Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Viktor's superior range and consistent poke, but can win short burst trades if you land W root into fourth shot.
- Post-6 becomes even harder as Viktor's R zone control severely limits your positioning options and kiting potential.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W root setup into Q-auto-fourth shot burst, then immediately back off before Viktor can respond with full combo.
- Only take these trades when you have minion advantage to block his abilities or when his Q shield is on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing waves near your tower where Viktor must overextend to poke you, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks.
- Use Q to last hit and bounce damage onto Viktor when he steps up, but avoid pushing as you lack escape tools.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Viktor's wave clear or poke wars, as you'll run out of mana and health first.
- Avoid fighting in open areas post-6 where his R can zone you effectively, and never engage without landing W root first as you lack the mobility to stick to him.
