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).
