Viktor is a Battlemage that deals magic (AP) damage and brings stun, slow. Their hard CC is tenacity-reducible, so Mercury's Treads and tenacity items shorten their lockdown. Below is Viktor's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveGlorious Evolution
Viktor gains Hex Fragments whenever he kills an enemy. With every 100 Hex Fragments he obtains, Viktor permanently augments an active ability. After upgrading all of his basic abilities, he can gather 100 Hex Fragments to augment his ultimate ability.
QSiphon Power
Viktor blasts an enemy unit with magic damage, which grants him a shield and empowers his next basic attack. Augment: Siphon Power's shield is increased by 60% and Viktor gains bonus move speed after casting the Ability.
WGravity Field
Viktor conjures a heavy gravitational field that slows enemies caught within its radius. Enemies who stay in the field for too long become stunned. Augment: Viktor's spells apply a slow to enemies.
EHextech Ray
Viktor uses his biomechanical arm to fire a Hextech Ray that cuts across the field in a line, dealing damage to all enemies in its path. Augment: An explosion follows in the Hextech Ray's wake, dealing magic damage.
RArcane Storm
Viktor conjures an Arcane Storm on the field, dealing magic damage and interrupting enemy channels. The storm periodically does magic damage to all nearby enemies and can be redirected by Viktor. Augment: The Arcane Storm moves 25% faster, and whenever champions die after taking damage from it, the storm grows and increases in its duration.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASViktor
- Hextech Ray is a powerful poke and a strong area of denial tool. Use it in combination with Gravity Field to control your enemy's position.
- Make sure you choose the right augment at the right time.
PLAYING AGAINSTViktor
- Be careful about how close you let Viktor get to you. Viktor's control of the battlefield increases with his proximity to his opponent.
- Be aware of how many augments Viktor has upgraded by looking at the color of the light on his staff (purple, yellow, blue, red).
