Warwick vs Ekko

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's early dueling and sustain let him contest river and punish Ekko's pre-6 aggression.
Prioritize early fights around low-health lanes to leverage Warwick's strong skirmishing and suppression.

Jungle Plan

Path toward volatile lanes where (W) can track low-health targets for early picks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can move first to secure objective vision.
Use early dueling strength to punish Ekko's full clears and force him off camps before his item spikes.

Danger windows

Beware (W) stun setup and (E) mobility around level 3-6, which can turn fights if Warwick overcommits.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where (R) can reset trades and escape.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Ekko's mobility and stun enable strong counterplays.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early river Scuttle control.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid extended invades before level 6 as Ekko's mobility and (R) give him strong escape potential.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Warwick's full kit, enabling strong extended trades using (E) to absorb burst and (Q) for sustain.
Level 6 (R) allows Warwick to force picks and all-ins from range, crucial to punish Ekko before his (R) is up.
Ekko's first completed AP item increases his burst, so intensify pressure before this spike to deny his scaling.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing vision and forcing Ekko off river.
Use (W) tracking to target low-health enemies and set up suppression (R) picks to snowball lanes.
Deny Ekko free farm and item spikes by invading camps when lanes have priority and punishing his full clears.
