Farm your way back: Viktor's superior farming (6.66 vs 5.82/min, 26th among Mid) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.84 CS/min natural advantage.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Viktor deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Talon deals mainly physical damage (90.12%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Viktor is higher farming statistics (ranked 26th among role champions) (versus 54th for Talon), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Viktor player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Talon player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
