Ahri vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's high early agency and lane pressure to deny Ekko a calm scaling mid lane.
Focus on controlling wave tempo to enable short trades and create roam or river pressure after level 6.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and (W) for poke and hold (E) to punish Ekko's forward movement or missed (E).
Avoid throwing (E) without a clear punish window since (W) stun can turn trades against you.
Extend trades only when (R) is available to safely disengage or chase.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) stun is ready and well-positioned to avoid getting caught.
Avoid overcommitting when your (R) is down since you lack reliable escape.
If you miss (E), expect Ekko to punish aggressively with his (E) and (Q) burst.

Early game

Abuse Ekko's low early agency by poking with (Q) and (W) and punishing his missed (Q) or forward movement without (W) ready.
Avoid extended trades before (R) as Ekko's burst and stun can punish overcommitment.
Hold the wave near your side to maintain short trade windows and deny Ekko free farm.

Power spikes

Respect Ekko's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and avoid giving him clean setup space.
Use Ahri's level 6 (R) for safer all-ins, picks, and roams, tracking (R) cooldown to avoid retaliation.
After your first completed mage item, increase pressure on waves and trades while respecting Ekko's item spike.

Win conditions

Land (E) after Ekko uses mobility or defensive cooldowns to pick him off and snowball.
Use wave control to create roam or river pressure post-level 6 with (R) to impact other lanes.
Deny Ekko safe scaling by consistently pressuring with (Q) poke and punishing his all-in setups.

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