Ekko vs Vex

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ekko is a scaling burst assassin with low early lane pressure against Vex's high early agency and lane control.
Focus on avoiding Vex's passive fear and using short trades to deny her passive lane dominance.

Trading pattern

Use Q and E for quick burst trades, then disengage using your passive movement speed.
Time W to stun after baiting out Vex's fear or when she commits to a trade.
Avoid engaging if Q misses or W setup is interrupted, as you lose trades then.

Danger windows

Vex's passive fear creates danger when you try to trade without baiting it.
Before level 6, you are vulnerable to Vex's burst and fear; avoid risky trades.
When Vex's R is up, be cautious of her all-in resets and avoid extended fights.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Vex's fear and burst can punish you hard.
Use short Q and E bursts to chip and back off before Vex can proc her passive fear.
Respect Vex's lane pressure by not overextending without W stun ready.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E burst combo with stun threat; use this to pressure.
Level 6 R is your key safety and reset tool to survive Vex's burst and all-ins.
Respect Vex's level 6 R engage and her first completed AP item spike for burst damage.

Win conditions

Win by landing W stun after baiting or dodging Vex's fear to secure burst trades.
Use R smartly to dodge key damage and reset fights, turning trades in your favor.
Deny Vex's passive lane dominance by punishing missed fear and forcing short trades on your terms.

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