Neeko vs Ekko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko controls lane pressure with strong poke and root setup to deny Ekko safe farming and scaling.
Focus on using disguise and minion wave positioning to create uncertainty and force Ekko into defensive play.

Trading pattern

Fish for E angles through minions to root Ekko and chain into Q for burst damage.
Respect Ekko's Ekko W setup delay; punish if it misses or is not positioned well.
Use W and passive disguise to mask engage timing and bait Ekko's Ekko E dash.

Danger windows

Ekko W stun zone setup creates a dangerous all-in window; avoid clustering to reduce R impact.
Ekko R provides a heal and burst reset; be cautious when it is available.
Missing E or using R when Ekko can disengage lowers Neeko's all-in threat and opens risk windows.

Early game

Pressure Ekko early since he has low early agency and lane pressure.
Use E through minions to root and follow with Q burst to punish Ekko's short trades.
Avoid extended trades if E misses to prevent giving Ekko an opening.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in and teamfight threat to capitalize on grouped enemies or picks.
Neeko's first completed AP burst item significantly increases kill pressure.
Respect Ekko's level 3 spike when he unlocks his Q-W-E combo and level 6 Ekko R for his defensive reset and burst.

Win conditions

Use disguise and E root through minions to create picks or force Ekko out of lane control.
Leverage R threat in teamfights to control space and punish grouped enemies.
Deny Ekko safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing his cooldowns before level 6.

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