Everything You Need to Know About Viktor in League of Legends

If you want a champion that can dominate the Mid Lane with his wave management, burst damage, and late game scaling, Viktor is the champion for you! Whilst his playstyle has been streamlined over the years, this does not mean he's any less of an awesome champion.

So whether you saw him in Arcane, the hit Netflix TV show, or just got stomped by one in your promotion games and want to pick him up to enact some revenge, here is everything you need to know about Viktor in League of Legends! 

Viktor’s abilities in League of Legends

Passive: Glorious Evolution
 

Whenever Viktor reaches 100 Hex Fragments one of his abilities is upgraded. This goes up until he reaches 300 stacks. When upgrading his final basic ability, Viktor's ultimate Chaos Storm also upgrades as well.

Viktor can collect Hex Fragments from killing various minions monsters and champions across the Rift. Each provides a different value and those are:

• Minions and monsters provide one Hex Fragment
• Cannon minions, super minions and epic Monsters provide five Hex Fragments
• Enemy champion takedowns give Viktor 25 Hex Fragments

Q: Siphon Power
 

Viktor launches a small device at the enemy that deals up to 120 Magic Damage plus 40% of Viktors AP, and also grants a shield of up to 105 plus 18% of his AP for two and a half seconds.

He also gains the ability ‘Discharge’ for three and a half seconds, which allows his next basic attack to become empowered - dealing modified Magic Damage of up to 120 plus 100% of his ad plus 60% of his AP.

When fully upgraded, the device will give Viktor movement speed of up to 30% for 2.5 seconds, and the shield strength will be increased by 60% to 184 plus 32% of his AP.

W: Gravity Field

Viktor throws out a small AOE circle for four seconds, and after just under a second it will activate. This slows enemies within it until they leave the Gravity Field. This slow is up to 45% at level 5.

For every half a second that enemies are in the Gravity Field, they gain a stack. At three stacks they are knocked down and stunned for 1.5 seconds, but they can no longer be slowed by the Gravity Field after this.

When augmented, Viktor’s other basic abilities, being his Q and his E, also slow enemies by 20% for one second.

E: Death Ray

This ability is his main wave clear ability, and has him fire a beam of energy along a set path dealing up to 230 Magic Damage plus 50% of his AP.

When upgraded, the path also explodes after the beam has been fired, dealing an additional 140 Magic Damage plus 80% of Viktor’s ability power.

R: Chaos Storm

Viktor summons an AOE storm of energy at the target location, which deals up to 250 Magic Damage plus 50% of his AP. When it lands it will also stop any current abilities being channeled.

This remains active for six and a half seconds, which deals 145 Magic Damage plus 45% of Viktor's AP every second. It will automatically target the nearest champion it hits when first landing.

When targeting an enemy champion, the Chaos Storm will follow them and move faster when it's closer to Viktor. He can also recast it to target and direct the Chaos Storm wherever he chooses.

When Chaos Storm gets upgraded, the Storm moves 25% faster, but when Viktor dies the Chaos Storm will still chase its target until the 6.5-second duration is over.

When was Viktor released in League of Legends?
 

Viktor has been in League of Legends for well over a decade now, being released on December 29, 2011. This was in Patch 1.0.0.131, which also came alongside Ahri being released on December 14, 2011.

His release skins were Full Machine Viktor and Prototype Viktor.

Where is Viktor from in League of Legends?

So if you've watched the hit TV show arcane on Netflix you'll know the Viktor comes from and is currently in Zaun. Whilst most of his journey isn't necessarily documented in Arcane as of yet, we do know a little bit more about him.

We know that in Zaun as an inventor he ends up creating the champion we know and love in Blitzcrank. Now, whether we see Blitzcrank in Arcane is yet to be known, but it would be awesome if we do!

Viktor’s Age in League of Legends
 

Being of a similar age to Jayce in the League of Legends lore, and considering Arcane is canon and is the lore that League of Legends will be continuing to update, we know that Viktor is between 29 and 36 years of age. This means he was born between 961 AN and 968 AN.
