Ekko vs Vi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ekko's high clear speed to reach level 6 safely and avoid early river fights where Vi's early gank threat is strongest.
Prioritize covering lanes with setup for (W) stuns to enable ganks and counter-ganks rather than forcing early invades.
Focus on scaling through efficient clears and use (R) to dodge Vi's lockdown and reset fights mid to late game.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears into lanes with strong setup to land (W) stuns and secure kills or force flashes.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Vi has shown a predictable pathing.
Use tempo resets to arrive at objectives first and deny Vi access to dragons and Rift Herald by zoning with (W).

Danger windows

Avoid early river fights before level 6 where Vi's (Q) dash and high early pressure can punish you.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Vi's strong dueling and lockdown can secure kills.
Respect Vi's post-6 pick threat with (R) knockup; avoid isolated skirmishes without vision or lane priority.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp clear before looking for ganks where lanes have priority and setup for (W).
Avoid early river contests unless nearby lanes can move first to support a Scuttle fight.
Track Vi's pathing to anticipate her early ganks and be ready to counter-gank or reset tempo with your mobility and (R).

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo; use this to trade aggressively when minion waves and cooldowns align for quick burst and disengage.
Level 6 (R) is a major spike; use it to dodge Vi's (R) lockdown or reset fights after an all-in.
First completed AP burst item increases your damage and trade reliability; pressure lanes and objectives more confidently after this.

Win conditions

Convert efficient clears and level 6 power into timely ganks with (W) setup to snowball lanes and force enemy summoners.
Use mobility and (R) to safely counter-jungle and contest objectives, denying Vi's scaling and objective control.
Leverage side-lane pressure and reset-based dives after picks to extend map control and secure dragons and Rift Herald.
