Viktor vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage his low early agency against Ziggs's high poke and waveclear pressure.
Focus on farming safely and avoid giving Ziggs free poke windows to prevent falling behind in lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade short with E and Q shield, keeping W ready to disengage from Ziggs poke and displacement.
Punish Ziggs when his W is on cooldown by stepping forward for E poke and W zone control.
Avoid using W poorly as it leaves you vulnerable to Ziggs Q poke and W displacement.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Viktor's W is down as you become vulnerable to Ziggs poke and engage.
Ziggs W displacement can interrupt your positioning; avoid overextending when it is available.
Avoid extended trades when Ziggs has mana to maintain waveclear and poke pressure.

Early game

Use Q shield proactively to absorb Ziggs Q poke and mitigate damage.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Ziggs's poke and waveclear dominate early lane pressure.
Maintain medium lane pressure by farming with E and only trading when Ziggs W is down.

Power spikes

Respect Ziggs's level 6 R burst potential and his first completed poke item spike.
Viktor's major spikes come at level 6 with R and after evolving abilities and completing first mage item.
Use Viktor's evolved E to maximize poke damage and zone control against Ziggs.

Win conditions

Scale safely through early poke to evolve abilities and complete key items.
Use evolved E and W to control zones and punish Ziggs when his W is down.
Leverage R at level 6 and item spikes to dominate teamfights and control space, denying Ziggs's siege potential.

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