Ekko vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin with low early lane pressure who wants short trades and wave access to set up W stuns.
Avoid giving Lissandra a passive lane to prevent her from controlling engages with W and R lockdown.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then back off using passive movement speed to avoid Lissandra's W root and R lockdown.
Respect Lissandra's W root range and avoid committing if it is available.
Punish Lissandra if she uses E forward without safe recast by engaging quickly before she can follow up.

Danger windows

Lissandra's W root and R lockdown create lethal all-in windows; avoid extended trades when these are available.
Be cautious when Lissandra's E is off cooldown as she can flank or engage unexpectedly.
Pre-6 Ekko is vulnerable to Lissandra's crowd control and burst; play safe until R is unlocked.

Early game

Play cautiously pre-6 as Ekko has low early agency and Lissandra's W punishes melee commits.
Use Q and E for short trades but avoid engaging if Q misses to prevent losing trades.
Pressure the wave without overextending to deny Lissandra safe farming and setup opportunities.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks Ekko's Q-W-E burst combo; Level 6 R provides safety and reset potential.
Respect Lissandra's Level 6 Lissandra R for lockdown and self-peel.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases Ekko's kill threat.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun in short trades combined with Q and E burst, then disengaging safely.
Use R to dodge key damage or reset fights after engaging.
Deny Lissandra the chance to set up her W and R by pressuring wave and forcing her to farm under tower.
