Ekko vs Lux

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin with low early agency and low lane pressure against Lux's high early pressure poke and root.
Focus on surviving Lux's poke and avoid giving her free binding opportunities to prevent falling behind early.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then disengage with passive movement speed before Lux can retaliate.
Punish Lux when she misses Lux Q by engaging quickly to avoid her poke and binding follow-up.
Time W to stun after engaging with Q and E to turn trades in your favor, but avoid committing if W setup is interrupted or missed.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Lux's Lux Q is available as it roots and sets up her full combo.
Avoid prolonged trades if your W is on cooldown or missed, as you lose stun and shield advantage.
Pre-6 is a vulnerable window; Lux's poke and root can punish your lower survivability and damage.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Lux's poke and root can punish your lower early power.
Use minion waves to block Lux Q and look for short Q+E trades when Lux Q is on cooldown.
Prioritize farming safely and look for W stun setups only when Lux's key abilities are down.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E combo with stun threat and dash mobility.
Level 6 R provides a strong safety net and burst reset to survive Lux's all-ins.
Respect Lux's level 6 Lux R and her first completed mage item for her burst potential.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stuns after dodging Lux Q and following up with Q and E burst trades.
Use R to dodge Lux's burst or reset fights to survive and outscale.
Deny Lux's poke by punishing missed Lux Q and forcing short trades to reach your scaling power spikes.
