Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q root setups, but Ekko's mobility makes landing Q difficult.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins as Ekko's R negates your burst and he can gap-close through your E shield.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q into W-auto when Ekko uses Q for waveclear, as he's temporarily less mobile.
- Always hold E for his W stun or R re-engage rather than using it proactively for trades.
Wave Control
- Push early levels with W to establish range advantage, then maintain slow pushes to keep Ekko from roaming.
- Avoid hard shoving post-6 as extended trades favor his kit and R reset potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on Ekko's Q animation or when he has E available, as he can easily dodge with his blink.
- Never use E preemptively in trades - save it to block his W stun or R damage when he commits.
