Miasma turns assassins off — ground the dash, petrify the dive, and fang the helpless body that was supposed to one-shot you.
Track: Ekko's R — Chronobreak (110–50s cooldown). Erases your kill and bursts back — track the hologram and save final damage for after it.
Read from Cassiopeia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
This is Cassiopeia's own plan; across 1,057 pooled games the lane is leaning Ekko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | You punish Timewinder's long cooldown and out-poke his ranged trading pattern |
| Level 2 | Cassiopeia | Continued poke advantage as your combo consistently outclasses his skillshot kit |
| 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 | Even / skill | Petrifying Gaze threatens to shut down his stun combo before it lands, keeping you ahead |
| First item | Even / skill | Your sustained damage and positioning continue to outclass his burst-reliant kit |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your DPS scaling and lockdown dominate his falling-off burst-and-reset playstyle |
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.
