Read from Ekko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Viktor.
This is Ekko's own plan; across 6,511 pooled games the lane is leaning Ekko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill matchup, neither side has a decisive early edge in poke or trades |
| 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 Gravity Field's stun zone and Hextech Ray outrange Ekko's 325-range Phase Dive step-up |
| 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 Ekko since Arcane Storm is a channel and Parallel Convergence's stun cancels the ult outright |
| 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, both farming with basic poke while Siphon Power's shield blunts whatever chip Ekko lands. By level 3-5 Viktor's zoning takes over — Gravity Field on a 17s cooldown stuns anyone who lingers in it and Hextech Ray chips every 12s — so Ekko has no safe way to step into 325-range Phase Dive until those are spent, and Viktor owns the wave and the tempo meanwhile.
