Answer

Ruling: No, Viktor's ability will not trigger. Even though the units die simultaneously, in Riftbound game objects do not see simultaneous events if they die as the events happen.

Nuances:

  • Combat damage in the combat damage step is dealt simultaneously
  • The restriction on seeing simultaneous events applies to game objects generally, not just units
  • Delayed triggers are the only triggers that get around this restriction
