How to play Viktor in ARAM Mayhem

Viktor is a strong pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier A, #26 of 173 champions, with a 52.2% win rate over 1,226,760 games. Riot rates it 9/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.

94% of Viktor's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Blackfire Torch, Rabadon's Deathcap and Shadowflame, with a 51.6% win rate over 833,973 games. For boots, most players buy Sorcerer's Shoes, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Viktor are Mad Scientist, Wooglet's Witchcap and Weapon of Destiny. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Skip Bread And Jam and Snowblast when you can: they do worst on Viktor. A pair to look for: Back To Basics with Mad Scientist.

Take Flash and Ghost (75% of players). Max E (Hextech Ray) first, then Q, then W.
