Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Ekko's superior range and Q poke, but can win short trades at level 3 if you land E on him.
- Post-6 you have kill pressure advantage with R engage potential, though Ekko's R makes him slippery.
How to Trade
- Look for E onto Ekko when his Q is on cooldown, then W-auto-Q combo before he can retaliate with full rotation.
- Avoid extended trades where he can proc his passive and disengage with E.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to hit 6 first since you're melee, but be careful of jungle ganks due to your lack of escape pre-6.
- After 6, look to freeze near your tower to set up all-ins with R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively without vision of enemy jungler since you have no other escape tool.
- Avoid trading when Ekko has his passive stacks building up as the movement speed and damage will turn trades heavily in his favor.
