Victor vs Calico

Brawler vs Assassin

You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.

Your game plan as Victor

A man who refuses to die. Victor fights hardest when he’s already dead.

How to beat Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

• 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
• 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
• 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.

1. 01Victor out-farms Calico by ~50.1 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Calico looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Jumpstart) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
