Volibear into Ekkomedium

Overview

Use Volibear's superior early dueling and clear speed to contest river and first Scuttle crab.
Deny Ekko's safe farming by invading post-clear and controlling vision around dragon and Void Grubs.
Leverage your strong gank threat and tower dive potential after level 6 to snowball lanes and objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong dive potential and lane priority to maximize tower dive threat after level 6.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can move first and secure vision denying Ekko's objective access.
Use tempo leads from early river fights to invade Ekko's jungle camps before he completes his AP item and scaling window.

Danger windows

Respect Ekko's delayed stun setup and mobility in isolated river fights.
Avoid forced smite fights before level 6 when Ekko's reset is unavailable but burst can punish low-health clears.
Be cautious after Ekko completes his first AP item and hits level 6, as his burst and reset spike significantly.

Early game

Prioritize a healthy, fast clear to hit level 3 quickly and contest first Scuttle when lanes have priority.
Avoid direct invades before level 3 unless lanes can follow due to Ekko's mobility and reset.
Use level 3 power spike to threaten counter-invades and establish vision for dragon and Rift Herald setups.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full combo; force brawls where stun and second healing dominate trades.
Level 6 enables tower dives and turret disables; leverage health leads and wave crashes to force Ekko off objectives.
First bruiser or tank item boosts durability; pressure skirmishes while tracking Ekko's disengage tools.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and river control into dragon and Rift Herald objectives to snowball lanes for dives.
Use stun and tower disables to execute coordinated dives with lanes after level 6.
Deny Ekko's scaling by invading post-clear windows and contesting vision, limiting his mid-game burst and roam potential.
