Corki vs Viktor

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable waves to secure CS and avoid giving Viktor free scaling space.
Use (Q) and autos for short poke trades, saving (W) for escape against Viktor's zone control.
Post-6, leverage (R) rockets to pressure Viktor's positioning and force recalls.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and autos for quick poke, preserving (W) to dodge Viktor's delayed (W) stun.
After level 6, rely on (R) for repeated poke to soften Viktor before committing.
Punish Viktor if he misplaces (W) or wastes abilities on wave clear by stepping forward with (Q) and (R).

Danger windows

Avoid fights when (W) is down, as you lose your main escape versus Viktor's zone control.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and evolved abilities that increase his poke and zoning threat.
Be cautious if Viktor combos (E) poke with (Q) shield or places (W) effectively for crowd control.

Early game

Focus on safe CS and short (Q) poke trades before level 6 to avoid (W) zone control.
Avoid extended fights early since Viktor punishes misuse of (W) or aggressive trades.
Use autos and (Q) to chip Viktor while preserving (W) for repositioning and escape.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) rockets, shifting trades to repeated poke; track (R) availability closely.
First completed damage item boosts poke power; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Mid-game item spikes further increase poke threat; force Viktor to respect your damage.

Win conditions

Farm safely into item spikes, then use (R) rockets to control Viktor's movement and force recalls.
Aggressively trade with (Q) and (R) when (W) is on cooldown or poorly placed.
Use (W) mobility to kite Viktor's zone control, denying him calm scaling and controlling mid-game fights.
