Ziggs vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs is a high poke artillery mage aiming to control lane with long-range Q and E poke and waveclear.
Pressure Ekko early to deny his short-trade burst pattern and prevent him from scaling safely.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from outside Ekko's engage range, control approach with E, and save W to disengage Ekko's all-in attempts.
Punish Ekko when he misses Ekko Q or wastes Ekko W setup by stepping forward with Q poke.
Avoid trading when W is on cooldown as Ziggs is vulnerable to Ekko's burst and mobility.

Danger windows

Ekko is dangerous when Ekko W is active and can stun; respect its setup delay and avoid predictable paths.
When Ziggs uses W, he loses his main peel, making him vulnerable to Ekko's Ekko E engage.
Before level 6, Ekko is easier to punish if he misses Ekko Q or Ekko W setup.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke Ekko from distance and keep him at bay before level 6.
Avoid standing close enough for Ekko to engage with Ekko E when W is down.
Prioritize waveclear to prevent Ekko from safely setting up his W stun or short trades.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: level 6 R for cross-map impact and first completed mage poke item.
Ekko major spikes: level 3 unlocks Q-W-E burst combo, and level 6 R for safety and reset.
Respect Ekko's level 3 all-in threat and level 6 ultimate safety when trading or poking.

Win conditions

Use superior range and waveclear to keep Ekko low and deny his short trades and scaling.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q and Ekko W setups with Q poke and E zoning.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W execute on low plates and force Ekko to respond under tower.

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