What makes Viktor dangerous
Viktor shields himself and empowers an auto with Q, plants a gravity field (W) that slows then stuns if you linger, and pierces the wave with an empowered E laser. His ultimate is a moving storm that silences and ramps damage. Once he completes his core items he out-zones and out-damages most mages.
How to play against Viktor
- 1Don't stand in his W gravity field — move out before it stuns you.
- 2Punish his weak early game and slow item timings before he powers up.
- 3He is immobile: dive him or send a roaming jungler; he can't escape.
- 4Sidestep his empowered E laser; it is a wide but telegraphed line.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No mobility or escape whatsoever.
- ✓Weak early game before his item spikes.
- ✓Mana-reliant when zoning with W and E.
- ✓His W stun is avoidable — just walk out of the field.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Viktor's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Glorreiche EvolutionViktor erhält Hex-Fragmente, wenn er einen Gegner tötet. Mit jeweils 100 Hex-Fragmenten, die er erhält, verstärkt Viktor dauerhaft eine aktive Fähigkeit. Nachdem er alle seine Grundfähigkeiten verstärkt hat, kann er 100 Verhexungsfragmente sammeln, um seine ultimative Fähigkeit aufzuwerten.
Strong: upgrades his abilities over the game, adding shields, waves and range. Weak: the power comes online slowly — punish him before he completes it.
Q
KrafttransferViktor fügt einer gegnerischen Einheit magischen Schaden zu, was ihm einen Schild verleiht und seinen nächsten Grundangriff verstärkt.Verstärkung: Der Schild von „Krafttransfer“ ist um 60 % erhöht und Viktor erhält bei der Aktivierung zusätzliches Lauftempo.
Strong: shields him and empowers his next auto for a strong trade. Weak: melee-range payoff — poke him from outside auto range.
W
GravitationsfeldViktor beschwört ein schweres Gravitationsfeld, das Gegner im Wirkbereich verlangsamt. Gegner, die zu lange in dem Feld bleiben, werden betäubt.Verstärkung: Viktors Fähigkeiten verlangsamen getroffene Gegner.
Strong: a gravity field that slows and stuns if you stay in it. Weak: it has a clear wind-up — simply walk out before the stun triggers.
E
Hextech-StrahlViktor benutzt seinen biomechanischen Arm, um einen Hextech-Strahl abzufeuern, der einer Linie folgt und getroffenen Gegnern Schaden zufügt.Verstärkung: Auf den Hextech-Strahl folgt eine Explosion, die magischen Schaden verursacht.
Strong: a piercing laser that clears waves and pokes hard when upgraded. Weak: a telegraphed line — sidestep it and he wastes the mana.
R
Arkaner SturmViktor erzeugt einen Arkanen Sturm auf dem Feld. Er verursacht damit magischen Schaden und unterbricht die Kanalisierung von Gegnern. Danach fügt der Sturm regelmäßig allen Gegnern in der Nähe magischen Schaden zu und Viktor kann seine Richtung ändern.Verstärkung: Der Arkane Sturm bewegt sich 25 % schneller und wenn Champions sterben, nachdem sie von ihm Schaden erlitten haben, wächst der Sturm und bleibt länger aktiv.
Strong: a moving storm that silences and ramps damage in fights. Weak: it drifts slowly — kite away from the storm and it does little.
Itemization
Magic resist and hard engage on his immobile frame. A quick gap-closer or roam punishes him; stay out of his gravity field to deny the stun.
