Elise into Ekkomedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank and invade pressure to disrupt Ekko's safer farming path.
Prioritize early river control and three-camp clears into ganks or invades before Ekko hits level 6.
Exploit Ekko's lower early game agency by forcing fights before his ultimate is available.

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's objective setups.
Track Ekko's pathing to counter-gank and punish his reliance on setup and cooldown for safety.

Beware of stun setup in fog or with lane help, which can turn fights against you.
Avoid isolated river fights when Ekko's 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.

Start with a three-camp clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early ganks or invades.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse and punish Ekko.
Avoid full clears that allow Ekko to safely scale; path to invade or counter-gank when he shows on the map.

Elise's level 3 unlock grants lethal -- burst and stun to punish Ekko before his ultimate.
Respect Ekko's level 6 as a reset and escape tool; avoid forcing fights when it's available.
Increase pressure after Ekko completes his first AP burst item to deny his scaling and objective control.

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.
