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
영광스러운 진화빅토르가 적을 처치할 때마다 마공학 파편을 얻습니다. 마공학 파편을 100개 획득할 때마다 빅토르의 사용 스킬이 영구적으로 증강됩니다. 기본 스킬을 모두 업그레이드한 후에는 마공학 파편을 100개 모아 궁극기를 증강할 수 있습니다.
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
힘의 흡수빅토르가 적 유닛에 폭발을 일으켜 마법 피해를 입히며 보호막을 얻고 다음번 기본 공격이 강화됩니다.증강: 스킬 사용 시 빅토르의 이동 속도가 빨라지고 힘의 흡수 보호막 흡수량이 60% 증가합니다.
Strong: shields him and empowers his next auto for a strong trade. Weak: melee-range payoff — poke him from outside auto range.
W
중력장빅토르가 강력한 중력장을 생성해 해당 지역 안에 들어온 적들을 느리게 만듭니다. 중력장에 오래 머무르는 적은 기절합니다.증강: 빅토르의 스킬이 적을 둔화시킵니다.
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
마법공학 광선빅토르가 생체기계 팔을 사용해 땅을 일직선으로 가르는 마법공학 광선을 쏘아 경로상의 적 모두에게 피해를 입힙니다.증강: 마법공학 광선 파동에 이어 폭발이 일어나 마법 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: a piercing laser that clears waves and pokes hard when upgraded. Weak: a telegraphed line — sidestep it and he wastes the mana.
R
아케인 폭풍빅토르가 목표 위치에 아케인 폭풍을 일으켜 대상 지역에 있는 적에게 마법 피해를 입히며 적의 정신 집중을 끊습니다. 폭풍은 주위 적에게 주기적으로 마법 피해를 주고 빅토르가 진행 방향을 바꿀 수 있습니다.증강: 아케인 폭풍이 25% 빠르게 이동하고 챔피언이 폭풍으로부터 피해를 입은 후 죽을 때마다 폭풍의 크기가 커지고 지속시간이 증가합니다.
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.
