A real poke war — your Q out-ranges, his key spell punishes. Trade bombs and dodge the answer.

Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Viktor.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You out-range Viktor's early Death Ray and win level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 you keep the poke and range advantage. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 your combo shoves and denies his augment farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4-5 is a skill window as his upgrades come online. |
| Level 6 | Viktor | Arcane Storm plus a levelled Hextech Ray matches your burst. |
| First item | Viktor | Hex Fragment augments let Viktor out-clear and zone you. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Two-item Viktor out-scales your poke and dominates fights. |
You have the clear edge at levels 1-3: your 850 Q and Short Fuse pokes sit outside Viktor's 525 Hextech Ray, so poke him off every last-hit and shove hard to deny the kills that bank his Hex Fragment augments and delay his whole curve. Track Gravity Field: 17s at rank 1, 13s at rank 5 — it only stuns if you linger, so walk straight out.
