Veigar vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency who must manage safe farming and E cooldowns against Ekko's mobility.
Prioritize a controlled lane near safety to farm Q stacks and avoid giving Ekko free short trades or all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Ekko steps into E range, then burst with R if he's low enough.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q or failed Ekko W setup by landing cage and follow-up burst.
Respect Ekko's Ekko W stun setup and Ekko R safety, avoiding trades if Ekko's defensive cooldowns are available.

Danger windows

Veigar is most vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Ekko's Ekko W stun or Ekko R is available.
Avoid pushing the wave too far without E ready to prevent Ekko's mobility and burst punishing your immobility.
Be cautious of Ekko's level 6 all-in potential with Ekko R and Ekko W stun combo.

Early game

Focus on farming quietly and stacking Q without pushing the wave to avoid Ekko's short trades with Ekko Q and Ekko E.
Use E to punish predictable Ekko movement and prevent his all-in attempts before level 6.
Avoid extended trades when E is down to reduce vulnerability to Ekko's burst and mobility.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R burst and first completed mage item combined with Q stack growth.
Ekko's major spikes are level 3 unlock of Ekko Q-W-E combo and level 6 Ekko R defensive burst.
Respect Ekko's power spikes by playing more cautiously and preserving E for defense or counter-engage.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure and safely farm Q stacks to maximize late-game burst potential.
Use E to trap Ekko during his cooldowns and punish with full combo and R execute.
Deny Ekko short trades by spacing well and forcing him to miss Ekko W setups, reducing his kill pressure.
