Ekko vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling assassin with low early agency who must pressure Aurelion Sol early to prevent him from farming safely.
Deny Aurelion Sol a passive lane by punishing his weak early game and avoiding extended trades before level 6.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then disengage using passive movement speed to avoid Aurelion Sol's poke.
Time W to stun after baiting Aurelion Sol's Aurelion Sol Q or W to maximize trade damage.
Avoid engaging if Q misses or W setup is interrupted to prevent losing trades.

Danger windows

Before level 6, Ekko is vulnerable to Aurelion Sol's poke and should avoid extended trades.
Missing Q or W setup exposes Ekko to counter damage; avoid committing if abilities are uncertain.
After Aurelion Sol completes key items and upgrades ultimate, respect his increased roaming and zone control by playing safer.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to engage quick Q-W-E trades before Aurelion Sol has full kit access.
Punish Aurelion Sol before he can use Aurelion Sol Q and W effectively by dodging and engaging fast.
Avoid prolonged trades pre-6 as Ekko is more vulnerable and Aurelion Sol can poke with E into Q.

Power spikes

Ekko's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo and level 6 R provide major burst and safety power spikes.
Ekko's first completed AP item significantly boosts all-in threat.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike when his ultimate upgrades and Rylais is completed, increasing his roaming and teamfight impact.

Win conditions

Use early level 3 power spike to force short trades and deny Aurelion Sol safe farm.
Land a well-timed W stun to enable burst all-ins and snowball lane control.
Use R to dodge Aurelion Sol's poke or burst damage and reset fights, securing kills or safe escapes.
