How to win lane as Ekko against Brand · 54.29% win rate over 1,048 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ekko | Brand's all-in relies entirely on landing Sear, and you already punish misses hard with your early trade pattern. |
| Level 2 | Ekko | Your Q-W combo out-trades his poke attempts while his mana costs limit how often he can throw skillshots. |
| Level 3 | Ekko | You continue snowballing the lane as your combo comes fully online and Brand still lacks any escape tool. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ekko | Level 4-5 sees you comfortably ahead on tempo, using superior mobility to punish any overextension. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Chronobreak completely neutralizes Pyroclasm, turning Brand's signature ultimate into a non-threat for you. |
| First item | Ekko | Your item spike lets you dive through his poke and burst him down before he lands his full stun combo. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Even scaled, Brand's total lack of mobility means your dive threat with Chronobreak keeps you ahead late. |
You're ahead from level 1 — Brand is entirely reliant on landing a skillshot stun to do anything, and if he misses Sear you can freely all-in him with your Q-W combo since he has no mobility to escape or punish you back.
