Lux vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must maintain lane pressure and deny Ekko's short trades and all-ins.
Use your high early agency and poke to prevent Ekko from safely scaling and setting up his W stun.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Ekko's overextensions with Q root into burst combos.
Respect Ekko's W setup timing; avoid trading when his stun zone is active or about to trigger.
Capitalize on missed Ekko Q or failed E engages by immediately responding with Q + E + R burst.

Danger windows

Beware of Ekko's W stun zone activation; avoid trading or positioning inside it.
If Ekko uses E to engage but misses Q, he is vulnerable to your immediate counter trades.
Post level 6, respect Ekko's R as it can heal and reposition him, turning fights around.

Early game

Use E to poke and control the wave while threatening Q root to punish Ekko's E engage attempts.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Ekko's burst and mobility.
Pressure Ekko before level 6 to exploit his weak early agency and punish his attempts to trade.

Power spikes

Your major spikes are level 6 with R and your first completed mage item for burst damage.
Respect Ekko's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E trade pattern and stun threat.
Also respect Ekko's level 6 R as a defensive and reset tool that can negate your all-in attempts.

Win conditions

Win by controlling range and wave with E poke and punishing Ekko's missed Q or poor engages with Q root plus burst.
Deny Ekko's scaling by pressuring pre-6 and avoiding giving him safe windows to set up W stuns.
Use your R to finish off low-health Ekko targets after successful Q + E combos to snowball lane dominance.
