How to win lane as Ekko against Diana · 51.26% win rate over 1,662 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Whether Diana lands Crescent Strike is the coinflip that decides early trades, making this phase even. |
| Level 2 | Diana | Diana's all-in with Pale Cascade shielding is a genuine kill threat if she lands her slow, favouring her. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Neither side has a clean edge here — you can punish missed Crescent Strikes but she still threatens all-ins. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Diana's overall early trading pattern and shield sustain keep her ahead through the laning phase. |
| Level 6 | Diana | Moonfall gives Diana a guaranteed pull-in engage at level 6, making this her strongest all-in window. |
| First item | Ekko | Your item spike plus Chronobreak safety net finally lets you punish her engage attempts and win fights. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | Late game your rewind-enabled dive potential outpaces her all-in-or-nothing kit when she whiffs her engage. |
This lane is a coinflip on her landed Crescent Strike — if she hits it, the slow plus Pale Cascade all-in is nearly impossible to escape, but if she misses you can safely punish her with poke and zone her off farm, so level 1-2 comes down to whether she lands her skillshot.
