| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even while you shove and he farms toward augments. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your global Destiny roam pressure outclasses his stationary R in lane. |

| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items his evolved Arcane Storm zoning matches your utility for an even fight. |

Viktor's Siphon Power (Q) shield-poke pattern out-trades you at 1, but once you have Blue Card and Red Card you shove the wave and deny his Gravity Field farm-augments.
