Viktor Rework: What League of Legends Players Need to Know
League of Legends machine Herald will receive a major visual upgrade. The Viktor rework brings the most important changes to one of the game's most iconic mid-lane mages that revolutionizes his abilities and playstyle.
The Viktor rework in League of Legends does more than adjust numbers. Players will see fundamental changes to his ultimate mechanic. These updates will change mostly Viktor's visuals, audio, and backstory.
Understanding Viktor's New Ultimate Mechanics
The lifeblood of Viktor's rework is his reimagined ultimate ability, Chaos Storm, which now evolves throughout the game. Your late-game potential becomes more formidable than ever before with this change.
Growth mechanics and kill scaling
Your ultimate power scales directly with your progression through the Hex Fragment system. You need to collect 100 Hex Fragments to upgrade your basic abilities first. These fragments come from:
- 1 Fragment from regular minion kills
- 5 Fragments from cannon minions
- 25 Fragments from champion takedowns
The ultimate receives its enhancement after you upgrade all basic abilities, and it becomes a true force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
Area of effect changes
The Chaos Storm delivers an immediate 100/175/250 (+50% AP) magic damage burst and follows up with 65/105/145 (+45% AP) magic damage per second to enemies within its radius. The storm's improved tracking system makes it truly powerful - it automatically follows champions it has damaged recently, which creates constant pressure in team fights.
It's hard to say if the mechanics and the scaling of his Ultimate ability will be changed but we believe based on all the information given so far, it won't be changed.

Conclusion
Viktor's rework changes him from a specialized mage into a versatile powerhouse. The machine herald's success now depends on your grasp of the Hex Fragment system and your understanding of his improved abilities' strategic depth.
Your mastery of Viktor's new kit rewards both farming excellence and aggressive plays. Each match offers unique chances to adapt your build path and play style. Viktor proves to be a strong pick in different team compositions. Your improved ultimate and augmented abilities create unmatched zone control that turns steam fights into carefully coordinated displays of mechanical prowess.
Patience is crucial in the early game. Focus on perfect CS timing while scaling into your power spikes. Mobile assassins might challenge you early, but your superior scaling and team fight presence will shine as you collect Hex Fragments and tap into your full potential.
