Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Ekko's superior range with Q poke and passive proc damage while your abilities cost more mana.
- At level 6, you gain a significant advantage since stealing Ekko's R gives you both an escape tool and massive burst potential that he temporarily loses.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E2 to gap close, immediately following with W for the shield and heal, then Q for damage and slow to prevent his escape.
- Always look to proc your passive on minions before engaging to maximize your burst damage output.
Wave Control
- Push early waves aggressively with Q to reach level 6 first, as this timing spike is crucial for gaining lane control.
- After level 6, maintain wave control in the center to have space for all-ins while preventing Ekko from roaming freely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E2 aggressively without your W available, as you'll be left vulnerable to Ekko's W stun setup and have no sustain to recover.
- Avoid fighting in extended trades without your passive ready, since Ekko's three-hit passive outdamages you in longer engagements.
