Lore[edit | edit source]
As the ranking scholar and preeminent authority on runic lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald is one of the architects of the wave of crystal-powered technology sweeping across the Realm.
Though he would much rather have his nose buried in a dusty old history tome or reach into a swirling vortex of magical energy using his enhanced stone gauntlet, he understands that the Magistrate is the driving force behind all his research and has joined their effort to put down the Resistance. Once the war is over, he can once more get back to work.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Torvald is a supportive Front Line Champion whose primary contribution to battle is shielding for himself and allies as well as crowd control against critical enemies. Unlike other Front Liners, Torvald's shielding is consistently present and must be destroyed in order to damage his hit points. His primary weapon shoots low damage energy blasts from his gauntlet that have significant damage falloff, limiting his effective combat range. His CC ability, Nullify, damages an enemy and prevents them from using their abilities besides their primary attack for a duration of time, leaving them susceptible to his teammates. In times of danger, Torvald can throw a temporary shield onto an ally using Protection, provided he has line of sight of the ally and that they are within range. Torvald is also able to recharge his own shield, allowing him to survive for extended periods of time on the point or in battle. Torvald's Ultimate, Hyper Beam, significantly slows him down at the cost of using the full might of his gauntlet. His gauntlet will shoot out a large beam of energy, dealing 1150 damage over its duration and knocking back any enemies in its path. This Ultimate can be aimed throughout its duration, pushing enemies off the point or into environmental hazards.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, it was discovered that Torvald would be around 6'1 or 186cm tall.
- Torvald can be seen in the background of the A Realm Divided lore video.
- The line "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference... wait, where am I again?" (▶️) is a reference to a line said by the G-Man from Half-Life 2.
- The lines "Where we're going, we don't need horses." (▶️) and "Where we're going, we don't need cards! Actually, uh, hold onto this one." (▶️) reference a line from Back To The Future.
- The line "Power overwhelming!" (▶️) may be a reference to a line from StarCraft II.
- In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Torvald, these recolors included the Cartography and Historian skins.
Arcanist
- An arcanist is a person who has knowledge of a secret process of manufacture.
Grave-Robber's Spoils
- This is the only skin to change just Torvald's backpack.
Clockwork
Dark Lord
- This skin is heavily based on Darth Vader from Star Wars.
- The line "You thought you would get first blood, but it was me, Torvald!" (▶️) references a line spoken by Dio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
- The line "I'm not misunderstood; I'm just evil." (▶️) references the trope not evil, just misunderstood, where villains are revealed to have logical reasons for acting in villainous manners.
- The line "Fight for me. I won't pay you, but it's good exposure." (▶️) references the common practice of hiring artists, but refusing to pay them, instead using the excuse of the project being exposure for future opportunities that will hopefully pay.
- This skin shares its theme with Dune Crawler Cassie, Galactic Scion Lian, Mercenary Strix, and Ebon Star Zhin.
Berserker
- As of the Calamity update, this skin currently holds the record for the longest amount of time between unique skin releases for a specific champion, with the previous unique skin being released over 3 years previously.
- The lines "Barely a scratch!" (▶️) and "Merely a flesh wound!" (▶️) may be references to a scene from Monty Python & the Holy Grail.
- The line "By the power of the runes, I HAVE THE POWER!" (▶️) is a reference to a scene from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
- The line "Oh, oh, they're approaching us?" (▶️) is a reference to meme from Jojo's Bizaare Adventure.
