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

After waking up in a mortuary table with no memories, Victor wants nothing more than to find out who made him and from whom he is made of.

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.

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_frank}}
Victor's weapon takes 1.67s to spin up and reach max fire rate and bullet spread.

== Abilities ==

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = Victor
| ability_num = 1
| notes =
* It takes damage equal to 40% of Victor's Max HP to gain a charge. [[Ability Cooldown|Cooldown Reduction]] (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Superior Cooldown}}) reduces the required amount to <code>40% × (1 − CDR%)</code> of Max HP, with 20% CDR, you only need to lose 32% Max HP.
}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = Victor
| ability_num = 2
| notes       =
* Jumpstart self damage is considered [[Pure Damage]], and thus cannot be reduced by Spirit Resistance.
* 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 hits you, it is a good idea to predict those abilities in a teamfight, such as [[Pocket]]'s [[Affliction]].}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = Victor
| ability_num = 3
| notes       =
* Does 50% damage to objectives.
* Aura of Suffering self damage is considered [[Pure Damage]], and thus cannot be reduced by Spirit Resistance.
* Aura of Suffering self damage is non-lethal (but can still trigger {{AbilityIcon|Shocking Reanimation}}).
* On T3, enemies within Aura radius take +15% [[Damage Amp]] from all sources.
* Is not canceled when using {{ItemIcon|Ethereal Shift}}.
}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = Victor
| ability_num = 4
| notes       =
* [[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>
