Track: Viktor's W — Gravity Field (17–13s cooldown). The stun zone owns every all-in — walk out the moment it drops or fight outside it.
Read from Neeko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Viktor.
This is Neeko's own plan; across 2,377 pooled games the lane is leaning Viktor.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Pre-augment Viktor is a weak immobile laner your level-1 E-Q trade beats. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays yours before he augments any ability to farm safely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At three abilities your burst still cleanly beats an un-augmented Viktor. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5 tip to Viktor once augmented Q and E let him farm safe and out-range you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even and skill-based: your E root versus his W Gravity Field decides it. |
| First item | Neeko | Your first-item spike out-tempos his scaling and bursts him before Arcane Storm ramps. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | By two items a fully augmented Viktor zones every fight and out-DPSes your dive. |
Levels 1-3 favour you: before Viktor augments his abilities he's a weak, immobile laner and your E-Q trades beat him cleanly, so contest waves and deny his early farm to slow his augment timings. Push your advantage while he's at his weakest. Track Gravity Field is 17s at rank 1 and 13s at rank 5: it slows first and only stuns if you stand in it, so step out and his 800-range zone is spent.
