Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and barrel zoning, as Ekko lacks gap closers and sustain early.
- At level 6, Ekko gains kill pressure with R reset potential, making the matchup shift in his favor if he lands Q-E combo.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q poke when Ekko goes for CS, then immediately place barrel behind yourself for disengage.
- Never commit to extended trades as Ekko's passive and W shield will out-trade your sustained damage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q and barrels to establish priority, then transition to freezing near your tower once Ekko hits 6.
- This forces him to overextend for CS while keeping you safe from his all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never place barrels predictably in Ekko's Q range as he can easily destroy them while clearing waves.
- Avoid face-checking bushes after level 6 since Ekko can set up W stuns in unwarded areas.
