Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Viktor.
This is Yone's own plan; across 16,087 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1: pre-upgrade Viktor is weak and Yone controls the lane and CS. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays Yone's — W shield and wave control let Yone trade and zone Viktor off farm. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 favors Yone — E all-in threat that early Viktor can't answer without his upgrades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are Yone's — Yone's kill pressure builds while Viktor is still assembling his core. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 favors Yone in the 1v1 — E lets him commit and escape Viktor's R damage window. |
| First item | Yone | First-item timing is Yone's — his crit spike lands before Viktor's second component comes online. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Late game favors Viktor — augmented abilities and a redirectable Arcane Storm grind you down if the flank misses. |
Viktor is vulnerable before Hex Fragments augment anything, so apply constant pressure — walk up, Q-poke, and deny his farm. Dodge the 525-range Hextech Ray line, his poke and waveclear, and step back on the Siphon Power auto-reset wind-up. The longer he free-farms, the stronger he gets. Track Gravity Field is 17s at rank 1 and 13s at rank 5, and it only stuns those who stay inside — walk out on the cast.
