Ekko vs Orianna

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin who wants to execute short trades using Q and E plus a well-timed W stun to disrupt Orianna's control mage setup.
Avoid giving Orianna a passive lane to control with her ball placement by pressuring her early and denying calm scaling windows.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E to engage for quick burst trades, then back off using your passive movement speed.
Punish Orianna if she mispositions her ball or wastes Orianna E shield, especially when Orianna W is on cooldown.
Avoid committing if your W stun misses or if you fail to land Q, as Orianna can retaliate strongly.

Danger windows

Orianna R can displace and burst you, so avoid extended trades when it is available.
Missing your W stun leaves you vulnerable to Orianna's poke and shielded counterattacks.
Before level 6, you are more susceptible to Orianna's poke and lack your R safety, so play cautiously.

Early game

Pressure Orianna before level 6 to exploit her immobility and punish her longer Q cooldown.
Use level 3 power spike to unlock your full Q-W-E trade combo and threaten quick burst trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 as you are more vulnerable without R safety and burst items.

Power spikes

Respect Orianna's level 6 Orianna R as a major threat to all-ins.
Your level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo is a key early power spike to pressure Orianna.
Your first completed AP burst item significantly increases your kill threat and trade potential.

Win conditions

Win by denying Orianna calm scaling by punishing her longer cooldowns and immobility early.
Use your W stun to create windows for burst trades and disengage safely with your passive and R.
Reach your first AP item and level 6 to threaten all-ins that Orianna cannot easily contest due to her immobility.
