Read from Viktor's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Level 1 is Orianna's because her Command: Attack ball poke out-ranges your rangeless start. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | Level 2 stays hers as safe ball poke and clear keep you off the wave before Hextech Ray. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out once Hextech Ray gives you range to fight the poke war back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5 favour Viktor as your beam out-ranges her ball and lets you poke first. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 returns to even since both ultimates are teamfight tools rather than lane executes. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is an even poke war between her ball control and your evolved Hextech Ray. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Two-plus items go to Viktor as sustained DPS, range, and Gravity Field out-damage her rotation. |
Levels 1-2 are Orianna's: her Command: Attack ball poke and safe clear out-range your start, so soak XP, farm carefully, and don't step into ball range for a greedy last hit.
