Viktor vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage wave control and item evolution to outscale Aurelion Sol's late-game teamfight presence.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Aurelion Sol a passive farming lane and limit his scaling opportunities.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) poke combined with (Q) shield, keeping (W) ready for disengage or to punish Aurelion Sol's mispositioning.
Avoid using (W) solely for waveclear to prevent vulnerability to counter-engage.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he misses (Q) or (W) by stepping forward for short trades before he can reset.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is on cooldown, as Viktor is vulnerable to hard engages without zone control.
Respect Aurelion Sol's upgraded ultimate and item spikes that increase his chase and teamfight threat.
Watch for enemy jungle ganks; use wave control to reset or call for assistance when vulnerable.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to safely farm and poke with (E) while shielding with (Q) to mitigate poke damage.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Viktor has low early agency and Aurelion Sol can punish ability misuse.
Position to dodge (Q) and (W) to reduce incoming poke and create short trade windows.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to create pick or all-in opportunities and control fights; track Aurelion Sol's ultimate to avoid his counter-engage.
After completing first mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure on waves and trades to capitalize on improved damage and control.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game spikes after 75+ Stardust stacks and Rylai's completion by playing safe and focusing on stable farming.

Win conditions

Scale safely by prioritizing farm and evolving all abilities to maximize zone control and damage.
Use (W) to control space and prevent Aurelion Sol from safely farming or roaming.
Leverage (R) and item power spikes to force fights on your terms, denying Aurelion Sol free scaling and map impact.
