Viktor vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who wants to farm safely and use his poke and zone control to deny Anivia a passive lane.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Anivia from freely using her waveclear and zoning tools.

Trading pattern

Trade short with E and Q for poke and shield, avoiding prolonged fights where Anivia's R slows and damages.
Punish Anivia when she misses Q by stepping forward with E and Q trades.
Keep W for disengage or to interrupt Anivia's movement around her W terrain block.

Danger windows

Vulnerable when W is down since it is your main disengage tool against Anivia's Q stun and R slow.
Avoid trading when Anivia's Q is up and positioned to land a stun combo.
Be cautious of Anivia's R zone control after level 6 as it can force unfavorable positioning.

Early game

Use E to poke and farm while keeping W ready to disengage from Anivia's Q stun attempts.
Avoid extended trades early as Viktor has low early agency and Anivia's Q and R can punish poorly timed engages.
Focus on farming and positioning to reach level 6 and item upgrades safely.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for strong area damage and control.
Major spikes: First completed mage item and ability evolutions significantly increase Viktor's damage and survivability.
Respect Anivia's level 6 Anivia R which zones and slows, making sieges difficult.

Win conditions

Scale through safe farming and item evolution to outzone Anivia in mid and late game teamfights.
Use evolved E and R to control space and punish Anivia when she overextends or misses key abilities.
Deny Anivia's waveclear and zoning by applying poke pressure and forcing cooldowns early.

Tip: For Viktor vs Anivia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
