How to win lane as Viktor against Kassadin · 50.25% win rate over 3,222 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Level 1 Viktor beats a Kassadin who is helpless to magic damage before items. |
| Level 2 | Viktor | At L2 you keep poking him off CS while he has no way to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Viktor | At L3 Death Ray lets you zone and starve him hard. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5 stay yours as he remains weak and you control the wave. |
| Level 6 | Viktor | At 6 his Riftwalk can't escape your storm-and-W, so you keep the lead. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is the even point where Kassadin's Riftwalk scaling equalizes the lane. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | With two items your early lead and range keep you ahead if you avoided feeding his scale. |
Levels 1-5 are firmly yours. Kassadin is one of the weakest laners into magic damage before his items, so use Death Ray to poke him off every last-hit and W to punish any step-up. Shove relentlessly and deny him CS and XP to delay the only thing he cares about: his powerspike.
