Read from Ekko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1: Q reaches 1075 to Command: Attack's 815, and the ball has to travel before it lands. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | Level 2: Command: Attack is down to 6s and the second point turns the ball into a real combo. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3: her full W-E-Q poke combo comes online and out-trades your still-developing kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5: continued ball-assisted pressure keeps the lane in her favor as she out-ranges you. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Level 6: Chronobreak gives you a real answer to her Shockwave engage, evening the stakes. |
| First item | Ekko | First item: your string outdamages the 9s shield if you open while the ball is parked away from her. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items: the pull reaches 410 from the ball, so you flank from wherever the ball is not. |
You have the edge at level 1: your Q reaches 1075 against Command: Attack's 815, the ball has to travel to arrive, and her rank-1 Q is 7s to your 9s but hits for far less — punish any step-up for CS. From level 2 her Q is 6s and the ball combo comes together, so levels 2-3 are hers to press. Play around ball placement: parked near you means the poke combo is loaded, so move rather than stand. Command: Protect is a flat 9s shield with armour and magic resist attached, which is what makes prolonged trades a loss.
