Ekko vs Aurora

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin who wants short trades and to punish Aurora's mobility cooldowns.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Aurora safe farming and force her to struggle with her low range and dodgeable E.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then back off using passive movement speed.
Punish Aurora after she uses W since she lacks a quick escape then.
Avoid engaging if Q misses, as you lose trade potential against Aurora's burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your W misses or is interrupted, as it leaves you vulnerable to return damage.
Avoid fighting if you miss Q after engaging with E.
Before level 6, you are more vulnerable to Aurora's burst and mobility.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke and trade before Aurora can safely engage with her W invisibility.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 as Ekko's early agency is low and Aurora can punish missed Q trades.
Keep wave control to prevent Aurora from setting up picks with her burst combo.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E combo enabling effective short trades.
Level 6 R provides safety and burst reset.
Respect Aurora's level 6 for her increased burst and mobility.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stuns to turn trades and using R to dodge Aurora's burst and reset fights.
Deny Aurora farm by punishing her low range and long E animation.
Use short trades and wave control to prevent Aurora from safely scaling or picking you off.

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