Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Viktor's range advantage and Q shield absorbing your damage.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R gap closer, but Viktor's W can still deny all-ins if he positions correctly.
How to Trade
- Look for Q-W trades when Viktor uses abilities on minions, as his Q shield has meaningful cooldown early.
- After 6, use R to gap close then immediately W for shield and orb damage, saving Q for when he tries to escape.
Wave Control
- Accept some CS deficit early while avoiding excessive poke, focusing on hitting level 6 with healthy HP for kill attempts.
- Push waves after successful trades to create roam opportunities, as Viktor struggles to match your mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't R engage when Viktor has W available and you're in the center of his minion wave, as the stun will cancel your combo.
- Avoid extended trades without your passive shield up, as Viktor's sustained damage output exceeds yours in longer exchanges.
