Viktor Counters

The best picks outside of lane to counter Viktor include Xayah, Kai'Sa, and Kalista. These champs are all great at countering Viktor with win rates over 55%. Even if these Viktor counter picks are not picked in the same position as you, it's not a good idea to take him into these matchups. They will usually crush Viktor.

Conversely, if the other team brings either Seraphine or Teemo, Viktor mains should strongly think about choosing him, as he easily destroys these champions with win rates over 54% against both ofthem.

Take advantage of Viktor's early-game weaknesses. He's known to play safe in these stages as his damage output relies heavily on upgrading his Passive Core. By applying pressure and forcing him out of the lane, you can get a significant advantage.

Viktor's W is his only form of defense. Once he's used this ability, he's vulnerable to ganks and can easily be flanked during team fights. Use this window to hit him hard.

Viktor is notoriously weak against crowd control abilities, particularly in the bot lane. Despite having a movement buff with his Q, well-timed crowd control can break him with relative ease.

Don't engage Viktor in close quarters combat. His W and Ultimate R abilities are designed for disrupting fights in tight spaces. Keep your distance and pick off his health from afar.

If Viktor gets ahead, focus on farming and amassing as much gold and XP as possible instead of directly engaging him. You'll require sufficient power and time to counter his damage output effectively.

While Viktor has efficient wave clear abilities that allow him to damage multiple enemies at once, he becomes substantially more powerful in the late game when all of his abilities are upgraded. Try to keep pressure on him and end the game before this happens.

If you find yourself losing ground to Viktor, try to catch him off-guard or out of position. A successful pick can lead to a game-changing advantage in a team fight or allow you to take objectives for free.
