the biggest victim/the main victim


Explanation:
Both are correct, but the biggest victim is more widely used. Besides, it is closer to the original.

Example sentence(s):
  • 'Frozen' musical is biggest victim of Broadway shutdown.
  • Is the doctor-patient relationship the biggest victim of Covid-19?
