Evelynn vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn's early game pressure is limited; focus on clean full clears and avoid early river fights against Ekko's mobility and (R) reset.
This matchup is a scaling assassin duel where Evelynn must survive early invades and leverage post-6 camouflage for picks and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Use a safe full clear path and avoid predictable river routes until level 6 to reduce risk from Ekko's early mobility and (W) stun setup.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to prevent Ekko from using his (W) zone to control objectives.
After level 6, leverage camouflage to cross-map and punish overextended or isolated targets, focusing on side lanes with weak vision.

Danger windows

Early game low-health clears near river expose Evelynn to Ekko's high mobility invade; avoid these paths until level 6.
Isolated river fights before level 6 are risky due to (W) stun and (E) dash; only contest with lane priority or counter-gank support.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Void Grubs are dangerous before Evelynn can threaten picks; prioritize vision and wait for camouflage power spike.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear to reach level 6 without disruption, avoiding low-health paths near river where Ekko can invade.
Skip contesting first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights against Ekko's high invade resistance.
Track Ekko's position to anticipate his early ganks and be ready to counter-gank with lane priority.

Power spikes

Evelynn spikes at level 6 with camouflage and (R) for picks; use this to create flanks and force objectives.
Respect Ekko's level 3 when he unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his level 6 (R) for defensive resets; avoid forced fights during these windows.
After Ekko completes his first AP item, expect stronger pressure and adjust pathing to avoid unfavorable skirmishes.

Win conditions

Survive early invade pressure by clean full clears and avoiding risky river paths until level 6.
Use post-6 camouflage to create picks on overextended or isolated enemies, then convert pressure into dragon or Rift Herald control.
Cross-map after level 6 to exploit Ekko's lower invade resistance and force him into teamfights where Evelynn's AP burst and stealth excel.
