How to win lane as Lissandra against Viktor · 49.36% win rate over 5,162 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even but his Q shield gives him a slight trade edge you must respect. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 his empowered auto and developing kit trade evenly with your poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-based as his W root threatens your engage attempts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 the farm-and-poke pattern keeps the lane even. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Your level 6 R is a point-and-click lock that cancels his channeled ult and Death Ray. |
| First item | Lissandra | On first item your all-in out-damages him before his upgrade spikes fully land. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | In your item-window fights your engage still pins him before he out-scales you. |
This is a scaling skill lane that leans slightly his way — Viktor's Q shield-and-empowered-auto beats you in short trades and his W can root your engage. Farm cleanly, don't walk into Gravity Field, and trade only when his Q is down. Neither of you snowballs level 1-4 without a jungler.
