Upgrade your spells with the passive (Hex Core): Q upgrade (shield + speed), E upgrade (explosion), W upgrade (stronger slow), R upgrade (auto movement).
E (Death Ray) is your main poke — the laser improves with the upgrade for a follow-up explosion.
R (Chaos Storm) deals continuous zone damage — place it on grouped enemies and it follows them automatically after upgrade.
Viktor scales incredibly well with his upgrades — farm for your Hex Core and you become one of the best late game mages.

Playing against Viktor
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Punish Viktor in early game (pre-upgrade): he's weak before his first E upgrade.
His W (Gravity Field) has a delay before the stun — get out of the zone before it triggers.
Viktor is immobile: assassins and direct engages punish him well.
His R deals continuous damage — don't stay in the zone, move to minimize the ticks.
