Zilean vs Ekko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Control wave zones with bombs to limit Ekko's short trade setups.
Use (E) speed to maintain spacing and avoid his (E) engage.
Hold (R) to negate Ekko's all-in burst or reset attempts.

Trading pattern

Prioritize double bomb stuns on slowed or stationary targets for trades.
Use (E) speed to kite or disengage after (E) dash trades.
Punish missed (Q) or (W) by stepping forward with bomb zones and ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect (W) stun setup, which requires space and time to activate.
Avoid overextending when (R) is available, as he can dodge damage and reset fights.
Be cautious if Ekko hits (E) engage but misses (Q), as he becomes vulnerable to counterplay.

Early game

Track level 2 to use (Q) stun plus (E) speed for early trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Ekko lacks (R) safety.
Use wave control to prevent Ekko from setting up (W) stuns in fog or brush.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your bomb plus speed combo, enabling safer trades.
Level 3 grants (W) for double bomb threat, increasing poke and control.
Level 6 (R) provides a clutch revive to counter Ekko's burst and skirmish resets.

Win conditions

Use double bomb stuns and (E) speed to create kill windows with your ADC.
Save (R) for key burst or dive attempts to deny Ekko's kill potential.
Control mid wave timing to deny Ekko safe setups for his (W) and roams.

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