| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Viktor's zone control and empowered autos punish your melee approach before you have mobility, so early favors him. |
| Level 2 | Viktor | His Siphon Power stacking damage keeps compounding the longer the poke-heavy lane continues. |
| Level 3 | Viktor | Continued zoning and safe scaling mean he's still ahead heading toward level 6. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | His Chaos Storm and Gravity Field combo is the scarier burst threat the moment both ultimates unlock, so this spike favors him. |
| Level 6 | Viktor | The AoE lockdown combo remains a real kill threat at this exact power spike, keeping it in his favor. |
| First item | Kassadin | Once Riftwalk is stacked you can dodge his zoning and punish his lack of escape, tipping this phase to you. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Full build your mobility over his stationary kit is a clear scaling advantage, so late favors you. |
Viktor's Gravity Field zoning and Siphon Power empowered autos punish your melee trade pattern before you have mobility to dodge his AoE, so you're stuck conceding lane control and CS while he scales safely behind his zone control tools.
