Playing as Viktor

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with your ray

    Poke with Hextech Ray (E), fired in the direction you choose: it hits every enemy in its line, and its upgrade adds an aftershock in its wake.

  2. Siphon Power, then an auto

    After Siphon Power (Q), land an auto within 4 seconds: it deals bonus magic damage, and the spell's shield covers you during the trade.

  3. Gravity Field, then your ray

    Place Gravity Field (W) in your target's path, then fire Hextech Ray (E): the field slows them, and if they stay in it for 1.25 seconds, they're stunned.

  4. Choose your upgrades well

    Glorious Evolution (passive) upgrades a spell every 100 Hex Fragments: Hextech Ray (E) to poke and clear, Siphon Power (Q) to survive, Gravity Field (W) to slow.

  5. Drop your storm on their group

    Place Arcane Storm (R) on grouped enemies: it follows the champions it just damaged on its own, and you can recast it to move it.

Playing against Ashe

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.

  2. Back off during her Focus

    Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.

  3. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.

  4. Dodge her long-range arrow

    Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
