Diana vs Viktor

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium-pressure AP diver who wants to deny Viktor's scaling by forcing short trades with her Q + E + W burst combo.
Use lane pressure to prevent Viktor from safely farming and evolving his abilities without risk.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing Q and immediately use E to reset and follow up with W for burst and shield.
Respect Viktor W's delayed stun by dodging or disengaging before it triggers.
Punish Viktor when Viktor W is down or poorly placed by committing to all-in with R for hard engage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Q is on cooldown or missed, as Diana loses pressure and can be punished.
Respect Viktor W's stun timing and avoid standing in its area to prevent being locked down.
Avoid all-ins without E reset available or when Viktor's R is active and controlling space.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q + E + W combo and shield from W.
Punish Viktor when he uses Viktor W poorly or Viktor E only for wave clear.
Avoid extended trades if Q misses or E reset is unavailable to prevent heavy punishment.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks Diana's full burst combo; Level 6 R enables strong all-ins.
Respect Viktor's Level 6 R and item evolution spikes that increase his poke and zone control.
First completed AP item significantly boosts Diana's burst potential and kill pressure.

Win conditions

Use Q + E + W burst combo with Electrocute to quickly threaten Viktor before he scales.
Punish Viktor's immobility and poor Viktor W placements by engaging with R for kills or summoner burns.
Deny Viktor safe farming and item progression by maintaining lane pressure and forcing short trades.

Tip: For Diana vs Viktor, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
