Irelia vs Ekko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia should use her high early agency and mobility to pressure Ekko and deny his scaling opportunities.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Ekko from safely using his short trades and setup with Ekko W.

Trading pattern

Stack passive and use Q resets to engage only when E or R can mark Ekko for stun or slow.
Avoid fighting without passive stacks or Q reset paths to prevent being punished by Ekko's burst.
Respect Ekko W delay; if it misses, follow up quickly to punish his vulnerability.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ekko's Ekko W is about to activate for a stun setup.
Avoid committing without Q resets or passive stacks, as Ekko can punish missed engages.
Ekko's level 6 R can negate your burst and heal him, so avoid all-ins without cooldown advantage.

Early game

Level 2 with Q and E is a strong point to threaten extended trades before Ekko hits level 3.
Use minion waves to stack passive and create Q reset paths for aggressive trades.
Punish Ekko if he misses Ekko Q or Ekko W setup by committing with E and Q resets.

Power spikes

Irelia's major spikes: level 2 with Q and E, level 6 with R, and first completed fighter item.
Ekko's major spikes: level 3 unlocking Q-W-E combo, level 6 with R, and first AP burst item.
Respect Ekko R as a safety and burst reset that can turn fights against you.

Win conditions

Use wave control to create Q reset paths and extend trades when Ekko's key abilities are on cooldown.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q or Ekko W by engaging with E stun and Q resets.
Deny Ekko a calm scaling lane by maintaining lane pressure and converting early kills into side pressure.

Tip: For Irelia vs Ekko, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
