Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke, as Viktor's Q shield doesn't fully negate your Q-W combo damage.
- Post-6 becomes skill-dependent as Viktor's R zone control can match your cage zoning, but your burst potential with R remains higher if you land E.
How to Trade
- Trade with Q poke when Viktor uses Q on minions, then follow up with W-Q if he steps forward for CS.
- Avoid extended trades near his W gravity field and respect his Q shield timing when going for all-ins.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to stack Q and prevent Viktor from freely farming Hex Fragments, but transition to freezing once he gets his first augment.
- Your superior waveclear with Q lets you control the wave state better than his early E.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in Viktor's W gravity field when going for aggressive E placements, as the stun setup makes you vulnerable to his full combo.
- Avoid trading when he has Q shield up and you're low on mana, as his sustained damage will win extended fights.
