Viktor vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage wave control and avoid giving Aurora easy all-in windows.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Aurora from safely farming and finding picks, leveraging Viktor's superior poke and zone control.
This is a scale-vs-scale matchup where Viktor aims to outscale Aurora through item upgrades and teamfight presence.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily with (E) poke and (Q) shield, keeping (W) ready to disengage from Aurora's burst combos.
Punish Aurora's long (E) animation by stepping forward to trade when she misses it.
Avoid placing (W) poorly, as it is delayed and can leave you vulnerable to Aurora's mobility and burst.

Danger windows

Respect Aurora's level 6 (R) for burst and mobility, which can enable lethal all-ins.
Be cautious when (W) is down, as you lose your main disengage and are vulnerable to Aurora's engage.
Watch for Aurora's post-(W) cooldown window where she lacks quick escape and can be punished.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to safely farm and poke with (E) while shielding with (Q) to mitigate Aurora's burst attempts.
Avoid extended trades early; focus on spacing and wave control to deny Aurora easy engages.
Track (W) cooldown to punish when her escape tool is down.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for verified all-ins or defensive resets; respect (R) window and hold key defensive tools.
After first completed mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure on waves and trades, as your damage and control improve.
Use level 3 power spike to enhance poke and field control but avoid forcing kills; focus on spacing.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving all abilities to control space and teamfights.
Use superior poke and zone control to deny Aurora safe farming and force mistakes.
Leverage (R) and item spikes to pressure and pick off Aurora when her mobility or escape tools are on cooldown.
