| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akshan | Ekko's slow, telegraphed Timewinder gives Akshan free punish windows from level 1 |
| Level 2 | Akshan | Akshan keeps winning trades as Ekko's zone-setup kit remains easy to walk around at level 2 |
| Level 3 | Akshan | Level 3 still favors Akshan — Ekko lacks the burst to punish aggressive all-ins yet |
| Levels 4-5 | Akshan | Akshan's mobility and pressure continue outpacing Ekko's kit through levels 4-5 |
| Level 6 | Akshan | Chronobreak's reset/escape and burst potential let Ekko turn all-ins around, flips to him |
| First item | Ekko | His item spike enables a stun-into-one-shot combo that outdamages Akshan, still Ekko favoured |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Ekko's teamfight stun-and-reset kit gives him the late-game edge over Akshan |
Ekko's Timewinder is a slow, avoidable skillshot, and without it landing he has almost no way to punish your trades, so you can walk him down and win exchanges with your passive stacking. His Parallel Convergence zone takes a few seconds to detonate, giving you time to walk out before it stuns. Keep pressuring every cooldown window through level 5.
