Torvald ▶️ is a Front Line Champion in Paladins, added on January 25th, 2017.

Lore[ | ]

This is Torvald's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.


As the ranking scholar and preeminent authority on runic innovations and lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald is the forefather of runic magic and 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 joined their effort to put down the Resistance. He longs for the day the fighting will end, and he can finally get back to his research.

This is an unofficial version of Torvald's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.


The ranking scholar and leading Magistrate expert of runic lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald has his hands in many different fields, from the initial wave of crystal-powered technology, ancient Ska'drin runes, and advanced prosthetic limbs.

Though he would much rather be buried in an old history tome or stick his hand into a magical vortex, Torvald joins the Magistrate's effort to put down the Resistance, as he understands the Magistrate is the driving force behind his research. He hopes to get back to work as soon as the Crystal War is over.

This was Torvald's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

Once the war is over, he can once more get back to work.

Summary[ | ]

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[ | ]


Lore

  • Torvald is the leading Magistrate expert on ancient Ska'drin runes and technology.[2]
  • Torvald never worked with the ska'drin themselves; he was mostly just interested in reverse engineering their technology for the sake of science, technology, and to try and learn how to use it. Despite this, he's not intentionally evil or selfish about it.[3]
  • It was from Torvald's research that Talus learned a lot about the history and magic of the Ska'drin during his time at Deepwerks.[4] Though this was less of Torvald teaching Talus and more of Talus stealing his research.[3]
  • Torvald is an incredibly old elf, around Valera's age and implied to be even older based on his elderly appearance.[3]
  • Torvald is the one who created Octavia's leg.[5]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Torvald would be around 6'2 or 188cm tall.


Cameos

Torvald appears in the following content:


References

  • 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.


Concepts

  • Early design explorations originally envisioned Torvald with a completely different design, aiming more towards a thinner mad scientist type of look.[6]
  • In the blog post regarding the removal of the 'Parts and Pieces' skin system, various concepts were shown off to showcase what new types of skins could be created with the new system. Among these concepts was a Torvald skin, seemingly themed after the Abyss, though the style does also bear resemblance to the Darkness as well.
  • A visual update to Torvald's design was shown to the community at one point, but the concept was ultimately shelved.[7][8]


Other

  • 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.


Champion Skins

  • Torvald Collection Render Arcanist Icon Arcanist
    • An arcanist is a person who has knowledge of a secret process of manufacture.


  • Torvald Collection Render Grave-Robber's Spoils Icon Grave-Robber's Spoils
    • This is the only skin to change just Torvald's backpack.


  • Torvald Collection Render Clockwork Icon Clockwork
    • This skin was intended to be teased with a unique piece of artwork, but it ultimately didn't end up happening.[9]
    • The line "It's working, by Jove, it's working!" (▶️) references the Roman God of the Sky and Thunder Jupiter, who was also known as Jove.
    • The line "That'll do there, that'll do." (▶️) may be a reference to a line from the movie Babe.
    • This skin's splash art appears as a spray.
