|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ahri  | Easy | 436 | 47% | -105 | -114 | This is a highly favorable 1v1 matchup for Viktor; you win trades at virtually every stage of the game and should force them often. The only real threat is her gank setup after level 6, so ensure you play around your vision and keep your Flash available. | |

 Orianna | Even | 426 | 49% | -54 | -203 | You are slightly stronger in the 1v1. This matchup is mostly a skillshot check, but you should be able to win trades at level 1 with Q spam. You definitely outscale, so as long as the game isn't lost too early, you should be in a good position. | |
 Syndra | Very Hard | 397 | 47% | -256 | -879 | Syndra is winning in a 1v1, but if you can dodge enough of her skillshots, it can be difficult for her. She also has very good gank setup, even early in the game, so you have to make sure to ward and play safely. Merc Treads can be good, but buying them too early can neutralize your own lane pressure. | |
 Sylas | Easy | 357 | 47% | -73 | -38 | Sylas can be difficult because of his high sustain and gank setup. In the 1v1, you should win as long as you dodge his chain. For the most part, try to keep the wave on your side or in the middle to minimize how far he can run you down. | |
 Hwei | Even | 347 | 48% | -85 | -39 | Hwei is an easy 1v1 matchup for you. You should be able to poke him out at all times. Try not to group too heavily with the wave, which will force him to choose between harassing you or pushing. Play on your E's range to avoid his Q poke. | |
 Galio | Easy | 323 | 43% | +89 | +761 | He poses a low threat in a 1v1, but it is difficult to push him out of lane due to his sustain. I would opt for a Phase Rush scaling page and focus on matching his wave push while avoiding ganks. | |
 Malzahar | Easy | 308 | 55% | +186 | +329 | This is one of the easiest matchups you will have. You can win trades with Q at basically any point. It's very easy to spam E and poke him out of lane. Just make sure to kill his voidlings as soon as they spawn and try to push him off the wave whenever he uses his cooldowns. | |
 Akali | Very Hard | 299 | 39% | -400 | -993 | Akali is difficult early on due to her heavy sustain. By taking the Grasp build, you can effectively outscale her in both teamfights and the sidelane. Focus on punishing her at levels 1-2, then maintain the wave on your side for safety. Avoid pushing past the halfway point post-6 to prevent her from running you down. | |
