Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Viktor's superior range and your energy-gated trading, making it difficult to contest CS without taking significant damage.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R gap-close, but must respect his W stun field and burst potential if you misplay the engage.
How to Trade
- Use Q to farm safely and proc passive when possible, then look for W engage opportunities when his abilities are on cooldown or he's positioned poorly.
- Your best windows are when he uses E for wave clear or steps too far forward for CS.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and avoiding unnecessary trades early, using Q to last-hit from range when possible.
- After 6, look for roam opportunities or jungle skirmishes where your mobility and burst can be more effective than laning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't commit to extended trades early game as you'll lose to his sustained damage and shield, and avoid engaging when his W is available as getting stunned means certain death.
- Never use W defensively in lane as it's your primary engage tool and has a long cooldown.
