Ekko vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin with low early lane pressure who must manage short trades and avoid giving Anivia free wave control.
Focus on denying Anivia a passive farming lane by using mobility and quick trades to disrupt her zoning and waveclear.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E to burst quickly, then back off to avoid Anivia's return damage if your W stun setup fails.
Punish Anivia when she misses Anivia Q by engaging with your W stun and E gap closer.
Respect Anivia's R slow zone and avoid prolonged fights inside it; use your mobility to reposition.

Danger windows

Before level 6, Ekko is easier to kill if caught by Anivia's stun (Anivia Q) and follow-up damage.
Be cautious when your W misses its stun window, as you will take return damage.
Avoid extended trades inside Anivia's R zone due to her slow and damage.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Ekko is vulnerable to Anivia's crowd control and burst.
Use Q and E for quick poke and disengage if Anivia misses her stun (Anivia Q).
Watch for Anivia setting up her W to block your movement and force you into her stun.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Ekko level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E combo; level 6 R provides safety and reset potential; first AP item increases burst.
Respect Anivia's spike after level 6 and Lost Chapter when her waveclear and zoning become very strong.
Anivia's R creates a zone that is hard to siege into, so avoid fighting inside it without advantage.

Win conditions

Win by using your mobility and W stun to force short trades when Anivia's Q is down.
Deny Anivia free farming by punishing missed skillshots and preventing her from establishing zone control.
Use R to dodge key damage and reset fights, enabling aggressive all-ins after level 6 and item spikes.
