Viktor's early kit is fairly low-impact outside of Siphon Power trades, and you can outrange him with Noxious Blast while denying his farm with Miasma zoning. He'll look to set up Gravity Field to control space, so watch for that cooldown and punish him hard when it's down — your damage output is simply higher through the first few levels.
