Talon vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium lane pressure assassin who wants to push and roam against Ekko's low early lane pressure.
Focus on denying Ekko's scaling by forcing him into passive farming and punishing his longer setup times.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W and passive bleed, then threaten Q follow-up for burst.
Punish Ekko when he misses Ekko Q or commits Ekko E without follow-up by engaging aggressively.
Respect Ekko W delay; avoid trading if he can land the stun zone or has shield active.

Danger windows

Respect Ekko's level 3 Q-W-E combo as it enables his burst and stun threat.
Beware Ekko R for burst reset and healing during all-ins.
Avoid extended trades when Ekko's W is active or about to activate for stun and shield.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus W to pressure Ekko and punish his weaker early trades before level 6.
Avoid extended trades when Ekko's W is active to prevent his stun setup.
Push the wave to create roam opportunities and force Ekko to farm under turret.

Power spikes

Talon's level 2 with Q and W grants strong early pressure.
Talon's level 6 R gives burst and stealth to all-in or escape Ekko's counter-engage.
First lethality item spike increases Talon's kill threat before Ekko's AP item spike.

Win conditions

Push waves to unlock E mobility for roams and map pressure.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q or overextended Ekko E to force summoner spells or kills.
Use level 6 R stealth and burst to all-in after forcing Ekko's key cooldowns.

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