Except for rare builds, Viego deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Karthus deals primarily magic damage (89.81%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Karthus, ranking 1st (versus 12th for Viego) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) 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 Viego player to maintain constant pressure on Karthus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
