| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based as both are still farming with basic combos before key augment power spikes |
| Level 3 | Viktor | Level 3-5 favors Viktor because his zone control from Gravity Field and Death Ray outpaces Ekko's short-range trading tools |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5 remain Viktor-favored for the same reason, his siege potential punishes any careless engage |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Level 6 favors Viktor since Chaos Storm's AoE damage zone punishes an ill-timed Ekko all-in severely |
| First item | Ekko | First item favors Ekko because his burst combo threatens a one-shot on an escape-less Viktor |
| Two+ items | Ekko | 2+ items favors Ekko as his mobility lets him flank around Viktor's zone control and burst him down in skirmishes |
Levels 1-2 are close, with both champions relying on basic poke and farm patterns without a clear structural edge. By level 3-5, Viktor's augmented kit — especially Gravity Field zoning and Death Ray poke — starts to punish Ekko for standing in the wave or diving carelessly, giving Viktor the edge in a phase where his siege potential outpaces Ekko's early trading tools.
