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 Orianna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her ball's line

    Don't stand in the path of her ball, because Command: Attack (Q) damages every enemy it passes through before stopping.

  2. Target her when her ball is far

    If you can engage, target Orianna when her ball is far from her: her spells come from the ball, and she has no dash.

  3. Don't group near her ball

    In teamfights, don't stay grouped with your allies near her ball, because Command: Shockwave (R) pulls every nearby enemy toward it.

  4. Watch the ally carrying her ball

    Back off when her ball is attached to an ally diving your team: Command: Shockwave (R) will then come from them.
