Aurora vs Ekko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use your burst and mobility to find picks and punish Ekko's longer cooldowns.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ekko safe scaling and easy short trades.
Avoid extended trades due to your low range and Ekko's high mobility.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q), follow with (E) for reposition and damage, then reactivate (Q) quickly.
Punish Ekko after he wastes (W) setup or misses (Q) or (E) with quick counter trades.
Avoid extended trades after using (W) since you lose your quick escape and can be punished.

Danger windows

Respect (W) stun setup timing to avoid getting caught in delayed CC.
Avoid trading if Ekko engages with (E) but misses (Q), as he may still punish overcommit.
After Ekko hits level 6, respect his (R) for burst resets and healing in fights.

Early game

Pressure Ekko before level 6 to exploit his low early agency and item dependency.
Use (W) invisibility to dodge (Q) and reposition safely during trades.
Avoid reckless (E) use since its long animation is easy to dodge and leaves you vulnerable.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks high mobility and burst; use it for all-ins, picks, or roams.
First completed AP burst item increases your trade reliability and wave pressure.
Respect Ekko's level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and level 6 (R) for his burst and safety.

Win conditions

Use your mobility and burst to pick off Ekko when his (W) is down or missed.
Deny Ekko safe scaling by pressuring waves and punishing cooldowns before his item spikes.
Reach level 6 and your first AP item to outburst Ekko and snowball through picks and roams.

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