Neeko vs Viktor

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko has high lane pressure and should use E angles through minions to threaten Viktor's immobile positioning.
Deny Viktor safe scaling by forcing him to play behind minions and punishing his cooldowns with disguise and burst.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions and immediately follow with Q to burst Viktor before he can react.
Respect Viktor W zone control and avoid standing in it to prevent being stunned or slowed.
Punish Viktor when Viktor W is down or poorly placed by engaging with R or all-in combos.

Danger windows

Viktor's Viktor W can stun after a delay; avoid clustering near minions to reduce root risk.
When Viktor's Viktor R is active, respect his AoE damage and avoid grouping tightly.
Neeko is vulnerable if E misses or R is down; avoid forced trades during these cooldowns.

Early game

Use E through minions early to root Viktor and follow up with Q burst before he can shield with Viktor Q.
Avoid extended trades if E misses, as Viktor can punish with Viktor E poke and Viktor W zone control.
Use W clone and passive disguise to create uncertainty and bait Viktor's Viktor W placement.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in and teamfight threat to punish Viktor's immobility.
Neeko's first completed AP burst item increases kill threat and poke damage.
Viktor's level 6 R and item evolutions increase his zone control and damage, so respect these spikes and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Use disguise and minion line positioning to land E roots and burst Viktor before he can shield or disengage.
Punish Viktor's immobility and reliance on Viktor W by forcing him out of position or baiting his zone control.
Turn level 6 R into picks or force Viktor to respect your all-in threat, denying him safe scaling and lane control.
