Viktor vs Syndra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage space and avoid Syndra's burst windows.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Syndra easy poke and prevent her from setting up stuns.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with E and shielding with Q while holding W to disengage from Syndra E.
Punish Syndra if she misses Syndra E stun by stepping forward with E and Q trades.
Avoid extended trades when W is down to prevent being vulnerable to Syndra burst combo.

Danger windows

Syndra's E stun combined with R burst is the main lethal threat; respect its cooldown and sphere setup.
Viktor is vulnerable when W is down or poorly placed, as it is his main crowd control and disengage tool.
Be cautious before Viktor's item and evolution progress, as he is immobile and can be punished by Syndra's burst.

Early game

Use E to poke safely and farm, avoiding Syndra E stun setups.
Keep W ready for disengage since Syndra's burst and stun can punish overextensions.
Avoid committing to trades without your shield from Q evolved to reduce burst damage.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for area control and burst, and first completed mage item with ability evolutions.
Respect Syndra's Level 6 R burst and first item spike for her increased damage and kill threat.
Minor spike at Level 3 when Viktor gains better poke and field control with E and W.

Win conditions

Scale into item upgrades and evolve abilities to control space and teamfights.
Use Q shield and E poke to whittle Syndra down and punish missed Syndra E stuns.
Maintain W for disengage to avoid Syndra all-in windows and survive until your power spikes.

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