Viktor vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who wants to farm safely and control space with evolved abilities and items.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Diana free all-in windows while respecting her burst potential.

Trading pattern

Trade using E and Q shield while keeping W ready to slow and stun if Diana engages with Diana Q and Diana E.
Punish Diana if she misses Diana Q or uses Diana E without reset by stepping forward with E poke.
Avoid trading when W is down as you become vulnerable to Diana's burst and engage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Diana has Diana E available for all-in burst; keep W ready to zone or disengage.
Vulnerable if W is poorly placed or on cooldown, as Diana can punish with her burst combo.
Diana is less threatening when Diana E is on cooldown; use this window to poke and pressure.

Early game

Focus on farming with E poke and use Q shield to mitigate Diana's burst attempts.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Diana unlocks her full Q-W-E burst combo.
Use W primarily for disengage to punish Diana's all-in attempts after she commits with Diana E.

Power spikes

Respect Diana's level 3 power spike when she gains Q-W-E burst and shield.
Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed item with ability evolutions.
Use your scaling and item power to out-control Diana in mid to late game teamfights.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving abilities to control space and zone Diana.
Punish missed Diana Q and cooldowns on Diana E with aggressive E poke and shielded trades.
Use R in teamfights to control space and leverage your superior scaling to win fights.

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