Camille aims to pressure Viktor early to deny his calm scaling and avoid giving him free wave control.
Use terrain angles to threaten engages and set up short trades around second (Q) to chip Viktor before he scales.
This is a scaling vs scaling lane where Camille must leverage her mobility and lockdown to punish Viktor's immobility and delayed zone control.
Trading pattern
Trade by landing the second (Q) true damage and use (E) only when you have a clean angle from terrain to stun Viktor.
Punish Viktor when he misplaces (W) or uses it solely for wave clear by engaging immediately after.
Avoid long trades when second (Q) is down or (E) is on cooldown to prevent Viktor's poke and zone control from overwhelming you.
Danger windows
Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as your engage and escape options are limited against Viktor's poke.
Respect (W) zone control which can slow and stun you if caught in it; avoid extended trades near his field.
Avoid committing to all-ins when (R) is up and your (R) is down, as he can counter your lockdown and punish overextensions.
Early game
Use early waves to position near walls and prepare for (E) engages when Viktor mispositions or wastes (W).
Avoid extended trades before your first item spike; focus on short trades landing second (Q) and disengage before Viktor can retaliate.
Track (W) cooldown as a window to punish his immobility and lack of hard engage pre-6.
Power spikes
At first sheen-style item, Camille's second (Q) becomes a reliable short trade tool; use this to pressure Viktor and threaten side-lane picks.
At level 6, use (R) to lock down Viktor and dodge his key spells, turning all-ins into guaranteed kills.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) availability and his first completed mage item evolution; avoid forced fights and punish cooldowns after his ultimate is spent.
Win conditions
Use side-lane terrain to threaten (E) engages and isolate Viktor for lockdown with (R).
Focus on short trades around second (Q) and disengage before Viktor can retaliate with poke or (W).
Scale into your item spikes to pressure side lanes and force Viktor into unfavorable fights or splitpush scenarios where you can pick him off.
