Vayne vs Viktor

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your high early agency and ranged pressure to control the wave and deny Viktor safe scaling farm.
Focus on spacing and kiting to avoid Viktor's delayed (W) zone control and poke from (E).
This is a scaling marksman versus control mage matchup; prioritize surviving early and reaching your two-item spike for side-lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range and using (Q) to maintain spacing and avoid (E) poke.
Hold (E) to punish Viktor's engage attempts or to stun him against terrain for all-ins.
Punish Viktor when he misplaces (W) or uses abilities solely for wave clear by stepping forward aggressively.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up as it zones and stuns after a delay, limiting your movement.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to jungle ganks exploiting your low waveclear.
Respect the window after you use (E) as your engage threat is down and Viktor can retaliate more safely.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to avoid overextending and becoming vulnerable to ganks or (W).
Use (Q) to reposition and poke safely without pushing too hard.
Avoid fighting near walls unless you can secure a (E) stun to punish Viktor's immobility.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth tumbles to outplay Viktor's ultimate and reposition safely in duels.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes to exploit your true damage and kite Viktor's immobility.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and first completed mage item spikes by avoiding extended trades and all-ins during these windows.

Win conditions

Deny Viktor safe scaling by controlling the wave and punishing his ability cooldowns, especially (W).
Reach your two-item power spike to pressure side lanes and duel Viktor in open space.
Use (R) stealth repositioning and (E) wall stuns to win isolated fights and outplay Viktor's immobility and delayed crowd control.
