Read from Viktor's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurelion Sol.
This is Viktor's own plan; across 3,039 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Aurelion Sol has no early pressure while your E shoves and starves his stacks at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 he tucks in to stack, making it briefly even as he farms safe. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-based as he prioritizes Q stacks over trading. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | By 4-5 your E poke outranges his stacking and you pull ahead again. |
| Level 6 | Viktor | Level 6 he's still squishy and immobile, so your poke keeps you in control. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first Hexcore item spikes before his stacks matter, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | With two items your E and Chaos Storm burst him before his Q ramps and you stay favoured. |
You have the edge early because Aurelion Sol is a slow-scaling stacker with no burst or mobility, while your E (Hextech Ray) lets you shove and poke him off the wave. His whole game plan is farming Q (Breath of Light) stacks safely, so every minion and every bit of poke you deny sets his scaling back. Push the first waves in and force him to farm under tower or eat damage. Deny him the free early game he wants.
