Viktor Build
the Herald of the Arcane
The fully biomechanical evolution of his former self, Viktor has embraced his Glorious Evolution and become something of a messiah to his followers. He sacrificed his own humanity under the logic that eliminating emotion would thereby eliminate suffering—and now seeks to bring the revelation of the hexcore to the rest of the world, even if they're incapable of understanding the benefit. After all, to this master of the arcane, violence is merely a variable necessary to balance the ultimate equation.
The most played Viktor Bot build on patch 26.21 runs Deathfire Touch with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch, plus Bone Plating and Shield Bash from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Teleport. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Blackfire Torch, Sorcerer's Shoes and Lich Bane, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff and Banshee's Veil. Max E (Hextech Ray) first, then Q (Siphon Power), then W (Gravity Field). It has a 49.8% win rate and a 1.6% pick rate.
