Ekko vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin who wants short trades and to avoid giving Yasuo free all-ins.
Yasuo has medium early agency and lane pressure, so Ekko must deny Yasuo's wave control and avoid passive laning.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E to poke and proc passive, then disengage before Yasuo stacks Q or finds knockup opportunities.
Respect Yasuo W cooldown; when it is down, you can safely land Q and W for stun setup.
Avoid engaging if your W is missed or Yasuo W is up to prevent taking return damage.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when he has a second Q tornado knockup ready and R available for follow-up.
Avoid extended trades when Yasuo's W is up as it blocks many projectiles.
Be cautious before level 6 when you lack R safety and Yasuo can pressure you heavily.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Yasuo's mobility and knockup can punish missed Q or W setups.
Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then back off to avoid Yasuo's counter-engage.
Keep wave control to limit Yasuo's E mobility which requires minion targets.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E combo with stun threat and dash access; use it to trade aggressively.
Level 6 R is a key survival and burst reset tool against Yasuo's all-ins.
Yasuo spikes at level 2 with Q plus E mobility and at 6 with R if he has knockup access; respect these windows.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun combos after baiting Yasuo W or when it is down.
Use R to dodge Yasuo's burst and reset trades for sustained all-ins.
Deny Yasuo wave control to limit his mobility and force him into unfavorable trades.

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