Ekko vs Syndra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin who wants to use short trades with Q and E plus a well-timed W stun to punish Syndra's immobility.
Avoid giving Syndra free poke and space to set up spheres and Syndra E, as she controls lane pressure moderately early.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then disengage with passive movement speed to avoid Syndra E stun.
Punish Syndra when her Syndra E is down or missed to all-in safely.
Be wary engaging if Q misses, as you lose trading advantage and Syndra can counterattack with poke or Syndra E.

Danger windows

Syndra's Syndra E stun setup is the main threat; respect its cooldown and sphere placement.
Pre-6 you are vulnerable to Syndra's poke and Syndra E stun burst.
Missing your W stun or Q engage leaves you exposed to Syndra's counter trades and Syndra R all-in.

Early game

Play cautiously before level 6 since Ekko has low early agency and Syndra can punish missed engages.
Use level 3 power spike to unlock your full Q-W-E trade combo and look for quick trades before Syndra sets up spheres.
Avoid extended fights where Syndra can land Syndra E stun and burst with Syndra R.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Ekko's full Q-W-E combo with stun threat.
Level 6 grants R for safety and burst reset.
First completed AP burst item increases your kill threat significantly; respect Syndra's level 6 Syndra R burst and first item spike as well.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun to enable quick Q-E burst trades and then disengaging safely.
Punish Syndra's lack of mobility and Syndra E cooldown to force short trades or all-ins.
Use R to dodge Syndra R burst or reset fights, then capitalize on her immobility to snowball lane control.
