Viego vs Ekko

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should focus on river skirmishes where his (W) stun and reset potential can snowball fights into objectives.
Avoid early isolated fights before item power spikes, as Ekko's mobility and (R) make him hard to punish solo.

Jungle Plan

Path to prioritize lanes with crowd control to maximize (W) stun impact and reset chains.
Fight for river control and dragon vision when lanes can collapse, using resets to force Ekko back.
Counter-invade after Ekko's first clear if he shows on the opposite side and lanes have priority, denying his scaling and tempo.

Danger windows

Early river fights before Viego reaches level 6 or item power spikes are risky due to Ekko's mobility and (R).
Isolated skirmishes without lane support can lead to Ekko's reset chains turning fights.
Objective setups where Ekko can use (W) zone to block or stun require careful positioning and vision control to avoid losing fights.

Early game

Start with a clear that balances health and tempo to reach level 3 for early (W) gank setups.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support skirmishes.
Avoid fighting Ekko alone early; shadow lanes with CC to leverage (W) stun for ganks or counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for execute and repositioning, enabling Viego to start reset chains; look for fights where one low target triggers a cleanup.
First fighter item increases sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes with priority to convert kills into objectives.
Ekko's level 6 (R) and AP item spikes require respecting his burst and disengage tools; avoid forced fights when these are available.

Win conditions

Use (W) stun to initiate fights with lane or jungle support, then leverage resets through (R) executions to snowball objectives.
Control river vision and fight around dragon and Rift Herald when lanes have priority to deny Ekko's scaling.
Counter-jungle safely after Ekko commits to lanes, using superior dueling post-item to deny his farm and force him into teamfights where Viego excels.
