Viktor vs Neeko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage Neeko's high lane pressure and disguise-based engage threat.
Focus on medium lane pressure to deny Neeko easy E angles and prevent her from setting up picks with disguise.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with E and shielding with Q, keeping W to interrupt or slow Neeko's engage.
Punish Neeko when she misses E by stepping forward with E poke and Q shield.
Avoid using W aggressively on wave clear to prevent being vulnerable to Neeko's burst or all-in.

Danger windows

Neeko's E through minions and R all-in windows are dangerous; keep W ready to slow or disengage.
Viktor is vulnerable when W is down or placed poorly; avoid overcommitting during these times.
Be cautious of Neeko's disguise and clone misdirection to avoid surprise roots or burst combos.

Early game

Use E to poke safely and farm, avoiding extended trades before level 6 when Neeko's all-in is weaker.
Keep W ready for disengage to counter Neeko's root and burst attempts.
Respect Neeko's medium early agency by not overextending without W shield and zone control.

Power spikes

Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R, first completed mage item, and ability evolutions.
Respect Neeko's level 6 R spike that enables strong all-in and teamfight presence.
Viktor's level 3 improves poke and field control, helping to contest Neeko's early pressure.

Win conditions

Scale into mid-late game with evolved abilities and item upgrades to control space and teamfights.
Use W to zone and punish Neeko's engage attempts, denying her picks.
Capitalize on missed Neeko E roots to trade aggressively and force her back under tower.

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