Lillia vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lillia's superior clear speed to maintain jungle tempo and reach AP item spikes before Ekko can pressure objectives.
Prioritize avoiding early river fights where Ekko's mobility and (R) can punish low-health clears or forced smite contests.
Focus on controlling objective entrances with (E) and (R) sleep setups to leverage Lillia's teamfight impact against Ekko's mid-game burst.

Jungle Plan

Use fast AoE clear and movement speed to cycle camps and arrive at objectives before Ekko can threaten with (W) zone control.
Invade Ekko's jungle only after confirming his position and cooldown use, especially before his level 6 (R) is available.
Prioritize setting up vision and sleep CC around dragon and Rift Herald entrances to force Ekko into unfavorable fights or zone him from objectives.

Danger windows

Beware early river skirmishes before movement speed stacks and item spikes, as Ekko's mobility and (R) can punish low-health clears.
Avoid isolated fights near objectives when (W) zone and stun are ready, as he can turn fights with proper setup.
Respect forced smite fights and counter-gank timings around level 6 when Ekko's ultimate and burst damage peak.

Early game

Full clear quickly to hit level 4 and reset before Ekko can contest camps or Scuttle.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to back up counter-ganks against Ekko's early gank angles.
Avoid early invades before movement speed stacks and item spikes are active to prevent being caught by Ekko's burst and mobility.

Power spikes

Lillia's first AP item spike and level 6 (R) sleep enable strong objective fight setups; use these to force teamfights before Ekko scales.
Respect Ekko's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo which increases his burst and stun threat; avoid giving him clean engage spacing.
Track Ekko's level 6 (R) availability as his escape and reset tool; only commit to fights when (R) is down or after forcing its use.

Win conditions

Out-clear Ekko to maintain jungle tempo and secure first dragon and Rift Herald before he can contest.
Use (E) and (R) sleep setups to initiate or disengage in objective fights, denying Ekko's zoning and burst potential.
Track Ekko's pathing and cooldowns to counter-gank effectively, punishing his early gank attempts and denying his scaling window.
