Transformed into the Machine Herald, Viktor’s face is split in two to make room for the geometrical ”mask” in the middle of his face. The eyes on the mask are glowing orange, and the tips of the mask are gold; along with multiple other gold accents across his body such as the ones on his wrists, shoulders, back, and feet. In this form he is much taller and lankier, with his torso being somewhat separated from his legs at the hips with large indents in between the two parts. Viktor has a third arm coming out from his back with a three fingered “claw” at the end. Each of the fingers is tipped in gold with the middle of the claw being a purple glowing circle. This claw is used for arcane magic. Viktor’s cane is now completely transformed into a staff, with the top of the staff being used to hold the wild rune. His cloak is also tied around his neck, with the cloth underside being red. Viktor goes to Zaun where he sees all of the suffering of its citizens. There, he sees a vision of Sky leading him throughout the streets. Some Shimmer addicts follow him. When Viktor arrives at his destination, the Shimmer addicts threaten him, however Viktor places his hand on Huck's forehead in a flash of purple light, and apparently cures him. Viktor begins to heal any people with the help of Sky's vision, and steadily builds a commune full of the cured people. Later, Viktor uses Salo's body, one of which he cured from a Shimmer addiction and paralyzation, to go to the Hexgates and take some of the modules in the heart of the structure. Viktor meets with Vi, her sister and Vander to try and cure the latter. He uses his powers to explore Vander's mind with Sky, where he eventually uncovers the man's memories. Singed shows up to the commune, where the two talk about Vander's state and body. Later, Jayce kills Viktor with a blast from his transformed Mercury Hammer. Stuck in another cocoon, Viktor relies on the blood Singed gives him to live. He talks with Ambessa Medarda, and agrees to transform any soldier she gives him in return for her help escorting him to the Hexgates. He uses one of his followers—who has now been transformed into mechanical dolls—to enter the council building, where he attempts to persuade Jayce into becoming partners once again. Jayce rejects him, and Viktor begins to fight him. Then, he allows Singed to transform him and his followers. Viktor begins to transform into the Machine Herald. His body elongates and transforms unnaturally, he grows a "third arm" on his back with three claws, and his face splits in two with a mask growing in the middle. He transforms the rest of his followers, along with Vander, causing him to lose all the remains of his humanity and memories, completely turning into Warwick. He travels and arrives with the Noxian army to Piltover, where he is transported in the cocoon. He leaves the cocoon sometime in the battle, and meets Jayce in the heart of the Hexgates. He uses a spell with his third arm to place all of the compartments of the heart back, and begins to fight Jayce as he travels to the top of the tower. Once there, he brings Jayce to the Hexspace along with everyone else in the battlefield. Viktor begins the process of his Glorious Evolution. Ekko comes up on his hoverboard, and uses a wild rune on Viktor. Jayce, freed from the mind control, begins to tell Viktor about how all he wanted was his partner back. Viktor shrinks down in the Hexspace, and the two hug. Viktor sees the barren future Jayce had been sent to and what would come from his actions, along with seeing his alternate self give Jayce the rune that had started it all. Viktor tells Jayce to leave, but Jayce joins Viktor in destroying the rune.
