CONS



- Squishy champion
- Gold dependant
- Has no mobility


Summon Aery is good keystone for harassing. You can proc it by even autoattacks. Also, with this keystone you can deal lots of damage, and it is recommended to take it for beginners.
Phase Rush is a good keystone for extra escape in teamfights and duels. It also allows you to gap close with an opponent.
Electrocute is a situational keystone on Viktor. Take it, if you will not be able to harass an enemy with Summon Aery. With this keystone, try to trade with an opponent only when you can proc Electrocute on him.
Manaflow Band is the best rune from this slot as Viktor has issues with mana on the early game. It also can help to last hit minions using E in difficult situations.
Transcendence is also the best choice from this slot. It gives Viktor more AP and CDR which helps to cast spells more frequently.
Scorch is a good rune to deal more damage while harassing an enemy. If it is not possible to harass, Gathering Storm is also a good option. As Viktor is late game mage, this keystone will give him more AP on late phases of the game.
Taste of Blood is a good rune if you need more sustain. Cheap Shot is good rune to deal more damage with W.
Eyeball Collection is the best option from this slot as Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward are less better.
Ravenous Hunter is a good rune for more sustain. It also helps in teamfights very well.
Magical Footwear is the best option from this slot as it allows us to not waste 300g to buy boots, and it also give us more movement speed.
Biscuit Delivery is the best choice from this slot as it gives more sustain especially in difficult matchups.
Cosmic Insight is the best rune from this slot since it allows Viktor to use spells more frequently.
This rune path is situational option, and it is good when you are against assassins.
Shield Bash is good rune for Viktor when he trades with his Q as it gives sustain and damage while having shield.
Bone Plating allows Viktor to trade with an enemy safely and efficiently.

Every rune page uses 2x Adaptive Force and either armor or magic resistance for your defense stat, depending on your lane opponent. You can also take 2x magic resistance or armor if you have difficult matchup.
Flash is strongly recommended for Viktor as he has no mobility and escapes. Also, with Flash you can make some combos. You can use it as gap closer only if it is safe.
Teleport is recommended summoner spell for Viktor as it allows him to farm minions more than an opponent. It means that with this summoner spell, Viktor can build his core items faster and deal a lot of damage with them.
Cleanse is good option against difficult matchups with hard CC. Also, it is good summoner spell if you are against your opponent and jungle with hard CCs. For example: Zoe+ Elise, Syndra+ Amumu, etc.
Barrier is taken against difficult matchups with burst damage. For example: Syndra, Xerath, Lux, etc.
Ghost is a situational summoner spell. It is helpful in teamfights and duels against skillshot dependant champions like Lux.
Exhaust is taken against difficult matchups with burst damage. For example: Fizz, Zed, Katarina, Talon, etc.
PASSIVE
ABILITY
Viktor starts each game with a Prototype Hex Core, which permanently occupies one of his item slots. Viktor can spend gold to upgrade his Hex Core up to three times, increasing its stats and granting Viktor 1 Evolution point that he can spend to augment one of his basic abilities. Upon evolving each of his basic abilities, Viktor will automatically augment his Chaos Storm ability.

- Prototype Hex Core: Grants Viktor +3 ability power per level.
- Hex Core MK-1 - 1150g: Grants +4 ability power per level, +20 ability power, 150 mana and 1 Evolution Point.
- Hex Core MK-2 - 1000g: Grants +5 ability power per level, +40 ability power, 300 mana and 1 Evolution Point.
- Perfect Hex Core - 850g: Grants Viktor +6 ability power per level, +60 ability power, 500 mana and 1 Evolution Point.


Q
Viktor blasts an enemy unit, dealing 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120 (+40% of ability power) magic damage while shielding himself for 25 (+5 per level) (+20% of ability power) for 2.5 seconds.

Viktor's next basic attack is converted into magic damage, dealing 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+60% of ability power) damage.

AUGMENT- TURBOCHARGE: Viktor gains 30% bonus movement speed for 2.5 seconds after using Siphon Power. Also increases Siphon Power's shield value by 60%.


W
Viktor conjures a gravitational imprisonment device at a target location for 4 seconds, slowing all enemies that pass above it by 28 / 32 / 36 / 40 / 44%. Whilst under its effects, enemies generate stacks every 0.5 seconds; at 3 stacks the target will be stunned for 1.5 seconds.

AUGMENT- MAGNETIZE: Viktor's abilities, excluding Chaos Storm, slow enemies hit by 20% for 1 second.


E
Viktor uses his robotic arm to fire a 500-unit length laser beam across the field in a chosen path, dealing 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to every enemy it hits.

Augment - Aftershock: An explosion follows Death Ray's wake, dealing an additional 20 / 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 (+70% of ability power) magic damage.

R
After a 0.25 second delay, Viktor conjures a singularity at the target location, dealing 100 / 175 / 250 (+50% of ability power) magic damage and interrupting channeled abilities. The storm cloud remains for 6 seconds afterwards, firing lightning bolts which deal 65 / 105 / 145 (+45% of ability power) magic damage to all nearby enemies every second.

While the singularity is active Viktor can re-activate Chaos Storm to move it to the cursor's location or at an enemy champion. The singularity moves faster the closer it is to Viktor.

AUGMENT- PERFECT STORM: The Chaos Storm moves 25% faster.

The skill order for Viktor is R > E > Q > W. Level up your ultimate when possible at levels 6,11, and 16. Take Q at level 1 in order to proc Manaflow Band. Then take Death Ray at level 2 and 3 to deal more damage with E and max it first as it is Viktor's bread and butter ability, then max Q. If you think that your opponent will trade or dive you at level 3, spell your skill point on W at level 3 instead of E. Spend your evolution point on E first, then on Q and W.

AP - Main statistic for Viktor as his all abilities scale from AP.

CDR - It allows Viktor to use his abilities more frequently. It is very helpful in teamfight.

Movement Speed - As Viktor has no escape abilities, Movement Speed will be very good stat for him.

Mana - Useful statistic for Viktor which allows him to cast spells more frequently and stay in lane longer.

Health - Always good statistic for Viktor as mages are squishy champions, and Viktor have to live longer in teamfights. Take items with this stat if there is also AP.

Doran's Ring and 2 Health Potions are recommended starting items for Viktor, like for most mages. This item gives him HP, mana regen, and AP.
Ideal first back for Viktor is when he buys Hex Core MK-1 which costs 1150g. Try to always have 1150g before resetting.
If you were forced to have early first back and don't have 1150g, you can buy second Doran's Ring or Dark Seal with Refillable Potion.

Perfect Hex Core is first core item for Viktor as upgrades his abilities. Try to always build it faster.
lich bane1 is core item for Viktor as it well synergized with his Q which has low CD. Usually, you will take this item as second after Perfect Hex Core item.
Rabadon's Deathcap is a core item for Viktor as it gives lots and lots of ability power. If you are very ahead and can pick it up early, this item can be purchased as third item after Lich Bane.
Ionian Boots of Lucidity are recommended boots for Viktor. You will take them most of the games.
Buy Mercury's Treads when you are facing difficult AP matchups like Syndra, Fizz and Cassiopeia that can burst you down quickly.
Buy Ninja Tabi when you are facing difficult AD matchups like Zed and Lucian that can poke and burst you.
Void Staff adds more damage to your abilities. Build this item against targets that have built magic resistance as it gives 40% total magic penetration.
If you are against healing champions like Vladimir or Sylas, buy Morellonomicon.
If you have full stacked Dark Seal and you are very ahead, you can build Mejai's Soulstealer. It will give you 5 AP per stack (125 AP overall).
If you need to survive against AD enemy champions, you can build Zhonya's Hourglass. It gives Viktor AP, CDR, and armor. The active on the item gives you stasis for 2.5 seconds, and makes you unable to act but also makes you invulnerable and untargetable for the duration. This can save you countless times and from burst combos, even from AP champions like Fizz. If you are against assassins, you can buy part of this item, Seeker's Armguard, early game.
Banshee's Veil is a good defensive situational item against powerful AP abilities. The spell shield is very useful as it can block single abilities that can pick and kill you, like a Syndra's stun or Morgana's bind.

Here you can find item set code with all items above. If you want to import them into your League Client, all you have to do is go to Collection > Items and click "Import" button. There you should paste everything that is written in the spoiler below.
