Introduction
I am Jochnes and have been playing League of Legends since Season 2! I put a lot of thoughts into the update of this guide so feel free to leave a vote and give me your feedback in the comments so I can improve this guide even more! Feel free to ask any question in my stream: Twitch.tv/jochnes Click Here if you are only interested in gameplay related tips with short video clips! Otherwhise just scroll through the guide, it will also explain a lot of the new/changed items, answering questions you may have about them! |
Pros
+ strong wave clear + selfpeel + safe DPS + good mid and late game + CC and zoning Viktor has a lot of impact on the map after upgrading Death Ray with Glorious Evolution. He got sustained damage with Siphon Power and scales pretty good into the late game. With Death Ray he can stall out any game and if he gets jumped on, Gravity Field and movement speed from Siphon Power will peel for him. |
Cons
- bad wave control early - team reliant - delayed damage Obviously Viktor's biggest weakness is the early game where he can't control waves and has to farm for his passive Glorious Evolution. It's annoying that Aftershock on Death Ray and Chaos Storm damage have a delay and can be avoided by mobility, so he is kinda reliant on CC from his team for setup. |
|
Doran's Ring Doran's Ring gives insane Mana sustain when killing minions and also help with last hitting due to it's 15 AP and 5 on-hit dmg against minions. Never buy 2 of them thought, since it's passive is unique! |
|
Corrupting Potion Until season 11 I prefered Doran's Ring over this item, but since you want to get Dark Seal and Tear of the Goddess on your first back now, there would just be too many items in your inventory, making it hard to buy other recipe items. Another option is to start with Dark Seal and Refillable Potion, but with that you need to base really early, because you have no mana at all. |
|
Sorcerer's Shoes Increases your damage against champions drasticly. Compared to Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Mercury's Treads and Plated Steelcaps it's the most impactful option to take. Viktor can get stats like Cdr and Magic Resistance from other items. With Sorcerer's Shoes you deal 11,6% more magic damage against enemies with 34 Magic Resistance. |
|
Liandry's Anguish The burn effect from Liandry's Torment can be spread fairly well by Viktor across the enemy team. The Ability Haste is pretty good on Viktor and will be the main reason to buy it. It's value increases in long fights and against targets with more HP. |
|
Demonic Embrace Synergyzes with Viktor's AOE spells and gives him really strong sustainable Dmg. It makes him really strong for teamfights and enemies will have a hard time killing him with the bnous armor and magic resistence that he gets from his AOE spells hitting the whole team! |
|
Cosmic Drive You buy this item mainly for it's high Ability Haste stats. It synergizes very well with your big mana pool from Seraph's Embrace, depending on how much gold you have on your first base after completing your mythic, I would sometimes build Cosmic Drive before finishing Seraph's Embrace though! |
|
Luden's Tempest I would only buy this item on Viktor when your enemies are not going to buy magic resitence. The effect from Liandry's Torment will pretty much always deal more dmg than Luden's Tempest so it only comes down to the magic penetration that it gives. |
|
Mejai's Soulstealer When having atleast 6 or at best 10 stacks on Dark Seal it's reasonable to upgrade it into Mejai's Soulstealer. Especially when going for Luden's Tempest since you will have a lot of burst damage to secure kills and Mejai's Soulstealer counts as legendary item, so Luden's Tempest will grant bonus 5 magic penetration for a cheap price! I will help you to snowball even harder! |
|
Void Staff When you are going for the Sorcerer's Shoes + Luden's Tempest + Mejai's Soulstealer build, Void Staff becomes extremly strong since % penetration is calculated before flat penetration. That means the 38 flat pen will hit your enemy after 40% of his magic resistence is already gone! I think this is an extremly strong build that will be really abusable! |
|
Rabadon's Deathcap Viktor has insane AP scalings so Rabadon's Deathcap is highly recommended. Even Siphon Power's shield scales with AP. Since your inventory will be kinda filled up with other items, it's helpful that Rabadon's Deathcap is built out of 2 Needlessly Large Rod's. They don't take away too much space. |
|
Banshee's Veil In some hard matchups or overall against assasins you can build an early Verdant Barrier and later on build it into Banshee's Veil. The Cdr. and Spellshield are useful for Viktor, you can fight almost any mage with this and protect yourself from getting caught by CC spells! |
|
Zhonya's Hourglass Seeker's Armguard can be build against physical damage dealing assasins though you don't need to rush for Zhonya's Hourglass! Finish it later on then but for early and mid-game the 45 armor should be enough. Chaos Storm can he redirected while in stasis of Zhonya's Hourglass. |
|
Morellonomicon Morellonomicon's only purpose now is to reduce healing! I would only recommend to buy it if the enemy team has insane healing champions, that you will be able to affect consistently with your spells. Otherwhise it's just a waste of gold since the item doesn't have good stats. For example to be building it against Soraka than against Vladimir since he probably won't be your main target, while against the Soraka, everyone is a possible target. It also comes down to how fed the healing Champion is and if someone else in your team has already bought healing reduction. |
