Ekko vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin with low early agency and lane pressure against Ahri's high early agency and poke threat.
Focus on surviving early pressure and denying Ahri a passive lane state to avoid her roaming and pick potential.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, disengaging immediately after proccing passive to avoid Ahri's return poke.
Punish missed Ahri E by engaging with W stun setup for a stronger trade.
Avoid engaging if Q misses or W setup is interrupted, as Ahri can retaliate heavily.

Danger windows

Before level 6, Ekko is vulnerable to Ahri E and poke without reliable escape.
When Ahri's Ahri E is up and Ahri R is available, avoid extended trades or all-ins.
Missing W stun or Q poke leaves Ekko exposed to Ahri's retaliatory damage and Ahri E.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Ahri's poke and Ahri E punish window are strong.
Use level 3 power spike to start short Q and E trades, but only when Ahri's Ahri E is on cooldown.
Respect Ahri E threat by not committing forward without W setup or clear escape.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Ekko's full Q-W-E trade combo with mobility and stun threat.
Level 6 R is a key survival and burst reset tool against Ahri's pick potential.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R for her extended pick and escape power.

Win conditions

Win short trades by landing W stun after Ahri wastes Ahri E or mobility.
Use R to dodge Ahri's burst and reset fights for counter-engage.
Deny Ahri calm scaling by pressuring wave and punishing Ahri E cooldowns to prevent her roaming impact.

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