Viktor vs Vayne

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize scaling through farming and evolving abilities to control space and teamfights against Vayne's high early pressure.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Vayne free scaling and prevent her from using her mobility to dominate trades.
Adapt defensively by respecting Vayne's engage windows and keeping (W) ready to disengage from her all-ins.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily with (E) poke and (Q) shield, keeping (W) for disengage to avoid (E) wall stun and burst.
Punish Vayne when she misuses (Q) forward or wastes (E) by stepping up for short trades.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down to reduce vulnerability to Vayne's true damage and mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Vayne has (E) ready near walls, as she can stun and burst with true damage.
Avoid trading or positioning aggressively when (W) is down, as Viktor becomes vulnerable to Vayne's all-in.
Respect Vayne's level 6 (R) stealth repositioning to prevent being caught off guard in trades or skirmishes.

Early game

Use level 3 powerspike to control wave and poke safely without overextending into Vayne's high early agency.
Avoid pushing excessively early to prevent Vayne from exploiting her mobility and (E) wall stun for all-ins.
Focus on farming and short trades with (E) poke and (Q) shield to mitigate damage and maintain lane presence.

Power spikes

Respect Vayne's level 6 (R) stealth (Q) power spike by holding (W) for disengage and avoiding overcommitment.
Use Viktor's level 6 (R) ultimate window to force all-ins, picks, or defensive resets rather than blind aggression.
After first completed mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure on wave and trades to punish Vayne's weaker early state.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving all abilities to control teamfights and zone Vayne effectively.
Use (E) poke and (Q) shield to deny Vayne easy trades and punish her cooldown mistakes.
Exploit windows when (E) is down or (Q) is misused to secure short trades and maintain lane control.
