Ekko vs Neeko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin with low early lane pressure against Neeko's higher lane pressure and medium early agency.
Focus on denying Neeko's ability to freely use minion lines for E angles and disguise setups by controlling wave and spacing carefully.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then disengage with passive movement speed before Neeko can retaliate.
Punish Neeko when Neeko E misses or Neeko R is down to reduce her all-in threat.
Avoid engaging if W fails to activate or Q misses, as Neeko can counterattack strongly then.

Danger windows

Neeko's Neeko E through minions can root and setup burst; respect this when minions are positioned for her.
Neeko's disguise from Neeko W and passive can hide her real position, so be cautious of sudden all-ins.
Neeko R is a major all-in and teamfight threat; avoid extended trades or close proximity when it's available.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Neeko's poke and root can punish missed Q or W setups.
Use short Q and E bursts to trade when Neeko's Neeko E is on cooldown or missed.
Maintain wave access to prevent Neeko from leveraging minion-enhanced Neeko E angles.

Power spikes

Ekko's level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E trade combo with stun threat.
Ekko's level 6 R provides a strong safety and burst reset.
Respect Neeko's level 6 R for multi-target burst and crowd control potential.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun after short Q-E bursts to control trades and force Neeko back.
Deny Neeko safe minion lines to reduce her Neeko E effectiveness and disguise angles.
Use R to dodge Neeko's burst or reset fights, enabling Ekko to scale into a stronger mid-game threat.

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