Ekko vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling AP assassin who must avoid giving Renekton early lane pressure and deny him fury stacks for empowered trades.
Focus on surviving early bursts and using short trades to chip Renekton before reaching your power spikes.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and (E) for quick burst trades, then disengage immediately to avoid Renekton's retaliatory damage.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) dashes forward by stepping up for short trades.
Avoid engaging with (E) if your (Q) will miss, as you will likely lose extended trades.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun and burst when his fury is high.
Be cautious when Renekton has both (E) casts available, as he can dash in and out to trade or all-in.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when you lack (R) for safety and burst reset.

Early game

Play cautiously before level 6 to avoid Renekton's high early agency and burst trades.
Use minion waves to create spacing and avoid getting stunned by his empowered (W).
Prioritize hitting level 3 quickly to unlock your full trade combo and threaten short trades.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to threaten trades and force Renekton to respect your burst.
At level 6, leverage (R) for all-ins, picks, or defensive resets against Renekton's all-in potential.
After your first AP burst item, increase pressure on waves and trades, but remain aware of (R) durability boost.

Win conditions

Win by executing short trades with (Q) and (E) around Renekton's cooldowns and punishing his fury management.
Use well-timed (W) stuns to turn fights in your favor and create pick opportunities.
Leverage (R) to dodge key damage or reset fights, then roam or pressure side lanes to snowball your lead.
