| '''Victor''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'' who walks the line between life and death. Victor has learned to harness pain, shocking himself with '''[[Victor#Jumpstart|Jumpstart]]''' to get his adrenaline rushing and his faulty heart pumping. He welcomes incoming damage with open (albeit mismatched) arms, channeling it into his '''[[Victor#Pain Battery|Pain Battery]]''' and granting enemies a taste of the pain he endures. Get too close and risk getting caught in his '''[[Victor#Aura of Suffering|Aura of Suffering]]''', but hey, at least you'll be suffering together. And just when you think you've taken him down, he'll '''[[Victor#Shocking Reanimation|piece himself back together]]''' and live again!

| Victor was released on [[Update:August 29, 2025|August 29, 2025]] as the final hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six New Heroes]] update.

| | '''Frank''' is an unreleased [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]],'' based on the literary character [[wikipedia:Frankenstein's_monster|Frankenstein's monster]]. |
| {{WeaponCard|key=hero_frank}}
| |
| Victor's weapon takes 1.67s to spin up and reach max fire rate and bullet spread.

| * Jumpstart self damage is not reduced by Golden Goose Egg nor Curse.

| * On T3, existing non-ultimate debuffs have their duration cut in half.
| |
| ** If Jumpstart's buff is active before a debuff hits Victor, the duration of any debuff, ultimate or non-ultimate, will get cut in half.
| |
| |tips=* Since Jumpstart's buff only reduces ultimate debuffs if it is active before the ultimate procs on Victor, it is a good idea to predict those abilities in a teamfight, such as {{HeroIcon|Pocket}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Affliction}}.}} | |

| * Aura's T1 slow and T3 debuffs are continously reapplied which effectively nullifies any debuff resist. However when the player leaves the aura the effects lingers for {{DataProp|Aura of Suffering|DebuffDuration}}s. which can be reduced e.g. by {{ItemIcon|Debuff Reducer}}.
| |
| * Stacking a lot of Debuff Resist can result in a situation when the T1/T3 debuffs expire before aura reapplies them every {{DataProp|Aura of Suffering|TickRate}}s, which results in the player continously receiving and losing debuffs.

| * [[Status Effects#Purge|Purges]] all debuffs when triggered. Victor is [[Status Effects#Invincible|invincible]] and unable to move or act during channel.
| |
| * If {{AbilityIcon|Aura of Suffering}} is active when Shocking Reanimation is triggered, it will turn itself off during the channel, then automatically reactivate itself when Victor revives. This resets Aura's damage ramp-up.
| |
| * Shocking Reanimation is not affected by [[Silence]].
| |
| * Attacks that trigger Shocking Reanimation will not register any deaths/kills/assists in the HUD. They <i>will,</i> however, trigger any and all "on hero kill" and "on assist" effects/[[stack]]s for the would-be killer and/or assistant(s).
| |
| * If Victor has {{ItemIcon|Cheat Death}} or a [[Rejuvenator]] credit, their effects are only triggered if Shocking Reanimation is on cooldown.
| |
| ** The only exception is for {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Killing Blow}}, which will trigger both Shocking Reanimation and Cheat Death at the same time.
| |
| * "Non-lethal" damage-over-time dealt by abilities like {{AbilityIcon|Aura of Suffering}} and {{HeroIcon|Pocket}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Affliction}}, or items like {{ItemIcon|Blood Tribute}}, will kill Victor and trigger Shocking Reanimation if it is off cooldown.

| == Trivia ==
| |
| * Victor's name is a reference to [[wikipedia:Victor_Frankenstein|Victor Frankenstein]]; the creator of Frankenstein's monster in Mary Shelly's 1818 novel ''Frankenstein''. | |
| * Victor's appearance and attractiveness are likely also inspired by Frankenstein's monster's description in the original novel, quote: ''"I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His skin scarcely covered his work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing."'' <ref> Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley, 1818</ref>
| |
| * Victor was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025, originally named '''Frank'''.<ref>2025-05-01 - atahutahatena on Reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumors - [https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1kclj5p/streamer_accidentally_leaks_hero_roster_of_a_more/ Streamer accidentally leaks hero roster of a more "secret" private Deadlock pre-alpha playtest build]</ref> Victor's model was also leaked when a game tester from Deadlock's private build accidentally posted a bug report about Victor to ''Deadlock's'' public forums in July 2025.
| |
| * "Brooding in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Victor in the [[Hideout]].
| |
| ** He shares this status with {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}.
| |
| * Victor has [[wikipedia:Heterochromia_iridum|heterochromia]] because his eyes belonged to different people. His left eye is brown and his right eye is blue. He also has [[wikipedia:Anisocoria|anisocoria]], as his left eye has a dilated pupil.
| |
| * The barbed wire wrapped around Victor's left arm will glow with electricity when Pain Battery is ready to be used.
| |
| * Victor's zipline animation, in which he is dragged by his shoulders while hanging motionless, was likely inspired by a viral video of a man hanging on a zipline in a similar pose. This was suggested on Reddit before Victor was released in the [[Six New Heroes]] update, and at the time he used {{HeroIcon|Lash}}'s zipline animation.<ref>2025-08-24 - epowx on Reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame - [https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame/comments/1mywsxz/they_should_definitely_add_this_animation_to_new/ They should definitely add this animation to new undead character]</ref>
| |
| * Victor's weapon, an electric staple gun, is branded "GIGAWATT" on its sides, likely as a nod to [[wikipedia:DeWalt|DeWalt Industrial Tool Company]]. This name is also shared with {{HeroIcon|Seven}}'s previous incarnation in [[Neon Prime]].
