Viktor vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage aiming to outscale Heimerdinger through item upgrades and evolved abilities.
Maintain medium lane pressure but avoid giving Heimerdinger free turret setups or passive lane control.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) poke and (Q) shield while keeping (W) ready to disengage from turret zones or (E) stun setups.
Punish Heimerdinger when his turrets are cleared or (E) is on cooldown by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid using (W) poorly as it leaves you vulnerable to turret damage and (E) stun combos.

Danger windows

Heimerdinger is most dangerous when multiple turrets are set and (E) stun is available; avoid walking into these zones.
Be cautious when (W) is down as Viktor is vulnerable to turret zone damage and (E) stuns.
Watch for Heimerdinger's upgraded (R) ability usage which can turn short trades into lethal damage.

Early game

Use level 3 powerspike to manage spacing with (E) poke and avoid extended trades.
Avoid walking into turret zones and punish Heimerdinger if he mispositions turrets.
Track (E) stun cooldown to avoid hard engage and counter trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) ultimate for verified all-ins or defensive resets, respecting Heimerdinger's upgraded (R) zone control.
After first completed mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure on waves and trades confidently.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade timing to avoid burst or control spells in turret zones.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving abilities while denying Heimerdinger turret setups.
Use (E) poke and (Q) shield trades to chip away health when turrets are down or (E) is on cooldown.
Leverage level 6 (R) and item power spikes to control teamfights and force Heimerdinger into defensive postures.
