Although he is in the wizard category, Viktor has different features compared to normal wizards. Although he doesn’t show his strength in the early stages of the game, Viktor, who is known as Zaun’s mechanical engineer, is a character that shows his presence heavily as the game gets longer, and for sure, this way of showing can reveal itself in a very annoying way.
Standing out with his survivability feature, especially when compared to normal mages, Viktor has gained a place in the top lane thanks to these features from time to time. Of course, although his main laner was the middle lane, he could also be a dangerous character in the top lane. For this reason, we decided to examine Viktor’s CTs (Counters), abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
Viktor CTs: Strong counters against Viktor
- Twisted Fate
- Ekko
- Akshan
- Kassadin
- Ahri
Victor’s biggest enemy may be boredom, which he sided with mobility. Especially in the lane phase, the characters who are a little stronger in terms of mobility can trouble Viktor. At worst, when the opposing player goes to help in different lanes, Viktor can’t help his team as quickly as his opponent. Although this is not at the laning stage, it can create problems throughout the game.
All abilities of Viktor the Scientist who Dominates Machines:
- Passive / Glory of Evolution: Viktor can upgrade his basic abilities when he kills enemies.

Mid lane mechanical engineer strengths and weaknesses:
Viktor’s strengths:
- To many mages has higher survivability potential compared to
- Increased damage from mid-level
- Ability to push lane very quickly
With the payoff of his abilities, Viktor is more powerful than most mages. It has a lot of survivability potential. Besides that, he starts getting stronger from mid-stage and can also push his lane very quickly. Although he doesn’t show his damage in the early phase, Viktor gets stronger from the middle phase and can reflect this power. Especially when the game extends to the late stages, encountering Viktor can turn into a duel that results in your death.
Viktor’s weak traits:
- Has trouble with mobility
- Has trouble with crowd control like many mages
- Has trouble with assassins
Viktor is a character with more survivability than most mages. However, this does not prevent Viktor from having problems with the assassins. Of course, it can resist more, but it can still be a meal. However, it is inevitable that Viktor, like many wizards, will have problems with crowd control. While the aforementioned weaknesses are similar to the problems experienced by many mages, this is the situation that League of Legends generally suffers from.
