Viktor vs Akali

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage Akali's high early lane pressure and mobility.
Focus on medium lane pressure to deny Akali safe windows for extended trades and all-ins.

Trading pattern

Trade with E poke and Q shield, using W to zone and disengage from Akali's commit with Akali E.
Punish Akali when her Akali W is down by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
Avoid using W poorly as it can leave you vulnerable to Akali's burst and mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Akali's Akali W is up, as it creates her safest trading window with stealth.
Avoid extended trades when Akali's Akali E recast is available, as it is a major commit and burst opportunity.
You are vulnerable if you place W poorly or use abilities only for waveclear, exposing yourself to Akali's engage.

Early game

Use Q and E to farm safely and poke while respecting Akali's early aggression with Akali W.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Akali unlocks her full Q-W-E combo and mobility.
Keep W ready to disengage from Akali's all-in attempts after she uses Akali W or Akali E.

Power spikes

Respect Akali's level 3 power spike when she gains full Q-W-E trading and mobility.
Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R, first completed mage item, and ability evolutions.
Use your scaling and item progress to out-control Akali in mid and late game fights.

Win conditions

Scale through safe farming and item upgrades to control space and teamfights.
Punish Akali's cooldowns, especially when Akali W is down, to deny her extended trades.
Use W for zone control and disengage to survive Akali's burst and maintain lane presence.

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