Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid a long close fight inside Aura of Suffering, whose damage increases while Victor channels it. Taking damage charges Pain Battery, so keep cover within reach. Save Disengaging Sigil to get back out after Flawless Advance. Use Riposte against an incoming hero attack; trooper fire will not trigger it.

Mid game · Walkers

Attack an exposed enemy damage dealer if focusing Victor would leave that opponent free to shoot. If your team attacks Victor, stay outside Aura of Suffering and use healing reduction against Jumpstart. Face the enemy and use Disengaging Sigil to leap back toward cover before you are disabled.

Late game · Patron

When Victor takes lethal damage and Shocking Reanimation starts, move out of its explosion area. Keep your distance until he reanimates. After he reanimates, attack together with healing reduction if your team can finish him. Reach Victor with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.
