Viktor vs Zoe

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage Zoe's high early lane pressure and poke threat.
Prioritize denying Zoe's poke angles by controlling space with W and evolving abilities to survive early aggression.

Trading pattern

Trade short with E and Q shield, keeping W ready to disengage Zoe's all-in attempts.
Punish Zoe after she misses Zoe E by stepping forward with E and W for zone control.
Avoid using W poorly as it leaves you vulnerable to Zoe's poke and burst combos.

Danger windows

High danger when Zoe's E is up and ready to land sleep, enabling her burst combo.
Vulnerable if W is down or poorly placed, as Zoe can exploit this with her burst and mobility.
Avoid extended trades when Zoe has R available to reposition and maximize poke range.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using E to poke while respecting Zoe E cooldown.
Avoid extended trades when Zoe's E is up to prevent sleep setup and burst.
Use Q shield proactively to mitigate Zoe's burst damage and sustain through poke.

Power spikes

Respect Zoe's level 6 R for extended poke angles and burst potential.
Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed item with evolved abilities for stronger zone control and trades.
Use evolved E for double-hit poke to pressure Zoe and control the wave.

Win conditions

Scale efficiently by farming and evolving abilities to out-control Zoe in mid and late game.
Punish missed Zoe E aggressively with E and W to deny her poke and force resets.
Use R and W to control teamfights and zones, leveraging your superior scaling to win fights.

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