Viktor Tips and Tricks

Delay a team fight for as long as possible while you harass and poke the enemy down with your abilities. During the laning phase, try to aim your abilities so they hit both the minion wave and the enemy laner. Focus on playing safe in the early game, and then take advantage of the extra strength your upgrades provide to gain a gold advantage.
