Twisted Fate vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate should focus on controlling the wave and holding Gold Card to punish Ekko's all-in attempts.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ekko safe scaling and avoid giving him easy short trades.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Gold Card is ready to punish Ekko's approach or missed Ekko Q.
Use Q poke and autos to control the wave and discourage Ekko's short trades with Ekko Q and Ekko E.
Avoid committing if Ekko's Ekko W stun zone is active or if Gold Card is not available for follow-up.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ekko sets up Ekko W stun as it can turn short trades against you.
Avoid trading or roaming without Gold Card ready to prevent being punished by Ekko's burst or mobility.
When Ekko's Ekko R is available, respect his ability to reset fights and heal, especially in all-ins.

Early game

Use Q to clear waves and keep Ekko from freely engaging with Ekko E and Q trades before level 6.
Avoid extended duels early since Ekko's all-in with Ekko W stun can be deadly if Gold Card is unavailable.
Prioritize wave control to enable safe roams or R plays after level 6.

Power spikes

Twisted Fate's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed AP or utility item.
Ekko's major spikes are level 3 unlock of Ekko Q-W-E combo, level 6 Ekko R, and first AP burst item.
Respect Ekko's level 3 power spike when his stun combo becomes available and his level 6 safety with Ekko R.

Win conditions

Use wave priority and Gold Card threat to force Ekko to play defensively and deny his scaling.
Leverage level 6 R to create side lane pressure and secure kills with allies.
Punish Ekko's missed Ekko Q or failed Ekko W setups with quick Gold Card trades and roams.
