Azir vs Ekko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on stable soldier zones to farm safely and chip Ekko before item spikes.
Deny Ekko's short all-in windows by punishing his setup delays and cooldowns.
Prioritize scaling through controlled lane states and soldier DPS in teamfights.

Trading pattern

Poke through soldiers with (W) and (Q), keeping distance and saving (E) and (R) for escapes.
Punish missed (Q) or failed (W) setups by stepping forward with soldiers and (Q) poke.
Avoid committing (E) aggressively without (R) ready to prevent being punished by Ekko's engage.

Danger windows

Beware (W) stun setup combined with (E) engage before you have (R) available.
Avoid using (E) aggressively without (R) as Ekko can punish your reduced mobility.
Ekko's level 6 (R) reset increases kill threat; play cautiously until your (R) is up.

Early game

Use (W) to place soldiers and poke with (Q) when Ekko wastes (E) or (Q) cooldowns.
Respect Ekko's level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and avoid extended fights before level 6.
Hold wave near your tower to reduce Ekko's all-in angles and limit his roam potential.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) grants major safety and pick potential; use it to punish Ekko's commits.
First mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage; increase pressure while tracking Ekko's counters.
Ekko's level 3 unlocks his burst combo; respect this window to avoid losing trades.

Win conditions

Maintain soldier zones to safely farm and chip Ekko, denying his all-in setups.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Ekko when he commits, punishing overextensions.
Outscale Ekko by hitting item spikes and controlling teamfights with soldier positioning and (R).

Tip: For Azir vs Ekko, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
