The Hwei versus Viktor matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Hwei deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Viktor deals primarily magic damage (95.18%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Viktor, ranking 9th (versus 29th for Hwei) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Hwei player to maintain constant pressure on Viktor, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
