Viktor vs Vex

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who needs to manage his immobility against Vex's high early lane pressure and burst.
Focus on medium lane pressure to deny Vex's passive fear and prevent her from winning trades early.

Trading pattern

Trade with E poke and Q shield while holding W for disengage against Vex's burst windows.
Punish Vex when she fails to land her passive fear by stepping forward with E and Q trades.
Respect Vex's passive fear and R engage; avoid extended trades when these are available.

Danger windows

Vulnerable when W is down or poorly placed; Vex can punish with burst trades.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins when Vex's passive fear or R is available.
Be cautious during Vex's ultimate cooldown downtime to safely apply pressure.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Vex has high early game agency and lane pressure.
Use Q and E to farm safely and poke when Vex's passive fear is down.
Avoid bad W placements to reduce vulnerability to Vex's burst trades.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R and first completed mage item with ability evolutions.
Respect Vex's level 6 Vex R and first AP burst item as strong all-in windows.

Win conditions

Scale safely to evolve abilities and complete core items to control space and teamfights.
Use W to zone and punish Vex's immobility outside her ultimate reset windows.
Exploit windows when Vex's passive fear is baited or forced out to trade aggressively with E and Q shield.

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