Viktor Tips and Tricks

Hold off on engaging in a team fight for as long as possible while chipping away at the enemy with your E. During the laning phase, use your E to hit both the minion wave and the opposing champion to maximize damage and wave control. Viktor is weaker early on, so focus on farming and gaining items. Once you secure your first upgrade, you can start playing more aggressively and look for trades.
