Ekko vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin who wants short trades and to avoid Diana's all-in windows.
Focus on denying Diana safe access to her Q + E burst combo by controlling the wave and spacing carefully.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades and back off using passive movement speed.
Time W to stun Diana when she commits forward, punishing her predictable all-in pattern.
Avoid engaging if W setup misses or if Q is missed after E dash to prevent losing trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Diana's Diana Q and Diana E are off cooldown as she can all-in.
Avoid extended trades if W is not ready or missed.
Before level 6, Ekko is vulnerable to Diana's burst and should play more cautiously.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 6 as Diana has medium early agency and can punish missed Q.
Use level 3 power spike to trade with Q + E + W stun setup.
Punish Diana if she misses Diana Q or uses Diana E without reset to pressure her cooldowns.

Power spikes

Respect Diana's level 3 Q-W-E burst combo with shield and reset.
Use Ekko's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E trade pattern and level 6 R for safety and burst reset.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases Ekko's kill potential.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun to start short burst trades and using R to dodge key damage or reset fights.
Punish Diana's missed Diana Q and cooldowns on Diana E to control lane pressure.
Scale into mid-late game where Ekko's burst and mobility outmatch Diana's medium scaling.

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