| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Irelia | No dash or hard peel on his side means your early dive wins every clean engage |
| Level 2 | Irelia | Levels 3-5 continue in your favor as Gravity Field only delays, doesn't stop, your commit |
| Level 3 | Irelia | Item and level power let you close remaining distance and punish his squishy frame |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Levels 4-5 hold since his poke still can't out-damage your sustained all-in pressure |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Chaos Storm needs setup you can dodge by engaging from an unexpected angle |
| First item | Irelia | First item burst kills him before his Hex Core stacks translate into real damage |
| Two+ items | Irelia | Even fully scaled with augmented E, disciplined engage timing keeps this yours late |
Levels 1-2 favor you clearly since Viktor's early kit is just poke — no dash, no real all-in threat — so every time you close distance with Bladesurge you win the trade outright.
