Learn how to Viktor counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Bait out Viktor's W (Gravity Field) before engaging for an all-in — this is his only form of CC and has a long cooldown (17-13s), leaving him vulnerable once it's down.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position outside of the minion wave once Viktor augments his E (Hextech Ray) — this prevents him from simultaneously pushing the wave and poking you with the same ability.
Basic Lane Phase
Force quick engagements rather than extended standoffs — Viktor excels at poking with his E before committing to fights, so direct engages deny his preferred playstyle.
Team Fight Skirmish
Prioritize early aggression before Viktor gets his first Hex Core upgrade — he plays defensively in early game while trying to farm for his upgrades, making him vulnerable to pressure.
Lane Phase
Flank Viktor from multiple angles in teamfights — his abilities work best against grouped enemies in front of him, making him vulnerable to attacks from different directions.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Move sideways when Viktor casts his E (Hextech Ray) — the laser travels in a straight line with limited width, making perpendicular movement the most effective way to dodge it.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Look for trades when Viktor's Q (Siphon Power) is on cooldown — without his shield and movement speed boost (when augmented), he's significantly more vulnerable to damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When caught in Viktor's W (Gravity Field), move continuously to avoid the stun — it applies a stack every 0.25 seconds and stuns at 5 stacks (1.25 seconds total), so constant movement can help you escape before being stunned.
Team Fight Skirmish
Avoid fighting Viktor around objectives or in choke points — his E (Hextech Ray) and R (Arcane Storm) excel in confined spaces where they can hit multiple targets efficiently.
