Overview

Prioritize stable waves to farm safely toward your first mage DPS item and level 6.
Use soldier placement to zone Viktor and punish his poor (W) positioning.
Maintain medium lane pressure to restrict Viktor's space and scaling comfort.

Trading pattern

Danger windows

Punish Viktor when his (W) is on cooldown or poorly placed to reduce his zone control threat.

Early game

Focus on farming with soldiers to reach your first item before committing to extended trades.
Avoid using (E) aggressively early to keep your main escape ready against Viktor's poke.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R) for defensive plays and all-in deterrence; track its cooldown closely.
Your first completed mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage, enabling stronger trades.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and item evolution spikes that enhance his poke and zone control.

Win conditions

Control space with soldiers and (R) to force Viktor into unfavorable fights or disengages.
