| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Your range and ball beat him before his Death Ray is leveled - level 1 yours. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | At 2 you still out-harass his un-upgraded kit, keeping the edge. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | His Death Ray comes online at 3 and the poke war levels off. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Augmented Death Ray out-clears and out-pokes you through 4-5 - his favour. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 both ults are up and neither kills through the other - even. |
| First item | Even / skill | You build core together and shields/E cancel out - even window. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Fully itemized Viktor out-ranges and out-DPSes you in fights - his. |
Levels 1-2 are yours - your base range and ball harass beat him before his Death Ray is leveled, so step up and chunk him as he last-hits. He has no wave-clear edge yet, so shove and deny his early upgrade fragments.
