Ekko vs Akali

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin with low early agency against Akali's high early pressure.
Focus on surviving early trades and denying Akali safe access to extended fights using your Q-W-E combo.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E to burst quickly, then disengage before Akali can respond with Akali E or Akali W.
Punish Akali when her W is down by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid engaging if Q misses after E, as you lose trading advantage.

Danger windows

Akali is dangerous during her Akali W usage and Akali E commit.
Before level 6, you are vulnerable to Akali's high early aggression.
Missing your W stun setup leaves you open to counterattacks from Akali.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Akali's early waveclear and mobility favor her.
Use Q and E for short burst trades and back off before Akali commits with Akali W.
Maintain wave control to prevent Akali from safely using her shroud for aggressive trades.

Power spikes

Respect Akali's level 3 power spike with Q-W-E and her level 6 ultimate.
Your level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E burst and stun threat.
Your level 6 R provides a safety net and burst reset to survive Akali's all-ins.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stuns to turn fights and using R to dodge Akali's burst.
Deny Akali extended trades by punishing her when her W is down.
Scale safely through early game to leverage your superior burst and mobility after first item.

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