With Viktor you can use Q or E at level 1. Most people use the Q at level 1, as it gives you better opportunities to win against the opponent in a direct 1v1.

The E Death Ray is your most important spell, as it does the most damage of Viktor’s basic abilities at long range and against multiple enemies. This is mainly used to push the minion wave. That’s why this spell is the first to be leveled up to the maximum.
It is important that you boost this ability first with your Glorious Evolution passive.
E-boost from Glorious Evolution: As soon as the Death Ray has received your upgrade, the first ray is followed by an explosion along the ray. This allows you to farm the minion wave very quickly and also put more pressure on your opponent.

Passive-Glorious Evolution: Viktor needs 100 charges on his passive to make a basic ability stronger.
You get 1 charge when you “last hit” 1 minion. In other words, you can upgrade an ability with 100 “lasthits” on minions.
However, each cannon minion gives you 10 charges. It is particularly important to farm these, as they give you more gold anyway, but Viktor also gives you more charges.
Kills or supports on champion kills give you 20 charges. Viktor doesn’t really like to fight early as he does very little damage, but loves it when he gets early charges from supports.

The Q power transfer gives you a shield when used, does damage to the target it is used on and boosts your next auto attack.
This ability is maximized second and also gets the second upgrade to your Glorious Evolution passive.

Q boost from Glorious Evoloution: Your shield is boosted and Viktor gains 60% movement speed after performing it. This allows you to stay close to your opponent or run away from them.

R-Chaosstorm: Viktor summons a storm that deals damage in a circular radius. This can be controlled by pressing the R button + right mouse button. Enemies should get out of there as quickly as possible, as the storm deals a lot of damage over a longer period of time. Your aim should be to keep the opponent in this area for as long as possible. This works very well together with Viktor’s W ability. After all basic abilities have been improved, you can collect 100 more stacks to improve the ult. This will increase the duration and size of the ult whenever you have scored a support or kill with the ult in the last 3 seconds.

W Gravity Field: Your W ability places a gravity field on the ground that slows enemies in the radius and also stuns them after a short time if they do not leave the field. As soon as you realize that the opponent cannot escape the stun, you can use the ultimate ability “Chaos Storm” + “Laser” on the opponent. Plus the Q + auto attack. This can also cause enough damage in the early game to defeat the opponent. However, it is usually only enough to send the opponent to the base. In the late game with upgrades, this combination is very deadly. It’s a lot of damage in a short time.
W Boost from Glorious Evoloution: This boost is leveled up as the last upgrade. This causes all your abilities to slow the enemy when you hit them.
