Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Viktor

    Siphon Power (Q) and Hextech Ray (E) can now crit, giving your damage combo big burst spikes against squishy targets.

  2. Eureka

    Prismatic

    Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.

    Why on Viktor

    As a full AP mage you turn your Ability Power into haste, so you cast Hextech Ray (E) and Gravity Field (W) more often each fight.

  3. Phenomenal Evil

    Gold

    Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.

    Why on Viktor

    Siphon Power (Q) and Hextech Ray (E) let you hit enemies with Abilities often, and every hit permanently adds Ability Power that carries into later rounds.
