| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zoe | Zoe's early burst punishes a fragile, all-in-less Viktor at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Zoe | Level 2 E-Q poke keeps chunking Viktor before his items come online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 his Siphon Power shield and Death Ray even the lane to skill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 both trade around even on shield and poke timing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his still-fragile frame keeps the lane a skill matchup. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item trades stay close between your picks and his waveclear. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Evolved Viktor's shield and zone control out-scale you at two items. |
You open favoured: Viktor is fragile before items and has no early all-in, so your bubble-into-Q poke chunks him whenever he walks up to last-hit.
