Ekko vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ekko should focus on efficient clears and use his mobility and (R) to avoid early river fights where Viego can leverage resets.
Play for mid-game skirmishes and objective control by leveraging (W) stuns to set up picks and zone enemies.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that allows you to hit level 6 quickly and cover lanes that can set up your (W) for ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when your lanes can collapse to secure the first takedown and deny Viego resets.
Use tempo resets to arrive at objectives first, then threaten backline angles with your mobility and burst.

Danger windows

Respect Viego’s level 6 (R) window where he can execute and reposition through resets.
Avoid isolated river fights where Viego’s (E) camouflage and (W) stun can initiate resets.
Be cautious in low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego’s reset potential can turn fights quickly.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp clear into a lane with setup to avoid early risky duels.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to secure safer river control.
Avoid early invades before level 6 to reduce risk from Viego's strong dueling and reset potential.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the unlocked (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to punish Viego’s cooldowns and force him off camps.
At level 6, track your (R) availability to commit to all-ins or defensive resets against Viego’s reset threat.
After your first AP burst item, increase pressure on waves and trades to deny Viego safe farming and scaling.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by using (W) to zone and pick off targets before dragon or Rift Herald fights.
Use your mobility and (R) to counter-gank and punish Viego’s early skirmishes before he gains reset momentum.
Deny Viego farm and reset opportunities by invading only with lane priority and collapsing on his camps to snowball your mid-game power spikes.
