Diana vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast clear speed to hit level 6 before Ekko and prepare for objective fights where (R) can impact multiple targets.
Prioritize protecting your farming tempo and avoid early river fights where Ekko's mobility and (W) setup can punish you.
This is a mid-paced snowball vs scale jungle matchup; leverage your burst and objective control to pressure before Ekko scales.

Jungle Plan

Use your fast AoE clear to reach level 6 first and force objective fights where your (R) can catch multiple enemies.
Contest Scuttle only when your nearby lanes have priority to avoid losing burst trades or getting stunned by (W).
Cross-map when Ekko invades with stronger lane priority to punish his lower invade resistance before level 6.

Danger windows

Respect (W) stun setup in fog or river entrances; avoid isolated fights where he can control space.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where (R) and mobility make him hard to punish.
Avoid invading or contesting objectives when Ekko's nearby lanes have priority or when his (R) is available for counterplay.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward the safest reset to maximize level 3 power spike and item timing.
Avoid early river fights or Scuttle contests unless nearby lanes have priority to prevent Ekko from using (W) to zone or stun.
Track Ekko's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks, especially before he hits level 6 and gains (R) safety.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) combo with dash reset and shield; use it to trade aggressively when minions and cooldowns align.
Level 6 (R) is your all-in and teamfight threat; track (R) cooldown to know when you can commit safely.
First completed AP skirmish item boosts your damage and trade reliability; increase pressure on Ekko after this point.

Win conditions

Convert your level 6 and item spikes into objective control by forcing fights around dragon and Rift Herald with your (R).
Use your burst combo to punish Ekko when he overextends or misses (E), denying him farm and jungle tempo.
Track Ekko's pathing and set up counter-ganks with lanes that have priority to secure kills and snowball leads.
