Ekko vs Shen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ekko's high clear speed to full clear or five-camp before looking for ganks with lane setup.
Avoid early river fights that deny your passive procs or risk Shen's taunt engage.
Focus on scaling through AP items and level 6 (R) to become a strong mid-game skirmisher and pick threat.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient clears and prioritize lanes with setup to land (W) stuns for ganks.
Fight for Scuttle only when lane priority supports it; otherwise, focus on clean clears and scaling.
Use tempo resets to arrive first at objectives or ganks, punishing Shen's lower early invade resistance before level 6.

Danger windows

Avoid early fights before level 6 when you are easier to kill and lack (R) safety.
Respect (E) taunt and (W) attack block during short trades to avoid getting locked down.
Beware of forced smite fights or isolated river skirmishes where Shen's global (R) can turn numbers advantage.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp into a lane with setup to maximize early pressure.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky river fights.
Use fogged (W) before dragon or Void Grubs to control entrances and secure objectives safely.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo: use it to trade when minions and cooldowns favor you.
Level 6 (R) gives a strong safety net and burst reset: use it for aggressive all-ins or defensive escapes.
First completed AP item boosts damage and trade reliability: pressure lanes and objectives more confidently then.

Win conditions

Convert clean clears and (W) gank setups into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to dodge key damage or reset fights, enabling picks and side-lane pressure.
Deny Shen's scaling by punishing his lane when (R) is down and invading with lane priority support.
