Viktor vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage his immobility and use W for zone control against Ekko's burst and mobility.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ekko easy short trades and avoid giving him windows to set up his W stun.

Trading pattern

Trade with E poke and Q shield while keeping W ready to disengage from Ekko's burst combo.
Punish Ekko when he misses Ekko Q or Ekko W setup by stepping forward with E and Q trades.
Respect Ekko's Ekko W stun and Ekko E mobility by not overextending without W zone control.

Danger windows

Viktor is vulnerable when W is down or placed badly, creating openings for Ekko's burst.
Ekko's Ekko W stun and Ekko E engage combo create lethal all-in windows, especially post level 3 and 6.
Before Viktor reaches key item spikes, avoid extended trades to reduce risk from Ekko's burst and mobility.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using E to poke Ekko, avoiding all-in windows before level 6.
Use Q shield proactively to mitigate Ekko's burst when he tries to engage with Ekko E.
Avoid placing W poorly early to prevent vulnerability to Ekko's quick trades.

Power spikes

Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R, first completed mage item, and ability evolutions.
Ekko's major spikes are level 3 unlocking his Q-W-E combo and level 6 Ekko R for burst and resets.
Respect Ekko's power spikes by playing cautiously before Viktor reaches his own item and evolution thresholds.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving abilities to control space and teamfights.
Use W to zone and prevent Ekko from landing his stun combo, punishing missed Ekko Q or Ekko W.
Leverage level 6 R and item power spikes to dominate mid and deny Ekko's all-in attempts.
