Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with Q poke and passive burn damage while Ekko lacks his full combo potential.
- At level 6, you lose the 1v1 as Ekko gains massive kill pressure with his ultimate and full rotation damage.
How to Trade
- You should constantly poke with Q and look for barrel-Q-auto combos when Ekko goes for CS.
- Space properly to avoid his E engage and use your passive movement speed to kite after trading.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave near your tower to deny Ekko farm and force him to overextend for CS.
- Use your Q to maintain the freeze while poking him down and setting up barrel zones.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to let Ekko get free roams after level 6, as his map impact becomes too strong.
- Don't waste your ultimate on other lanes when Ekko is missing, as you need it for self-peel against his all-ins.
