Ekko vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ekko should focus on efficient clears to hit level 6 quickly and use (W) to control river entrances before objectives.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority, as Shyvana's fast clear and objective focus can punish overextensions.
This matchup is a mid-game tempo battle where Ekko must leverage mobility and pick potential to contest dragon and Rift Herald.

Jungle Plan

Use (Q) and (E) burst combos from fog or brush, followed by disengage to secure quick skirmishes and passive proc movement speed.
Control river vision and use (W) to zone and secure dragon or Rift Herald entrances when lanes have priority.
Track Shyvana's pathing to counter-jungle after her clears, especially before she hits dragon form power spikes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Ekko lacks (R) escape and Shyvana can use (R) engage.
Be cautious contesting dragon early if bot and mid lack priority, as Shyvana's objective control and clear speed can overwhelm.
Low-health clears are vulnerable to Shyvana's fast clear and counter-invades; reset tempo if health is low.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a five-camp clear into a lane with setup to maximize level 3 power spike safety.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid early invades unless Shyvana is tracked on opposite side and lanes can assist; prioritize safe clears to reach level 6.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo, enabling safer burst trades and pick potential; use this to pressure camps and lanes.
Level 6 (R) grants Ekko strong reset and escape, allowing aggressive objective plays and counter-ganks.
After first AP burst item, Ekko's damage and trade reliability increase, so apply more pressure on Shyvana's camps and river control.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 and item power spikes into aggressive counter-jungling and pick setups using (W) and (R).
Use superior mobility to contest dragon and Rift Herald entrances with vision and zoning.
Deny Shyvana free farm by invading safely when lanes have priority, forcing her to fight on Ekko's terms or lose scaling.
