How to Play This Matchup
1
Power Curve
Karthus is strongest late game while Viego peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
2
Mixed Resistances
Karthus deals AP damage while Viego deals AD. Build resistances accordingly — don't stack the wrong type.
3
Mirror Playstyle
Both champions play a sustained style. The one with better execution and itemization wins. Focus on spacing and cooldown tracking.
4
Range Advantage
