Really nice guide, but can you add and in Threats please? I really, Really, REALLY hate lanning against them becasue they are so mobile frustrating to face them especially since he has infinite dashes with his E and people really hate playing against him and I 95% ban him. Once again, Very nice guide and keep up good work. (Please add what should I use summoner spells against and and Items)

Hey do you still advice to go for lich bane second in your standard build after the nerf? Been seeing a lot of Serapsh Embrace recently. When would you go for either one of those? And in the matchup against melee ad assasins(zed, yasuo, etc.) what would you usually recommend building third after zhonyas second?

Yes lich bane is still great on viktor. The synergy with allows you to abuse that passive every few seconds. Archangel's is good when fully stacked but until that it's a joke item that delays your scaling even more. Viktor is already useless in the early game with no prio in lane + he needs time to scale up. His slow scaling is why he's not being played right now, and if you delay that scaling even more, then you have to rely on your team not speed running it, and that doesn't really work in soloq. You can use it but you will have less impact in the early-mid game

heyy can anyone please help me sometimes i back with viktor and after having boots and buying lost chapter i have 500 gold and idk what to buy is worth getting a dark sheel or a tear and just hang it i am playing with the phase rush runes if anyone know please respond it will help me a lot

(27) |

Yes you can do that. Tear is fine if you're going for the super late game.. but it's going to delay your power spikes, so don't build it in games where your team is getting stomped. Dark seal is always fine to buy if you have to recall early, and don't have anything better to buy. If you snowball, you can always upgrade it to mejai's and one shot people, otherwise you just sell dark seal later on.

this is a really good viktor guide but i have a question.do you have any tips to help people hit viktors laser easily since it is such a wierd skillshot?

(27) |

It comes with experience. You could try out the practice tool with 0 second CD on E to really get the hang of it

ok thank you very much for telling me

This guide is very intriguing, and it is made by Yeager so it is trustable :) <3 Lovee this guide !

Very helpful guide!. But a few things I would like to be changed. The gameplay needs to be updated to fix the current patch/ season. (It is outdated). Another thing is a more obvious Augment order. Finally, the electrocute build needs to be updated to the season 11 items. Please consider some of these recommendations!

What dou you think of Cosimc Drive, I think it's a very underrated Item and can help Kite some champions?

(27) |

It's decent. If you really want it, I can recommend getting it as 4th item or later if you don't need a defensive item.

What's your opinion on night harvester? Obviously you'd be lacking in mana, but could you go seraphs into night harvester maybe?

(27) |

I wouldn't recommend it. It's designed for the assassin class who wants to snowball early, and don't rely on mana items (Akali, Diana, Katarina, Evelynn etc). Viktor isn't an early game snowballing champion, and even if you build you will still be losing out on component for the laning phase and 600 mana. The passive cooldown on (40sec) is also really high compared to (10sec) so you really don't get that much value from it. Once you get your mythic item + and you start oneshot people anyway

Cool, thanks for the great guide!

cool thanks

Great guide overall! I do have three minor gripes. Firstly, the klepto Viktor thing should be removed, since, now that Kleptomancy is gone, it wont be possible.

Secondly, I'm not super experienced, but you say Heal is the standard summoner on most mages, why is that? I've never run heal on Viktor ever.

Thirdly, Is splitpush Viktor with Teleport viable in any matchups? If so, which ones?

(27) |

Fixed, ty! is good if you are planning to skirmish a lot with your jungler but otherwise i would go for either for safe scaling, for a more aggressive laning phase or for survivability and much better teamfighting.

can splitpush in the sidelane yes but you mostly want to be grouped with your team because he's a 5v5 champion with insane teamfighting and waveclear. Whether you splitpush or not heavily depends on the state of the game and both teamcomps. If you have then you should be looking to farm in the sidelanes yes.

Thanks! And one more thing, would you say Viktor is team reliant, or do you think with enough skill he can 1v9 most games?

A bit of both. Team reliant because:
1. He needs time to scale, so you rely on your team not running it down in the early game.
2. He's a late game monster but he's not with less than 1 second CD on mini , so you still have to stick to your team to not get caught out.

So he's team reliant early game and a 1v9 machine late game.

Ah I see. I've been playing him for a while and have been feeling this strongly. Thanks for all the time chatting overall, learnt some great stuff! Wish you the best on future guide endeavors!

I was just wondering, a few days ago i was trying some runes for viktor and tried Approach Velocity in the inspiration rune, since at max hex core all basic skills applies slow, and i found it quite nice! also, i really could use another opinion, what you think of that rune? i was going with Aery/Phase Rush ( i use Aery to bully melee champions), Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch in primary tree, secondary i was with Future Market and Approach Velocity
Amazing guide btw!!

(27) |

Yes that works, the secondary page can be swapped for any tree so you are pretty much free to use whatever you want. I have never tried approach velocity but it sounds decent. Personally i think phase rush is op, so i'm using it in every single game on viktor.
