Viktor Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Jungle

When Viktor Jungle gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Viktor wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Viktor's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Viktor hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Viktor can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Viktor can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Play to these strengths

Viktor is a main damage source (97/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Viktor farms well (percentile 85): keep catching side waves between fights.

Playing Viktor

Hextech Ray is a powerful poke and a strong area of denial tool. Use it in combination with Gravity Field to control your enemy's position.
Make sure you choose the right augment at the right time.

Playing Against Viktor

Be careful about how close you let Viktor get to you. Viktor's control of the battlefield increases with his proximity to his opponent.
Be aware of how many augments Viktor has upgraded by looking at the color of the light on his staff (purple, yellow, blue, red).
