Overview

Control mid-range space to force Viktor into extended trades where you can repeatedly cast (E).
Deny Viktor's calm scaling by punishing his immobility and bad (W) placements.
Focus on sustained fights over short poke exchanges to leverage your repeated damage.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to poison, then chain (E) while holding (W) to trap Viktor.

First mana/AP item boosts your sustain and damage in extended fights; pressure more confidently.
