Ekko vs Veigar

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a mobile assassin who wants to pressure Veigar early and deny his safe stacking to prevent his late-game burst.
Focus on short trades using Q and E to avoid prolonged fights where Veigar E and burst can punish you.

Trading pattern

Trade with Q and E quickly, then back off before Veigar can respond with Veigar E or Veigar R burst.
Punish Veigar when his Veigar E is on cooldown by engaging short trades and threatening all-ins.
Use W to stun when Veigar is trapped or overextended, but be wary of its delay to avoid taking return damage.

Danger windows

Veigar's Veigar E cage is the biggest threat; avoid engaging when it is available and ready.
Before level 6, you are vulnerable to Veigar's burst if caught without your R safety.
Missing Q or W setup leaves you open to Veigar's counter trades and burst damage.

Early game

Use your mobility and short trades to harass Veigar before level 6, as he has low early agency and lane pressure.
Avoid committing if Veigar E is ready, as getting caught means losing trades or summoner spells.
Keep the wave in a position that denies Veigar calm farming and stacking opportunities.

Power spikes

Major spikes to respect are Veigar's level 6 Veigar R burst and your own level 6 R for safety and reset.
Your level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo enables stronger short trades and stun setups.
The first completed AP burst item significantly improves your kill threat and trade potential.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar safe farming and stacking by applying early pressure with short trades and wave control.
Use your W stun to create kill opportunities when Veigar mispositions or his Veigar E is down.
Survive early game weaknesses and leverage your level 6 R and burst item to all-in and snowball the lane.
