Kha'Zix vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's isolation damage and stealth to punish Ekko's weaker early dueling before level 6.
Focus on creating picks around river and jungle entrances to leverage Kha'Zix's superior objective control and scaling assassin threat.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Ekko's camps when lanes can't collapse and Ekko is below level 6 or without (R).
Use fog and sweeper to approach objectives for picks before starting dragon or Rift Herald.
Track Ekko's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks, especially before he hits level 6 and gains (R).

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights after Ekko hits level 6 due to his (R) reset and (W) stun threat.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Ekko's nearby lanes have priority to collapse on you.
Watch for forced smite fights when low health, as Ekko's burst and mobility can punish overcommitment.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that leads toward lanes where Ekko is isolated or overextended.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Ekko's counter-ganks.
Avoid early river fights without vision since Ekko's mobility and (R) make him hard to punish post-level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth and evolved abilities to isolate and burst Ekko before he can reset with his (R).
After first damage item, increase invade frequency to punish Ekko's slower clear and weaker early dueling.
Respect Ekko's level 3 combo with (Q)-(W)-(E) and his level 6 (R) as windows where he can escape or turn fights.

Win conditions

Convert picks on isolated Ekko or his teammates into dragon or Rift Herald control using vision denial.
Use superior dueling and objective damage to snowball leads through counter-jungling and timely invades.
Leverage fog control and (R) stealth to create skirmishes where Ekko's grouped teamfight strength is minimized.
