Ekko vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling assassin who wants to disrupt Azir's controlled farming and poke with quick burst trades.
Avoid giving Azir a calm, passive lane to set up soldiers and scale safely; pressure early without overcommitting.

Trading pattern

Engage with Q and E for quick burst, then back off using passive movement speed to avoid Azir's counterpoke.
Punish Azir if he uses Azir E aggressively or misses soldier placement by committing W stun and burst.
Respect Azir R and soldier zones; avoid trades when Azir's soldiers are optimally positioned and R is available.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Azir's soldiers are well placed and Azir R is up, as he can zone or disengage effectively.
Before Ekko hits level 6, he is vulnerable to Azir's poke and soldier DPS.
Avoid engaging if Azir still has Azir E available for repositioning or escape.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to start short trades with Q and E before Azir's soldiers are fully threatening.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 as Azir's poke and soldier DPS can punish.
Deny Azir stable waves to reduce his soldier control and force him into defensive play.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Ekko's full Q-W-E burst combo with stun threat.
Level 6 R provides safety and fight reset potential.
Azir's major spikes at level 6 with Azir R and first completed mage DPS item require caution and respect.

Win conditions

Win by denying Azir a stable farming lane and forcing him to use Azir E or Azir R defensively.
Use short trades with Q and E combined with W stun to burst Azir before he can retaliate.
Reach level 6 and item power spikes to outplay Azir's zone control and reset fights with R.

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