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. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.
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. Keep Return to Shadows available to get back toward your team instead of spending it to extend an unsupported chase.
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. Use Leaping Slash on Victor once you can reach him safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
