How to play it

Dodge his stun
Gravity Field (W) is Viktor's only hard CC, and eating it is the one thing that lets him win a trade on you.
Level 3 spike
At level 3 your trades go hard: commit and extend the fight, where your sustained spell spam grinds him down.
Respect levels 1-2
Avoid trading at levels 1 and 2: you have no kill pressure yet, so just farm safely until your level 3 spike.
Never trade while you're caught in his stun: Gravity Field is the one thing that flips the lane against you, so respect it every time.
