Viktor vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who needs to farm and evolve abilities to control fights against Azir.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Azir from having a completely passive farming lane and deny him stable soldier zones.

Trading pattern

Trade with E and Q shield while keeping W ready to disengage from Azir's soldier poke and Azir R displacement.
Punish Azir if he uses Azir E aggressively without a safe exit by stepping forward with E poke.
Avoid trading when Azir's soldiers are well positioned and Azir R is up, as his zone control and displacement can punish you.

Danger windows

Vulnerable when W is down or placed poorly, as you lose your main disengage and crowd control.
Azir is dangerous when soldiers are positioned between you and him, especially with Azir R available to isolate or displace.
Avoid extended fights before your item spikes when Azir's soldier DPS and mobility are more threatening.

Early game

Use E to poke Azir and farm safely while respecting Azir's soldier placement and Azir R availability.
Avoid committing W early as its delay can leave you vulnerable to Azir's poke or all-in attempts.
Prioritize farming and avoid extended trades before level 6 to minimize risk against Azir's mobility and soldier DPS.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R and first completed mage item with ability evolutions.
Respect Azir's major spike at level 6 with Azir R and his first completed mage DPS item.
Minor spike at level 3 improves your poke and zone control but is less impactful than your major spikes.

Win conditions

Scale safely through early game to evolve your abilities and complete your core item for stronger poke and zone control.
Use W to control choke points and punish Azir when his Azir E or Azir R are on cooldown.
Deny Azir stable soldier zones by applying pressure with E poke and forcing him to reposition, disrupting his DPS output.
