Read from Ekko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
This is Ekko's own plan; across 6,269 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill matchup, both champions trade cautiously without a clear early edge |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based for the same reason, short trades are close and punishable both ways |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3-5 favors Yasuo because Wind Wall negates Ekko's ranged poke while his dash-knockup combo punishes overextension |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill window as both sides adjust trade patterns around Wind Wall timing |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Level 6 favors Ekko since his zone control and all-in tools begin to outpace Yasuo's damage in a straight fight at this point |
| First item | Yasuo | First item favors Yasuo because his crit-scaling knockup combo threatens a near one-shot before Ekko's own burst item is ready |
| Two+ items | Ekko | 2+ items favors Ekko as his burst combo and zone control catch up and outpace Yasuo's damage window in extended fights |
Levels 1-2 are close, with both champions relying on short trades and neither having a decisive structural edge yet. By levels 3-5, Yasuo's Wind Wall starts to negate Ekko's Timewinder poke, and his Sweeping Blade dash combined with a knockup punishes Ekko for overextending, tipping this specific stretch of the lane toward Yasuo's favor. Track Yasuo Wind Wall: 25s at rank 1, 17s at rank 5, and it blocks projectiles for 4 seconds — both Timewinder and Parallel Convergence die in it.
