Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to shorter range and mana costs, but Vladimir has no resource constraints for sustained trading.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R, especially if you've maintained reasonable health through Q sustain.
How to Trade
- Use Q for sustain and short trades, then look for E-W combos when Viktor mispositions or wastes abilities on wave.
- Pool to avoid his W stun stacks or disengage from unfavorable extended trades.
Wave Control
- Accept early CS deficits and focus on sustaining through Q while avoiding excessive poke.
- Look to freeze near your tower where Viktor becomes more vulnerable to ganks and all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste pool on Viktor's initial poke rotation, as this leaves you vulnerable to his follow-up damage and potential jungle pressure.
- Save pool for avoiding critical damage or escaping after committing to trades.
