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
Gloriosa EvoluzioneViktor ottiene Frammenti Hextech ogni volta che uccide un nemico. Dopo ogni 100 Frammenti Hextech ottenuti, Viktor migliora un'abilità attiva in modo permanente. Dopo aver potenziato tutte le abilità di base, può raccogliere 100 Frammenti Hextech per potenziare l'abilità suprema.
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
Trasferimento energeticoViktor colpisce un'unità nemica con dei danni magici, che gli conferiscono uno scudo e potenziano il suo prossimo attacco base.Potenziamento: lo scudo di Trasferimento energetico aumenta del 60% e Viktor ottiene velocità di movimento bonus dopo il lancio dell'abilità.
Strong: shields him and empowers his next auto for a strong trade. Weak: melee-range payoff — poke him from outside auto range.
W
Campo gravitazionaleViktor evoca un pesante campo gravitazionale che rallenta i nemici nel suo raggio d'azione. I nemici che restano troppo a lungo nel campo vengono storditi.Potenziamento: le abilità di Viktor rallenteranno i nemici.
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
Raggio hextechViktor usa il suo braccio biomeccanico per sparare un raggio hextech che taglia il terreno in una linea, infliggendo danni a qualsiasi avversario che attraversa la sua traiettoria.Potenziamento: il raggio hextech è seguito da un'esplosione che infligge danni magici.
Strong: a piercing laser that clears waves and pokes hard when upgraded. Weak: a telegraphed line — sidestep it and he wastes the mana.
R
Tempesta arcanaViktor evoca una Tempesta arcana sul campo, infliggendo danni magici e interrompendo le canalizzazioni nemiche. La tempesta infligge periodicamente danni magici a tutti i nemici nelle vicinanze e può essere deviata da Viktor.Potenziamento: la Tempesta arcana si muove il 25% più velocemente e, ogni volta che infligge danni a un campione che muore, diventa più grande e aumenta la propria durata.
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.
