Yasuo vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile melee skirmisher who relies on Q and E for trades and needs minion waves for mobility.
Pressure Ekko early to deny his scaling and avoid letting him set up W stuns for all-ins.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to engage and control space.
Use W to block Ekko Q projectiles but respect that it won't block W or R.
Punish Ekko when he misses Ekko Q or when Ekko W is not activated yet to avoid his stun.

Danger windows

When Yasuo's W is down, he loses key projectile defense and becomes vulnerable.
Ekko's W stun zone activation is delayed but punishing its setup is crucial.
Avoid fighting Ekko when his R is available and you lack your own knockup for R follow-up.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q plus E to trade aggressively before Ekko hits level 3.
Avoid extended trades when W is down to reduce Ekko's poke and stun threat.
Control the minion wave to maintain E mobility and punish Ekko's missed Q or W setups.

Power spikes

Yasuo's major spikes: level 2 (Q+E), level 6 (R with knockup), and first completed item.
Ekko's major spikes: level 3 (Q-W-E trade pattern), level 6 (Ekko R), and first AP burst item.
Respect Ekko's level 6 R as a reset and healing tool during all-ins.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to maintain mobility and force short trades around minions.
Deny Ekko the chance to set up W stuns by pressuring him before level 6.
All-in with R after landing knockup from Q tornado or minion dash combo to burst Ekko down quickly.

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