Mage / Battlemage
Beginner Rule
Don't stand inside Gravity Field (W) — Viktor's stun zone becomes much more dangerous the longer you stay in it.
Viktor is a scaling control mage who excels at zone control and sustained teamfight damage. He wants to upgrade his abilities through Hex Fragments (Passive) while controlling fights with Gravity Field (W). Many beginners underestimate how much stronger Viktor becomes after completing upgrades.
First Upgrade – Abilities gain powerful new effects.
First Item – Waveclear and poke improve significantly.
Multiple Upgrades – Becomes a major late-game threat.

QWhat it does
Blasts an enemy dealing magic damage, granting a shield, and empowering his next basic attack.
How to play against
The Q proc auto deals bonus damage — back off after Q lands to deny the empowered auto.

Creates a gravity field slowing and eventually stunning enemies inside.

How to play against
The storm follows his cursor. Stay out of range — the storm grows after champion kills.
