How to win lane as Ekko against Azir · 56.37% win rate over 502 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ekko | You out-trade Azir's weak early base kit before soldiers ramp up, punishing his short E dash range. |
| Level 2 | Ekko | Your all-in combo is fully online by level 3-5 while Azir still lacks reliable poke uptime, keeping this phase yours. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Both sides are figuring out wave management and soldier placement here — neither has a clean edge yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ekko | Chronobreak-adjacent aggression (pre-6 all-ins backed by good trades) keeps you ahead as levels 4-5 hit. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Your level 6 all-in window with Chronobreak lets you dive through soldiers with a safety net Azir can't answer. |
| First item | Ekko | Post-6 you can force fights on your terms since a rewound engage carries almost no risk for you. |
| Two+ items | Azir | Azir's item spike and soldier scaling eventually out-damage and out-range your kit, flipping the late game to him. |
You're the aggressor from level 3 onward — Azir's soldiers have a slow summon animation and short dash range early, so if you catch him without a soldier up near you, your Q-AA-W combo punishes him hard before his kit comes online.
