Excellent (9/10)

Viktor is widely considered one of the strongest Piltover & Zaun champions when fully upgraded, but his power is heavily backloaded into his 6-star constellation. His optimal builds consistently create some of the biggest units ever summoned in PoC, but can also lead to repetitive and unengaging gameplay.

Optimal Duplication (C6)
  • Echoing Spirit icon

    'Create's copies of Viktor, enabling them to be duplicated by his C6 ability.

  • Perfect Hex Core icon

    Hexcore upgrades are 'created', so they will be duplicated by his C6 ability.

  • Hymn of Valor icon

    Redoubled Valor is also created, getting doubled by his C6. If have a duplicated Viktor from C6, you get two copies of Redoubled Valor, each of which exponentially boost a Viktor's stats.

Strategy

This build takes maximum advantage of Viktor's C6 ability to double created cards. Viktor gets doubled b/c of Echoing Spirit. Then, each Redoubled Valor is a 4x boost to Viktor's stats. Two Redoubled Valors from the duplicated Viktors makes it 16x. Add on top of that the stat bonuses from Hex Cores, and Viktor can easily reach stats in the thousands, one shotting any encounter.

Try searching from the Shadow Totem item to generate even more Redoubled Valors, to reach even funnier stats.

C4 Chemtech Burn
  • Perfect Hex Core icon

    As a free spell, and a 'created' card, this pings the Nexus when played.

  • Chemtech Duplicator icon

    Grants the late game scaling when you hit 6 mana. Often, the spell burn from hexcore and Viktor's other spells will finish off enemies before you even get a chance to attack.

  • Packed Powder icon

    Reduces Viktor's cost on 'Plunder', enabling him to be played two turns earlier than normal.

Strategy

A strong option for lower star Viktors, this uses his C4 power with perfect hex core to reliably trigger plunder, allowing you you get Viktor in play earlier.

Other Relic Options
  • Chosen by the Stars icon

    Has great synergy with Perfect Hex Core, but Viktor usually has better win conditions.

  • The Scourge's Stash icon

    A good alternative to packed powder.

  • Spellweaver's Symphony icon

    Generates free 'created' spells, but unreliably.

  • Hidden Tome icon

    Combos with Hymm of Valor to grant the spell mana required to immediately play 'Redoubled Valor' when you play Viktor.

  • Icon for Spell Burn

    Spell Burn

    Review

    A massive gain that makes him playable. The addition of spell burn allows for easy Plunder activation and provides consistent Nexus damage.

  • Icon for Manaflow

    Manaflow

    Game Start: Get a mana gem.
  • Icon for Power Surge

    Power Surge

    When you play a created spell or unit, copy it.
    Review

    Transforms Viktor into a top-tier champion. The ability to duplicate created cards (including copies of himself from Echoing Spirit) enables absurdly fast scaling and Turn 1 One-Turn Kills (OTKs).

Gameplay Tips
  • Identifying Created Copies

When using Echoing Spirit, it can be difficult to distinguish between the original Viktor and the created copies in your hand due to UI clutter. Always check the card text for 'Created by' to ensure you trigger his 6-star duplication effect.

  • Beware of Anti-Creation Modifiers

Viktor struggles significantly in adventures with modifiers that increase the cost of created cards (such as Broken Blade) or punish card generation (such as the Fiddlesticks adventure).
