Laning Phase
Focusing on last hitting as many minions as you can is very important for any midlaner. This is especially true for this Viktor Build, since each last hit gets him closer to reaching an ability augment. Your goal is to farm up as many hex fragments as possible, hopefully reaching an upgrade or two before the mid game starts.
Look for opportunities to punish your opponent with the incredibly high range provided from 
Death Ray. Many champions don’t have ways of matching its range, allowing you to essentially trade damage for free. Try to work with your jungler for times to roam or gank. Getting a takedown can aid you in getting an early augment, allowing you to take control of your lane that much sooner.
Team Fights
Viktor is one of the kings of AoE in League of Legends. Your job is to nuke down everyone you can in an area, especially the squisher targets. The sheer amount of area control provided via 
Chaos Storm,
Gravity Field, and Death Ray will put fear in the hearts of every squishy member of the opposing team trying to walk up to you.
The movement speed increases provided by both your kit and from 
Phase Rush should aid you in kiting away from those posing a threat to you, while allowing you to chunk down their health bars from range. These movement speed buffs can also aid you in chasing down targets, or allow you to reach a priority target who isn’t expecting you to be so fast.

Siphon Power on Viktor. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise Death Ray into Siphon Power and at last Gravity Field. Death Ray is a very strong ability of Viktor in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called 
Glorious Evolution and there is no need to set it manually on a Viktor Build.

Viktor’s third arm emitted a thin ray of light that welded metal into his left arm with steady precision. The smell of burning flesh no longer bothered him, nor did the sight of his left wrist splayed open, veins and sinewy muscle fused with mechanical augments. He did not wince. Instead, he felt a sense of achievement gazing at the seamless blend of synthetic and organic materials. - Short Story: A Quick Fix None
