Standing at 14 meters tall,<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', Ch. 37</ref> the ''Victor'' approaches the concept of support in an unorthodox way for a 'Mech of its weight class. While only possessing a ground speed of 64.8 km/h, the ''Victor'' achieves a high degree of mobility instead through the use of four jump jets, allowing it to jump up to one hundred and twenty meters. A ''Victor'' can therefore "support" friendly units by jumping directly into the fray and bringing its deadly close range arsenal to bear, an ability which can surprise inexperienced [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] and prove advantageous in mountainous terrain.
