How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his stun

Gravity Field (W) is Viktor's only hard CC, and eating it is the one thing that lets him win a trade on you.

Level 3 spike

At level 3 your trades go hard — commit and extend the fight, where your sustained spell spam grinds him down.

Respect levels 1-2

Avoid trading at levels 1 and 2 — you have no kill pressure yet, so just farm safely until your level 3 spike.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade while you're caught in his stun — Gravity Field is the one thing that flips the lane against you, so respect it every time.
