'''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.

'''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!

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.

After waking up on 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.

* Jumpstart self damage is considered [[Pure Damage]], and thus cannot be reduced by Spirit Resistance.

}}

** 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}}.}}

* 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}}.

* 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.

* 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.

* ~~The~~ "~~non~~-lethal" damage-over-time dealt by {{AbilityIcon|Affliction}} will ~~nevertheless~~ trigger Shocking Reanimation if it ~~brings Victor down to 1 health. It is unclear whether or not this interaction~~ is ~~intentional~~.

* "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.

* Victor has [[wikipedia:Heterochromia_iridum|heterochromia]]. ~~This~~ is ~~likely due to the fact that he~~ is a ~~patchwork of different body parts and they're two different people's eyes~~.

** 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]].
