| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | You maintain lane control by dodging Parallel Convergence setups and poking freely |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Your item lead widens the damage gap heading into his key power spike |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Petrifying Gaze threatens to shut down his stun combo before it lands, keeping you ahead |

Ekko's Timewinder is slow to travel and easy to see coming, so if you respect his cooldown windows you get to poke him back for free with Noxious Blast every time it misses. Your range and combo damage out-trade his early kit, which relies on landing skillshots rather than direct pressure. Keep wave control tight and punish his approach — Ekko has no reliable way to threaten you from range before his combo is fully online.
