Laning Phase
Focusing on last hitting as many minions as you can is very important for any midlaner. This is especially true for this Viktor Build, since each last hit gets him closer to reaching an ability augment. Your goal is to farm up as many hex fragments as possible, hopefully reaching an upgrade or two before the mid game starts.
Look for opportunities to punish your opponent with the incredibly high range provided from
Death Ray. Many champions don’t have ways of matching its range, allowing you to essentially trade damage for free. Try to work with your jungler for times to roam or gank. Getting a takedown can aid you in getting an early augment, allowing you to take control of your lane that much sooner.
Team Fights
Viktor is one of the kings of AoE in League of Legends. Your job is to nuke down everyone you can in an area, especially the squisher targets. The sheer amount of area control provided via
Chaos Storm,
Gravity Field, and
Death Ray will put fear in the hearts of every squishy member of the opposing team trying to walk up to you.
The movement speed increases provided by both your kit and from
Phase Rush should aid you in kiting away from those posing a threat to you, while allowing you to chunk down their health bars from range. These movement speed buffs can also aid you in chasing down targets, or allow you to reach a priority target who isn’t expecting you to be so fast.
Viktor Abilities
At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability
Siphon Power on
Viktor. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise
Death Ray into
Siphon Power and at last
Gravity Field.
Death Ray is a very strong ability of
Viktor in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called
Glorious Evolution and there is no need to set it manually on a Viktor Build.

Biography
The herald of a new age of technology, Viktor has devoted his life to the advancement of humankind. An idealist who seeks to lift the people of Zaun to a new level of understanding, he believes that only by embracing a glorious evolution of technology can humanity’s full potential be realized. With a body augmented by steel and science, Viktor is zealous in his pursuit of this bright future.
Viktor’s third arm emitted a thin ray of light that welded metal into his left arm with steady precision. The smell of burning flesh no longer bothered him, nor did the sight of his left wrist splayed open, veins and sinewy muscle fused with mechanical augments. He did not wince. Instead, he felt a sense of achievement gazing at the seamless blend of synthetic and organic materials.
Any fool could have predicted that Viktor would strike back at some point. If one weren’t a fool, one might predict the exact date and time of an attempted counterattack.
