Elise vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Elise must leverage her very high early gank and invade pressure to disrupt Ekko's safer farming and scaling path.
Prioritize early river control and three-camp clears into ganks or invades to snowball lanes before Ekko hits level 6 and his ultimate safety.

Jungle Plan

Use early three-camp into invade or gank paths to pressure Ekko before his level 6 and item spikes.
Contest Scuttle and river vision aggressively when your lanes have priority to deny Ekko safe objective setups.
Track Ekko's pathing to counter-gank his early pressure and punish his reliance on (W) setup and (R) cooldown for safety.

Danger windows

Beware of (W) stun setup in fog or with lane help, which can turn fights against you.
Avoid isolated river fights when (R) is up, as he can escape or reset skirmishes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Ekko has lane priority or can arrive first with his mobility and ultimate.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks or invades before Ekko completes his first clear.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and punish Ekko's lower early game agency.
Avoid full clears that let Ekko scale safely; instead, path to invade or counter-gank when Ekko shows on the map early.

Power spikes

Elise's level 3 unlock gives lethal (Q)-(W)-(E) burst and stun to punish Ekko before his ultimate.
Respect Ekko's level 6 (R) as a reset and escape tool; avoid forcing fights when it's available.
After Ekko completes his first AP burst item, increase pressure on lanes and objectives to deny his scaling.

Win conditions

Convert early gank and invade leads into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball lanes.
Use Elise's strong early dueling and CC to punish Ekko's pre-level 6 vulnerability and deny his scaling.
Maintain river vision and track Ekko's ultimate cooldown to time aggressive dives and counter-jungling safely.
