Zoe vs Viktor

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a high-agency poke mage who must pressure Viktor early to deny his scaling and item progression.
Use your superior lane pressure to prevent Viktor from safely farming and evolving his abilities.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E to set up your Q burst, using R to reposition and maximize range.
Respect Viktor's Viktor W zone control and avoid standing in it to prevent being stunned or slowed.
Punish Viktor when his W is poorly placed or on cooldown by stepping forward aggressively.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your E is missed or on cooldown, as you become vulnerable to Viktor's poke and shield.
Respect Viktor's W placement timing to avoid getting stunned or slowed in trades.
Avoid using R at bad timings that leave you exposed to Viktor's burst or crowd control.

Early game

Use E to fish for sleep setups and follow up with Q and R for extended poke before Viktor can respond.
Avoid extended trades if you miss E, as Viktor's Q shield and poke can punish you.
Keep Viktor pressured to delay his item and evolution spikes.

Power spikes

Your major spikes are level 6 with R for extended poke angles and your first completed AP burst item.
Respect Viktor's level 6 Viktor R and his item evolution progress, which increase his zone control and damage.
Avoid all-in trades when Viktor has evolved his E or Q shield active.

Win conditions

Win by landing E sleeps and following up with extended Q poke using R to pressure Viktor out of lane.
Deny Viktor safe farming and evolution by maintaining lane pressure and punishing his W cooldown.
Use your mobility and pick potential to snowball leads and roam if Viktor becomes passive.

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