Viktor vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage wave control and avoid giving Yone easy all-in windows.
Prioritize farming safely and maintaining medium lane pressure to prevent Yone from snowballing through trades.

Trading pattern

Trade using (E) poke combined with (Q) shield to mitigate damage and avoid prolonged fights.
Keep (W) ready for disengage and punish Yone if he mispositions or uses (E) poorly.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or when Yone has his (Q) knockup ready, as these are dangerous windows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is available for engage and snapback; avoid extended trades during this cooldown.
Respect (Q) third cast knockup and (R) displacement as lethal all-in threats.
Avoid placing (W) poorly, as it leaves you vulnerable to Yone's high mobility and burst damage.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to safely poke with (E) and shield with (Q) while avoiding extended trades before your major spikes.
Avoid committing your (W) early to prevent being punished by Yone's high mobility and engage potential.
Focus on farming and controlling the wave to deny Yone clean setups for his (E)+(Q) combo.

Power spikes

Respect Yone's level 3 spike when he unlocks his (E) combo; avoid giving him free trades.
Use your level 6 (R) ultimate window to force picks, defensive resets, or roams.
After completing your first mage item and evolving abilities, increase lane pressure and punish Yone's mistakes more confidently.

Win conditions

Scale safely through farming and wave control to reach your item and evolution power spikes.
Use (R) to control teamfights and zone Yone out of fights, leveraging your superior zone control.
Punish Yone's cooldown misuse, especially when (E) is down, to secure short trades and deny his snowball potential.
