
20m Radius		2s Cooldown
100 Damage

Pain Battery Upgrades
1 AP	2 AP	5 AP
On Hit: Apply 40% Slow for 2s	+40 Damage	On Hero Hit: Heal for 20% of your missing health

Tips for Pain Battery

Pain Battery will charge faster with Aura of Suffering. Pain Battery’s 5AP talent can only be activated on 1 person at a time, so the maximum healing Victor can obtain is always 20%

Jumpstart (2)
Deal spirit damage to yourself. Then, gain bonus regeneration and bonus move speed, decaying over time.
4s Duration	22s Cooldown	1 Charges
15% Current Health	On Buff: 100 Total HP Regen	On Buff: +4m/s Move Speed

Jumpstart Upgrades
1 AP	2 AP	5 AP
+1.5m/s Move Speed	+50 Total HP Regen	-4s Cooldown. On Cast: Purge non-ultimate debuffs

Tips for Jumpstart

Jumpstart 5AP upgrade is the strongest powerspike Victor has. Since it takes current health damage, it is better to use it at lower health and to remove antiheal effects such as Toxic Bullets or slows such as Mystic Reverb.

Aura of Suffering (3)
Unleash pain, dealing spirit damage over time to both enemies and yourself. The damage continues to increase the longer the ability is channelled, up to a maximum amount.
8m Radius	10s Duration	2.5s Cooldown
15 Minimum DPS	70 Max DPS	85% Self-Damage

Aura of Suffering Upgrades
1 AP	2 AP	5 AP
Enemies recieve 30% Slow	+8 Min DPS and +40 Max DPS	Enemies take +13% Damage

Tips for Aura of Suffering

Highly recommended to use Aura of Suffering sparingly throughout the early and midgame, as using it in combat will quickly kill Victor. With some extreme Spirit resistance and some sustain, Aura of Suffering can be used more.

Shocking Reanimation (4)
Leap high into the air and choose a ground location to smash into. When you hit the ground, all enemies in the radius are damaged and stunned. Press [LMC] to crash down early.
3s Channeling Time	12m Radius	190s Cooldown
60% Rebirth Health	200 Damage	Stun: 1.5s Stun Duration

Shocking Reanimation Upgrades
1 AP	2 AP	5 AP
On Revive: Gain 25% Fire Rate and +3m Radius and +100 Damage	+40% Rebirth Health	+10 spirit damage per bullet and 20% fire rate while the ability is on cooldown

Tips for Shocking Reanimation

Make sure to use Aura of Suffering right before Victor dies as it will work during the revive time of Shocking Reanimation .

Victor has a very short range, so kiting him will easily limit his threat and his options against you.
Shocking Reanimation is a very long cooldown so look to fight Victor while his ult is down for an easy kill.
Shiv and Grey Talon are natural killers of Victor as they have %HP executes to kill through Victor's high HP twice.
