Udyr vs Ekko

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling power let him dictate jungle tempo and contest river control early.
Use fast clears to secure early Scuttle and punish Ekko's slower rotations before his level 6 power spike.

Jungle Plan

Start with a full clear, then prioritize invading Ekko's jungle when lanes have priority and Ekko is away or low health.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can control river entrances and exits to reduce Ekko's escape options.
Use superior clear speed and dueling to set tempo around dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Ekko into reactive plays and denying his scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Ekko can stun with (W) and reposition with (E), making counter-ganks risky.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available, as he can reset fights and heal, turning skirmishes against you.
Watch for Ekko's early gank setups using fogged (W); maintain vision control to reduce surprise engages.

Early game

Full clear quickly to hit level 3 first and decide between invading or contesting Scuttle based on lane priority.
Avoid early river fights if Ekko's lanes lack priority or if (R) is up, as his mobility and reset can punish overcommit.
Prioritize invading or counter-invading when nearby lanes can assist to secure camps or force Ekko off objectives.

Power spikes

Udyr's level 3 spike grants strong dueling and invade potential; use it to contest camps and pressure Ekko before his full combo is unlocked.
Udyr's empowered stance and (E) stun provide a mid-game tempo window to force objectives and skirmishes before Ekko completes key AP items.
Ekko's level 6 (R) unlocks his escape and reset, so respect this window by avoiding forced fights and punishing him after its cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling into consistent counter-jungling to deny Ekko farm and delay his item spikes.
Use lane priority to secure Scuttle and dragon control, forcing Ekko into defensive pathing and limiting his impact.
Leverage Udyr's mid-game tempo to pressure Rift Herald and dragon, snowballing advantages into objective leads and map control.
