How to win lane as Ekko against Talon · 46.94% win rate over 1,881 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill matchup before either champion's combo threatens fully. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Talon's W-Q-E vault combo starts punishing you hard from level 2 onward. |
| Level 3 | Talon | That same burst-and-escape advantage continues at level 3 with no real counterplay from you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 remain his window as you still lack a gap-closer or hard engage answer. |
| Level 6 | Talon | His R adds stealth and dive potential at level 6, extending his lane dominance further. |
| First item | Ekko | Ekko's first item lets your resonance procs and burst finally punish his overextensions. |
| Two+ items | Ekko | By two-plus items your reset-capable R gives you the tools to outduel his front-loaded kit. |
Level 1 is close, but from level 2 Talon's W-Q-E combo lets him engage, burst, and vault away safely, and since you lack a reliable gap-closer or escape this early he can freely punish any misstep with almost no counterplay, forcing you into a passive farming pattern under turret.
