Qiyana vs Ekko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Qiyana aims to pressure Ekko early to deny his scaling and force him into passive play.
Manage elements and terrain control to maximize burst potential and roam impact against Ekko's low early agency.

Trading pattern

Set the correct element with W and use Q to poke or root before committing with E when Ekko's mobility or Ekko Q is down.
Avoid committing E without lethal threat or escape, as Ekko can punish missed engages.
Prioritize trades near terrain or brush to maximize R threat and punish Ekko's longer W setup time.

Danger windows

Respect Ekko W stun setup and avoid extended trades while it is active.
Avoid all-ins when Ekko R is available as he can heal and reset fights.
Be cautious if Ekko successfully lands Ekko E and Ekko Q combo, especially before your R is ready.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to set elements and threaten burst trades before Ekko has his full combo.
Pressure Ekko before level 6 to punish his weaker early trading and prevent him from safely farming.
Maintain access to brush or walls to leverage element advantage and prepare for river skirmishes.

Power spikes

Qiyana's level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E burst combo and element control.
Qiyana's level 6 R is a major terrain-based stun and burst threat.
Ekko's level 3 Q-W-E combo and level 6 Ekko R must be respected to avoid lethal counter-engages.

Win conditions

Use element swaps and terrain control to burst Ekko quickly before he scales.
Punish Ekko's cooldowns, especially after he uses Ekko E or misses Ekko Q, with E engage into R stun.
Snowball river and flank fights leveraging R's terrain stun to deny Ekko's scaling and roam impact.

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