Zilean vs Viktor

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) bombs to zone Viktor from minions and force him to farm under pressure.
Exploit your (E) speed to dodge (E) poke and reposition for double bomb setups.
Prioritize denying Viktor's scaling by forcing trades before his item and evolution spikes.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on Viktor or slowed minion zones to maximize stun potential.
Use (E) speed boosts to engage or disengage around (W) field placement.
Punish Viktor when he uses (W) poorly or wastes (E) on wave clear without follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect (W) zone control which stuns after delay; avoid standing in it.
Avoid overextending when (R) ultimate is up due to his increased all-in threat.
Be cautious when your (R) is down, as Viktor's burst can punish your ADC dives.

Early game

Contest level 2 to leverage your double bomb stun and speed advantage.
Use (W) to reset (Q) cooldown early for sustained poke and wave control.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Viktor's poke and shield improve.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks double bomb stun plus (E) speed, enabling aggressive short trades.
Level 3 completes your kit; use (W) to chain bombs and pressure Viktor.
Level 6 (R) provides clutch revive to negate Viktor's burst or all-ins.

Win conditions

Control lane with bomb zones and speed boosts to deny Viktor's poke and farm.
Coordinate with your ADC to speed engage or kite through Viktor's skillshots.
Use (R) to negate burst or dive attempts, turning fights in your favor during mid to late game.

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